His Death
It has been over 1 year since Ken Gorman was murdered in cold blood in his Denver apartment. To date there are no suspects and there is no new information from law enforcement regarding his death. Since Ken Gorman and law enforcement officials didn’t always see eye to eye there is reason to believe that Ken Gorman’s unsolved case is not actively being pursued. Somewhere there is a cold blood murder out there on the loose. This person might very well think that he was doing the public a service by murdering Ken Gorman. But still every murder deserves justice and we have provided some sample letters to write officials in the State of Colorado.

Re: Kenneth Gorman Homicide
I am writing to make you aware of a horrible act of violence committed against one of your constituents and to ask for your assistance in moving his case forward. On the night of February 17, 2007, Kenneth Gorman was shot to death in his home on Decatur Street in Denver. To date, the police have not made any arrests, nor do they have any suspects in this case.
Mr. Gorman was a well-know activist who advocated for the legalization of marijuana. He was the primary caregiver for a number of patients registered in Colorado’s medical marijuana program. At the time of his death, he was growing legal marijuana plants in his home
In 2000, Coloradoans voted to amend their constitution, legalizing marijuana use for some medical conditions. Still, state and local law enforcement officials have openly expressed skepticism about the medical marijuana law. Regardless what they think of the law, they have a sworn duty to investigate this case to the best of their ability. I fear that they may be letting it slide some because of Mr. Gorman’s political activities.
It has over a year since Ken Gorman died. At the time, his murder attracted wide-spread attention, but it has since faded from the spotlight. I urge you to take a look at Ken’s case and to encourage renewed effort from those in a position to bring the investigation to a successful conclusion.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Signed

Re: Kenneth Gorman Homicide
We are writing on behalf of the family and friends of Kenneth Gorman. On the night of February 17, 2007, someone entered Mr. Gorman’s Denver home and shot him; he died later at a local hospital. The attack was described as an “apparent home invasion” in the newspapers. To date, police have not arrested anyone, nor do they have any suspects.
Mr. Gorman had a long history of advocating for the legalization of marijuana; his activities made him well-known throughout his community. At the time of his death, he was the primary caregiver for many patients registered in Colorado’s medical marijuana program. He legally grew marijuana plants in his home. While state and local law enforcement officials may have frowned on his efforts in this regard, people who knew him personally knew him as a fine human being.
A year has passed since the night of Mr. Gorman’s murder. The case attracted national attention for a time, but interest has waned in the face of new, more sensational matters. Nonetheless, we respectfully urge you to renew your efforts and push forward with a thorough investigation of Mr. Gorman’s murder. It is our great hope that his killer will be found and tried soon.
We hope to hear from you soon with information about the status of this investigation.
Yours truly,
Signed

Re: Kenneth Gorman Homicide
Dear :
On the night of February 17, 2007, someone entered the Denver home of Kenneth Gorman and shot him; Mr. Gorman died later at an area hospital. The homicide was described in local papers as an “apparent home invasion.” At this time, the police have not made an arrest in this case, nor do they have any suspects.
Mr. Gorman was a well-known political activist recognized for his efforts to legalize marijuana. At the time of his death, he was the primary caregiver for a number of patients registered in Colorado’s medical marijuana program. He legally grew marijuana plants in his home. It is understandable that law enforcement officials at the state and local levels may find his activities in this regard distasteful, yet they have a sworn duty to make every effort to solve this case.
A year has passed since the night of Mr. Gorman’s death. The matter has attracted national attention. I respectfully urge you to take a look at the details of his case and bring pressure to bear upon those individuals in your sphere who are in a position to act on this matter.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,

Ive never tried any illegal drugs but have always felt that most should be legal and heavily taxed. Take away the crime and the crime rate will DROP. Each person should be able to smoke pot if they choose to. Washington and Jefferson grew it and it was legal at one time in most states.
I never met Ken, however he is a member of the family, literally. He was my husbands cousin and its a CRIME as well as a shame that his death is STILL unsolved 7 yrs after he was murdered in cold blood and nothing was taken from his home.
Shame on you Denver City, County and Colorado State Police for not getting to the bottom of what happened. R.I.P. K.C.!
