The trial for the July 2008 murder of Angie Zapata is currently scheduled for 9 days, April 14-24. Jury selection will begin on Tuesday, April 14 and is anticipated to take more than one day. The trial will take place in Courtroom 11 of the Weld County Courts at 901 9th Ave in Greeley. It would be nice to provide as much community support to Angie Zapata's family and friends as possible by having community members in attendance so please come by if you can. If there are more people than seats in the courtroom, a lottery system will be used to allow people into court in a fair way, giving priority to family members. Buttons, t-shirts, etc with photos of Angie will not be allowed in the courtroom.There has already been media coverage about this case, some better than others. If you see any transphobic or homophobic language in any coverage, please write letters to the editor, comment in the blog section of news websites, etc.
