A wiretap error means a Colorado Springs man sentenced to 96 years on charges of supplying methamphetamine will get a new trial.
Thomas Lynn O'Hara III was convicted in 2007 of taking part in a drug ring that moved 10 to 15 pounds of meth every week from Colorado Springs to Mesa County.
But the Colorado Court of Appeals granted O'Hara a new trial in an opinion issued last Thursday. The court ruled that Mesa County prosecutors erred in getting the correct permission for a wiretap.
Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said Friday he may appeal to the state Supreme Court.
