Bail No Longer an Option for Repeat Domestic Violence Offenders in Colorado

Starting next week, anyone convicted of felony stalking or being a habitual domestic violence offender in Colorado won’t be able to get bail before sentencing under a new law prompted by a Colorado Springs woman’s 2016 slaying.

The No Bail for Stalking and Domestic Violence Offenders Act goes into effect Wednesday, along with a host of other new laws passed during the 2017 legislative session.

The legislation was prompted by the killing of 28-year-old Janice Nam, who Colorado Springs police say was killed by an ex-boyfriend — Glen Law Galloway — who was convicted of stalking her.
