Appeals Court Overturns Denver Strangulation Conviction
A Denver man's assault conviction was reversed by Colorado's second-highest court on Thursday.
The court found that an expert's testimony about the potential risks of strangulation had no bearing on the facts of the case.
The case involved a Denver man, Bauereiss, who got into an argument with a victim. According to testimony, Bauereiss allegedly used a dog leash around the victim's neck and smothered her with a pillow, but her breathing was not impaired.
- Bauereiss was charged with two counts of assault for use of the leash and pillow.
- He was also charged with one count of obstructing telephone service for taking the victim's cell phone.
Jurors at his 2022 trial acquitted Bauereiss of the leash-related offense, but found him guilty of the other charges.
