Here's How Suspected Kansas City Lawyer Killer David Jungerman Might Earn Freedom

Retired newsman JimmyC has been keeping up with the story of a locked up old codger better than any working newsie in Kansas City. (Apparently, pushing election coverage is far more important) 

Meanwhile . . .

TKC is surprised the old dude didn't kick the bucket in jail given that the JaxCo prison was previously noted as a "human rights crisis" in a report to legislators.

Meanwhile . . .

The longtime local newsman finds a way to blame police for a case that has always been more focued on overwhelming negative local opinion amongst local middle-class professionals rather than the deets of the case . . .

One is that one of the two lead prosecutors, Dan Nelson, left the Prosecutor’s Office in February to take a job with a private law firm. I expect the lead prosecutor to be Lauren Whiston, a top assistant to Jean Peters Baker. From what I’ve seen, Whiston is very good, but she’s carrying a big load and will be under tremendous pressure.

Another concern is that I don’t have much confidence in the homicide detectives at KCPD. The division has a low murder-solution rate, and, overall, the department has been poorly managed under the last two chiefs — Rick Smith and Darryl Forte.
