9NEWS (Denver): The Republican state representative who wanted charges brought against the head of Colorado’s public health department said Monday that he does not want anyone to go to prison over death certificates written during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though State Rep. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) also said he does not have proof that Jill Ryan, the executive director of the Colorado Dept. of Health Environment (CDPHE), knowingly altered death certificates to inflate COVID-19 deaths in the state.

“I have the document that was provided to me by a constituent, who is a family member of someone staying a Someren Glen, the nursing home, and that document talks about how CDPHE is overriding physicians’ determination of cause of death, which is what’s going on with the death certificates,” Baisley said to Next with Kyle Clark.
