Murder

Speaking with detectives, Steplock allegedly said that he walked up to his mother, pointed his gun at her face and shot her.

Eaton was convicted in 2004 a sentenced to death for murdering Lisa Marie Kimmell in 1988.

The "stand your ground" law says a person "shall not be criminally prosecuted" for using "reasonable defensive force."

Uden was born in Denver, Colorado.

Her remains were found near Etna on May 18, and have since been positively identified, the attorney's office said.

Andrew Steplock is being held on a $1 million cash bond.

He could face up to life imprisonment without parole, plus 30 years if convicted on all four counts.

Steplock did not enter pleas to the felony charges.

During the sentencing hearing, Arapaho James Oldman insisted he was innocent.

He reportedly said that he broke in through the back door shortly before 1 a.m. and walked into the living room, where his mother was still awake.

On its website, the Colorado public defender's office states that its attorneys do not comment on pending criminal cases.

An autopsy has been ordered in accordance with department policy.
