Suspected Dirty Cop Defense Questions Credibility Of Accusers

Again . . .

From our perspective . . . This sordid tale from the Dotte will likely never be resolved because the defendant is dying and this kind of trial takes a VERY LONG TIME . . . That's part of the reason this shocking case has been championed by some of the more clever local activists who have already done the math.

For now . . . Here are the basics from the latest update:

"Golubski, who will be in federal court Wednesday in Topeka, is asking a judge to deny prosecutors’ use of seven women as witnesses — named and numbered as “other victims” or “O.V.” 1-7 — because he says they are unproven allegations from decades ago.

"The government’s case against Golubski says he violated the civil rights of two women, who are identified by their initials, S.K. and O.W. Prosecutors named theseven other women in an attempt to establish Golubski’s pattern of serial sexual assault of Black women from 1975 through 2010, when he was a KCKPD officer. Golubski denies the allegations.

"The seven women’s claims, Golubski's attorney Chris Joseph wrote in a January filing, are “simply smearing Golubski’s character” by making what he says are unproven claims from long ago.

" 'The government thinks a jury will more readily believe S.K. and O.W.’s allegations if they are presented among a chorus of voices accusing Golubski of sexual crimes and misconduct,' Joseph wrote. 'But the voices joining the chorus suffer from similar credibility problems as S.K. and O.W.' "
