More than 60 years ago, policymakers in Colorado embraced the idea that early intervention could prevent child abuse and save lives.

Defense lawyers in the YNW Melly murder case are getting back to work, at least behind the scenes, though it will still be months before a second jury hears the bloody details.
Broward Circuit Judge John J. Murphy issued a ruling this week allowing background work, such as sworn witness interviews, to continue while key issues are considered by the Fourth District Court of Appeal.
Most criminal cases are put on hold while critical questions are under appeal, and Melly’s case has both sides challenging Murphy’s decisions.
Prosecutors want the appeals court to allow them to introduce a 20-minute documentary produced by Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, 25.
