A Fort Collins mother wants the bus driver who hit and killed her son last January to face criminal charges. The local prosecutor has already said that\u2019s not happening, citing a lack of evidence. The mom disagrees, and has filed a court motion, attempting to reverse that decision\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hadn\u2019t seemed a year ago that a part-time job at a bus fueling station could\u2019ve been too dangerous, yet there\u2019s video showing the end of 37-year-old Jason Telleen\u2019s life, when he was run over by a city bus as it pulled in\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage provided by the lawyer for Jason\u2019s mom Patricia Telleen shows him walking on a wide-open lot for several seconds, before he\u2019s struck. The family says the driver had been focused on the garage door he\u2019d been heading for, and not the man directly in his path\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Telleen believes that driver was careless, and she\u2019d thought he was going to be charged for her son\u2019s death. He wasn\u2019t, because the DA\u2019s office claimed there wasn\u2019t enough evidence to prove a crime\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s now filed a rare motion, trying to convince the judge that the prosecutor has made the wrong decision. If she wins, a special prosecutor would take over that case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TAG– Ms. Telleen\u2019s lawyer Matthew Holtzman says the bus driver was going too fast at the time, and didn\u2019t watch where he was going. He believes the evidence supports a charge of careless driving resulting in death. It may still be several weeks before a judge decides on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
