Colorado prosecutors have announced plans to drop charges against Solomon Galligan, a 33-year-old registered sex offender accused of attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old boy from Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora during recess. The decision follows a mental competency evaluation that found Galligan unfit to stand trial. The case is being handled by the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, led by Democrat Amy Padden, who has faced calls for recall over her decision to dismiss the charges. Galligan, who is reported to be transgender, was captured on camera during the attempted abduction. The move to release him has sparked public outrage and demands for legislative measures to hold prosecutors accountable when violent offenders are released and subsequently reoffend. The prosecutor's office has ties to billionaire George Soros, which has been noted in discussions surrounding the case.
