DENVER -- The former U.S. Forest Service employee accused of deliberately starting the largest wildfire in state history wants the court to drop the requirement that she stay in a halfway house until her trial.
Lawyers for Terry Barton filed a motion on Monday in U.S. District court asking that terms of her release on $600,000 bond be changed to allow her to leave a Denver-area halfway house.
Federal public defenders said Barton is a longtime Colorado resident with a stable work history and no criminal record. The court will likely respond to the motion on Tuesday.
