To be fair, there was nothing the judges could do about the corrupt prosecutor. See Morehead left her job as district attorney To become a US attorney. She literally worked for the department of justice.
That’s where she worked when she seized the family home of two twins convicted of drug dealing. The twins’ parents actually left them the home in their will but Morehead claimed they willingly agreed to forfeited the home… She just couldn’t find the paperwork
There was the man incarcerated at Leavenworth, where Morehead would occasionally call and instruct guards that she had judges’ orders to put him in solitary confinement No such orders existed
Then there was times when she just wanted REALLY harsh sentences. She asked a judge to give Mardell Trotter for a small amount of crack. One time She charged 42 people with selling the same weed. Thankfully a judge vacated that sentence
Only after the plaintiffs agreed not to file prosecutorial misconduct charges Then there’s the case of the interracial couple who beefed with Morehouse for years. They had a blog calling her corrupt… Until federal agents raided their home & charged them with wire fraud.
For illegally selling stuff on EBay. And when they kept writing about her, Morehead asked a judge to revoke their bond NINE TIMES. Anyway, this thread is getting long. You can read the story here theroot.com/evilest-white-…
Then, read my yearlong investigation into the group of Black women who brought down the drug-dealing, human trafficking, serial rapist cop who protected Morehead theroot.com/a-criminal-inj…
My point is that this is wh Black journalists are important.. I don’t know if I could have roamed & made ppl feel comfortable enough to talk to me if I was white. But I didn’t do this, a bunch of brave Black women did this.
National media wasn’t even on this story. But I just looked where they told me to look. The only reason I thought about this was that when I woke up this morning, one of them had texted me this: “Look what we did… No one else. Just us.” kansaspublicradio.org/2024-04-16/not…
@michaelharriot Wow. I’m glad it finally happened but it took way too long to get her disbarred. kansascity.com/opinion/opn-co…
