State Senator Pete Lee’s case could be dismissed due to false information

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The attorney representing State Senator Pete Lee of Colorado Springs says the voter fraud case against him should be dismissed.

Lee's attorney claims the case is based largely on false information presented to the grand jury last month.    

According to the Denver Post, an investigator with the 4th judicial district attorney's office unknowingly presented inaccurate evidence which led to lee being indicted in August on charges of giving false information when casting a ballot. Specifically, using an address where he didn't actually live.    

The Post reports that attorney David Kaplan has now filed a motion to dismiss the case against Lee because the information presented to the grand jury was based on state records that were wrong.    

A spokesperson district attorney Michael Allen confirmed the mistake to the Post and added that the case is now being reviewed.
