Kansas City Star Accuses Police Of Planting Evidence?!?

At the very least they're helping propagate a very controversial theory.

TKC might never get close to a Pulitzer but this line of reasoning and argumentation is dangerous.

Moreover, because the best satirists know when to back off, this speculation about evidence tampering is extremely casual . . .

"Here’s the detail that gets me: When a crime scene tech first did an inventory of the contents of Cameron Lamb’s pockets on the December 2019 day that he was shot to death by an Kansas City police officer in his own backyard, she catalogued everything she found there: a penny, a pair of tweezers, and a cigarette lighter. By the next day, though, another inventory of the 26-year-old mechanic’s pockets done at the morgue listed the penny, the tweezers and the lighter plus two new items: two live rounds. And unless those bullets were walking down the street and hopped into a dead man’s pocket, someone had planted them there . . .

"The scene was staged, prosecutor Tim Dollar argued. Staged to back up DeValkenaere’s story that he’d only shot Lamb to protect his partner, Troy Schwalm, after seeing Lamb pull a gun on Schwalm with his left hand."

To be fair, this writing is brilliant . . . The Star and this "Pulitzer finalist" take a courtroom theory with NO EVIDENCE to back it up and use it as their own. 

Meanwhile, community concern regarding this case continues to rise amid activist and journalist outcry.
