Notice of Brady Disclosure Record Status for Patrick Murphy

At this time, there are no records of previously disclosed Brady material available for Patrick Murphy. This should not be interpreted as a conclusive determination regarding Patrick Murphy’s conduct, credibility, professional history, or performance. The presence of a profile on this platform is non-punitive and should not, by itself, be understood as an allegation, finding, or adverse determination.

The absence of disclosed material is also affected by institutional limitations. 11th Judicial District Court is not in compliance with its Brady disclosure obligations, and Colorado does not maintain a functioning system for the tracking, verification, and disclosure of Brady-related information.

For a more complete assessment of Patrick Murphy’s record, inquiries should be directed to 11th Judicial District Court, any prior employers, relevant prosecuting agencies, and other official custodians of personnel, disciplinary, and Brady disclosure records.

Colorado Public (Open) Records Act

C.R.S. 24-72-201 et seq.

Until the Colorado Public (Open) Records Act was formalized in 1969, the ability of a citizen to gain access to public records was at the discretion of the custodian of the records. Public records include all writings that are made, maintained, kept or held by entities that are subject to the Colorado Public (Open) Records Act for use in the exercise of functions required or authorized by law or administrative rule or involving the receipt or expenditure of public funds. Keep in mind, this could mean that a record that is in the custody of an agency subject to the Colorado Public (Open) Records Act would not itself, be subject to the Colorado Public (Open) Records Act if it was not made, maintained or kept for a governmental function or for an official reason.

There are several clear exemptions in the Colorado Public (Open) Records Act. The first statute exempts correspondence that is work product and all correspondence with constituents that clearly implies by its nature or content that the constituent expects that it is confidential.

Any person can request records and they are not required to state a purpose nor is the custodian of the records allowed to ask said person to provide a reason. Criminal justice record cannot be used for solicitation of business for monetary gain, but that is the only restriction on obtaining public records. Colorado Law stipulates a three day deadline for a response.
