AG to Recommend Court Enter Judgment in Favor of Lamonte McIntyre Wrongful Conviction Claim

 

The attorney general’s office will recommend a Shawnee County court enter judgment in favor of a claim for compensation and other benefits by Lamonte McIntyre who served 23 years in prison for a 1994 double murder in Kansas City, Kansas, that the evidence now available shows he did not commit. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says since Mr. McIntyre filed his lawsuit in Shawnee County last March, they have worked diligently to obtain and review all available evidence, including evidence not provided in the earlier judicial proceedings.

 

He says two developments have enabled him now to recommend judgment in favor of Mr. McIntyre. First, an ongoing criminal investigation by the KBI has confirmed previously available information and discovered additional information that supports Mr. McIntyre’s claim of innocence. Second, Mr. McIntyre’s counsel in October 2019 formally provided the attorney general’s office with more than 9,100 pages of documents, most of which had been previously provided, but more than 900 of which were not previously provided to the attorney general.
