In a potential significant victory for Mesa County prosecutors, the Colorado Supreme Court on Monday reversed a decision by a Mesa County judge suppressing statements from a suspect in the 1994 rape and murder of a Palisade woman. Douglas Thames "knowingly and intelligently" waived his Miranda rights before being interviewed by authorities behind the walls of the Kit Carson Correctional Center about the murder of Jacie Taylor in February 2012, the state's high court said in a published decision Monday.
