District attorney acquits school sex offender after jury votes guilty
POSTED 9:56 PM, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018, BY CHRIS HALSNE AND CHRIS KOEBERL, UPDATED AT 10:37PM, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018

DENVER -- On Jan. 18, 2017, only about a week into her new job as Denver District Attorney, Beth McCann had her office file an "unusual" request in district court.

The document was called a "people's statement conceding reversal of conviction."

It essentially told the court system that the DA's office had changed its mind after winning a conviction during a jury trial the prior year.

In fact, McCann's office wrote that it completely agreed with the convicted criminal's defense attorney – that the case should have never even been filed by her predecessor, Mitch Morrissey.

The FOX31 Problem Solvers were familiar with the name of the criminal listed in the paperwork: 25-year-old Kendall Robertson.

Robertson was part of a politically connected family. His mother, Angela, was a Denver high school principal. His dad, Charles was a deputy director for former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. Longtime Denver School Board member Landri Taylor told FOX31 he was a good family friend.
