Jeff Lindsey has been named the acting district attorney for the 11th Judicial District by co-Chief Judge Amanda Hunter. He was sworn in Friday.
Lindsey fills the district attorney role created by the disbarment of Linda Stanley on Sept. 27.
The 11th Judicial District includes the counties of Chaffee, Custer, Fremont and Park counties.
Lindsey has been the chief deputy district attorney in the 10th Judicial District attorney’s office since 2021, a press release reads. He is unopposed as a candidate on the Nov. 5 ballot for district attorney in the 11th Judicial District. He has been an attorney for 29 years and a prosecutor for 27 years. Lindsey holds a juris doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Law.
In June, Stanley was disbarred from practicing law, a decision she appealed with the Colorado Supreme Court. A stay request was denied on Oct. 18 and disbarment was issued by the Colorado Supreme Court on Nov. 1.
