CO CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - #13 *ARREST*

[Dawookie]

Wait! What is "solicitation to first degree murder"??

On a side note chive on!

 

[BRRI]

Dear Jesus! Unbelievable

I figured it was the obvious meaning, but wondering if there is another legal meaning to it

 

[Peppery]

this is so sickening -- I wonder if they argued and he got angry and struck her , NOT MEANING TO KILL HER , but a single blow did -- so terrible -- they were both beautiful people and i'm sure they have a beautiful baby -- prayers for kelsey's family and all those touched by this tragedy------------------ he wouldn't have harmed his baby (would he?) -- an argument was probably over the baby ---------- it wasn't planned ?

Nope. Charged with soliciting 1st degree murder

 

[mistivon]

Yes of course this was premeditated. He was actively trying to find someone to kill her. Obviously he knew what he was doing because no one else would help him.
Disgusted. He will never give her up so I really hope they find her.
Please.

 

[Jethro4WS]

Solicitation of first degree murder? What does that mean? Anything but the obvious that he solicited her murder?

Under Section 18-2-301 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) you commit criminal solicitation when:

• You attempt to persuade another person to commit a felony, or
• You offer your services or the services of a third party as either a principal or accomplice to commit a felony;

AND

• You intend to promote or facilitate the commission of that crime, under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent.

 

[gngr~snap]

My question as well.

Does this suggest premeditation?

Big time!!!
IMO

 

[liltexans]

What the HELL could she have done to warrant this?? What was going on, this is completely unexpected and I am just broken.

She didn't do anything to warrant this. He decided to end her life. It's likely the same old story of control regarding her and their child. He didn't want anyone else (another man) in Kelsey's life or in his daughter's life. IMO

 

[Irmese]

First degree murder and Solicitation to commit murder. Not so smart after all.

 

[The Night Watchman]

Thump, Thump. More shoes to fall. Solicitation. This could snowball.

 

[SuziQ]

That means he had help right??

It could mean he solicited someone to kill her, but they refused. Their tip off could have been valuable.

He was charged with 1st degree murder. Meaning it was premeditated. IMO he is an ugly person inside and out.

 

[mistivon]

Sorry I meant warrant this *in his mind*
Of course there is no reason.

 

[Charlot123]

I think it was a planned reaction as well - JMO

That means, not accidental, premeditated???
I posted that someone might have helped him to get rid of evidence, but that would have been conspiracy. I never thought he planned to murder her.
How horrible.

Soliciting someone to MURDER her is planned.

I am getting a vibe that you are not blaming him 100%.

 

[Gardener1850]

Nothing. She did nothing except exist. He is evil. MOO.

I wonder if anyone else will be charged along with him based on this

 

[Trudie]

Late to presser. Was mom arrested? Tysm

 

[SuziQ]

My question as well.

Does this suggest premeditation?

Absolutely. This was a premeditated crime.
