From the Daily Camera in Boulder CO: The Boulder County District Attorney's Office
announced Friday it will file felony trespassing charges against the
21-year-old University of Colorado graduate who was shot after police
say she drunkenly wandered into a couple's Boulder home early
Wednesday....
Police say Ripple entered the bedroom of a
house at 425 College Ave. at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. The screen door was
closed, but unlocked.
The owners of the house, identified by
county property records as Timothy Justice and Doreen Orion, were in
bed when they heard Ripple come in. In the darkness, they shouted to
warn the intruder to leave and that they had a gun, but Ripple
continued walking through the bedroom, and Justice fired one shot,
police said.
When the homeowners turned on the lights, they saw
Ripple on the floor with a gunshot wound to her hip and called 911,
police said. They said they did not recognize her as anyone they knew.

This drunk could have been killed and she is lucky she is only been shot in the hip and charged with a felony trespass.
But her equally drunk like lawyer said she should not have been charged: "She didn't enter the house with any intent of
committing a crime or harming anyone," Cribari said Friday. "We're
thankful she was not killed or more seriously hurt, but we're
disappointed they decided to file charges on top of all this."
To the ass lawyer: How did the homeowners know she was not in the house to commit a crime- she was already committing a crime by being in the house and you don't know what may have happened if she didn't get shot.
Thankfully, the shooter will not be charged and this drunk will be charged. The drunk probably won't get jail time, but at least she will be placed on probation. Hopefully the drunk will not break into anybody's else's house and scare the homeowners half to death when she breaks into a house and drunk waddles into the homeowner's bedroom.
Good for the DA in Boulder, CO.
