Former Deputy Convicted of Misdemeanor in Christian Glass' Death, Murder Charge Undecided

Andrew Buen was found guilty of reckless endangerment but jurors deadlocked on second-degree murder and official misconduct charges.

A Clear Creek County jury convicted former deputy Andrew Buen of reckless endangerment in the shooting death of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old who called 911 during a mental health crisis.
Jurors were unable to reach a verdict on charges of second-degree murder and official misconduct, leaving the possibility of a retrial open.
The jury deliberated for two-and-a-half days and was instructed to stay true to their convictions, a legal process known as the Allen Instruction.
District Attorney Heidi McCollum has yet to decide whether to pursue a retrial on the unresolved charges.
The case has drawn national attention and prompted calls for police reform, particularly regarding crisis intervention.
