On April 15, 1994, Donald Ewing and Doniel Quinn were shot in the afternoon while they sat in a parked car in Kansas City, Kansas.
Police quickly zeroed in on a man named Lamonte McIntyre, who lived just a mile from where the shooting took place. McIntyre had no connection to the victims and no motive to kill them, nor was there any physical evidence tying him to the case. In addition, five people were able to say where McIntyre was before, during, and after the murder.
But police had two witnesses to the shooting who identified McIntyre from a photo line-up, reported the non-profit Centurion, which is dedicated to freeing people who are wrongly convicted. One of the witnesses, Niko Quinn, was a cousin to the victims, and told Assistant District Attorney Terra Morehead ahead of the trial that McIntyre was not the murderer after she first saw him in person. Quinn claimed that Morehead threatened to charge her with contempt and take away her children if she didn’t testify that McIntyre was the man she saw commit the double homicide. Two years after the trial, Quinn recanted her identification in a signed affidavit, saying she had been forced to identify McIntyre as the shooter or risk losing her children. Quinn’s sister also came forward to say she had also witnessed the murder and that McIntyre was not the shooter.

True. Instead she will keep everything and the taxpayers will get screwed. She might be forced to retire, but probably not even that.
If he can prove his case, I hope he gets every penny.
Malicious prosecution should be a criminal offense.
I will believe this narrative AFTER the author posts ALL the trial and appellate transcripts on line.
Not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?
That is certainly possible.
Innocent?
Almost never.
Also, please notice that the Police and Prosecutors rarely make a rebuttal, because that opens the door to personal civil lawsuits.
It’s not the judge, it was the prosecuting attorney who coerced two witnesses to commit perjury.
THIS!👍
I have this conservative friend who is no longer employed as a lawyer. He changed professions and is doing well. He’s a pretty smart guy and probably could succeed at whatever he was motivated to do. He was no longer motivated to practice law because of the crap he saw. He describes the entire criminal justice system as industry to make money at the expense of the weakest people. The politics involved are scandalous. Justice frequently an afterthought.
Did you read the article? Someone else has admitted to the crime, and the only real witness in the original trial recanted and said they were threatened by the prosecution.
“Did you read the article? Someone else has admitted to the crime, and the only real witness in the original trial recanted and said they were threatened by the prosecution.”
Law and order conservatives don’t care about our corrupt law system.
They like draconian punishment for people regardless of the facts.
Our law system from a defense attorney perspective, should be about defending their client.
Our law system regarding the prosecution, detectives, judges, & juries should be about the “truth.”
Yes, it is.
Prosecutor should be sentenced to 23 years in prison. Sadly, even if he was prosecuted, he’d likely get no more than a week in prison and disbarred.
Of course I read the article.
No one has admitted to the crime, and no one else has been charged with the crime.
The cousin of a local drug kingpin claims that a teenager named Monster "was allegedly paid $500 to kill Doniel Quinn and Donald Ewing..."
Sorry for embarrassing you.
