Check out @lancebenzel on Twitter for a live account of former Colorado Springs police officer Joshua Carrier’s sentencing hearing, scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday before 4th Judicial District Judge David A. Gilbert.
Carrier, 31, will receive a life sentence, as I detailed in today’s Gazette.
He is also expected to remain silent – but relatives of some of the 22 boys who lodged sexual abuse allegations against him may address the court.
On my Twitter account, you will find details I won’t be able to provide in print. A warning though: Given the limitations in technology – and limitations of this observer – you may occasionally encounter confusing passages.
Feel free to shoot me a note during the live coverage and I will do my best to answer questions.
My coverage will not identify students or their parents by name.

Hope to see you on Friday morning.
Eric:I am a retired lieenutant colonel and high school History teacher two careers and a Masters’ degreed Historian. I am also a big fan of your 1632 alternate history series. I claim credibility because I have them all in the Baen hardcovers and have read them numerous times. Here’s the grumpy part: Is is possible that you not have Virginia DeMarce write any more solo volumes in the history? Frankly, she is a fine Historian if you like 17th century European ecclesiastic and convoluted German peerage history, but she simply cannot, even with her cast of hundreds, keep my interest. I just finished your Saxon Uprising good job, by the way and on the basis of the chronology of the series in the back gave DeMarce’s Tangled Web another chance. Now I have paid my dues on this one because I bought it in hardcover at a bookstore and then Amazon shipped me another copy that I had preordered. I read the first two chapters and then gave both of them away to friends because I just couldn’t plow my way through it. Now I have gone and bought yet another large-format paperback copy and just finished it. I was right the first time; it really was that boring. Other than that, Mr. Flint, I love your work, and have virtually everything else you have written in Science Fiction I am not a Fantasy fan and enjoyed all of it. Keep writing.
