"There was no reasonable likelihood of conviction," Thom LeDoux, Deputy District Attorney for the 11th Judicial District, told The Pueblo Chieftain. "We relied on various factors, including the circumstance of self-defense, in making the decision."
According to LeDoux, Brent's family is "understandably upset" by the situation.
On the night of June 9, deputies with the Fremont County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to 901 Kentucky Avenue, to investigate a domestic disturbance report. When a patrol unit arrived on the scene, deputies discovered Robin and her three daughters crying on the doorstep. Brent had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was lying on the floor inside the house. Paramedics attempted to save Brent's life but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the police affidavit, Brent and Robin had spent the preceding three hours out on the town hopping from bar to bar. During one stop, Brent allegedly became angry when a male customer, identified by police as "Big Ben," gave Robin a hug. Once back home, Brent allegedly started a fight with Robin about the incident and also because he did not have clean clothes to wear to work. It was then, according to the affidavit, that Brent attacked Robin and kicked her. In response, Robin fought back and kicked him in the groin before allegedly shooting him in the chest with a 45 caliber pistol.
No further details of the incident have been made public.
Following the decision by the DA's office, Gall was released from jail, where she was being held on a $50,000 bond for investigation of second-degree murder.
