no mention of extradition, so i guess CO. gets first shot.
District Attorney Frank Ruybalid filed a total of 76 charges against the three Dougherty gang members prior to a court hearing Monday afternoon.
76 charges? That's an awful lot of paperwork-I wonder how many of them will end up getting dropped.

Lee Grace Dougherty, one of three "Dougherty gang" siblings who went on a multi-state crime spree, received a 24-year prison sentence in Coloado today, though the trio still has more charges to answer for in another jurisdiction.
Dougherty, 29, had faced a maximum of 28 years for pleading guilty to first-degree assault and two counts of menacing.
She was the second sibling to be sentenced today. This morning, her brother Dylan Dougherty, 27, received a 32-year sentence.
Dylan Dougherty was given the maximum sentence for pleading guilty to one count of first-degree assault, according to ABC News' Denver affiliate KMGH. The siblings' crimes included a Colorado shootout with police and a daring bank robbery in Georgia.
"Contrary to a lot of people's beliefs, I never intended to...I never tried to...I never wanted to hurt anybody," an emotional Dylan Dougherty told the Huerfano County Courthouse judge.
"It is true that I acted out of desperation and I am sorry for the choices that I made," he said through tears. "I don't know really what things differently I would have done, but I truly am sorry to anyone who was involved."
He apologized to police and any bystanders who could potentially have been hurt and said that his actions were "not to my character."
The third sibling, Ryan Dougherty, 22, is expected to be sentenced later today.
Officials in Georgia are waiting for the siblings to be extradited for charges related to the bank robbery. After all three are sentenced in Colorado, they are expected to be transported to Albany, Ga., by the U.S. Marshals Service for a hearing May 15.
