Appeals Court Overturns Denver Strangulation Conviction
A Denver man's assault conviction was reversed by Colorado's second-highest court on Thursday.
The court found that an expert's testimony about the potential risks of strangulation had no bearing on the facts of the case.
Case Details
The case involved an argument between the defendant, Bauereiss, and the victim. Bauereiss allegedly used a dog leash around the victim's neck, but her breathing was not impaired.
- Breathing was not impaired when the leash was used.
- Bauereiss also smothered the victim with a pillow, but her ability to breathe remained intact.
- He took the victim's cell phone, leading to a charge of obstructing telephone service.
Bauereiss was charged with two counts of assault and one count of obstructing telephone service. He was acquitted of the leash-related offense but found guilty of the other charges in his 2022 trial.
