Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey did nothing improper in announcing charges against former Denver judge and city attorney Larry Manzanares, the office of attorney regulation has concluded.

Manzanares committed suicide June 22, a week after he was charged with stealing a court-owned laptop computer.

A lawyer requested the Colorado Supreme Court’s Attorney Regulation Counsel investigate whether Storey violated rules of professional conduct by holding a news conference to discuss the charges and releasing an affidavit that detailed pornography Manzanares was accused of downloading and deleting before he turned over the laptop to court officials.

Assistant Regulation Counsel Louise Culberson-Smith said she reviewed an affidavit and a video of the news conference Storey gave to announce the charges. She said she and five other attorneys in the office – including office head John Gleason ‑ found insufficient evidence to support filing of a formal complaint against Storey.
