US EditionProsecutors to Drop Charges Against Man Accused of Trying to Kidnap Child From School: Reports
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 14 – Charges against Solomon Galligan were dropped after he was found mentally incompetent to stand trial, prompting calls for administrative changes and a recall effort against the district attorney.
- On July 12, 2025, the Aurora District Attorney’s office said it will drop charges against Solomon Galligan, who faced attempted kidnapping charges at Black Forest Hills Elementary School.
- Under state statute, a doctor found Galligan incompetent last month, and as a result, he must be civilly committed and charges dismissed, according to Eric Ross.
- After the incident, parents Dante White said, `It’s super scary to watch`, and parents submitted a 10-page letter demanding an independent review.
- Instead of prosecution, Galligan will be civilly committed, the district is making administrative changes at Black Forest Hills, and Danielle Jurinsky said efforts to recall DA Amy Padden are underway.
- Investigations by Denver7 have revealed that Colorado law changes require dismissing cases when defendants are found incompetent, exposing systemic issues in criminal justice.
