For example, at his trial in 1994 when he was 17, there was no physical evidence or motive presented. Worse, according to McIntyre’s current lawyers, lead police detective Roger Golubski built the case by threatening witnesses. Bushnell said the fallout may impact other potential exonerations.

If he was convicted and later exonerated then that's one thing. If he was convicted as a result of improper actions on the part of the prosecution then that's another thing entirely, and the state owes him compensation.

They will.

There is more to this than is being reported.

A simple question...how is it that YOUR name came up in the investigation? They didn’t just pick him up randomly off the street.

I would think that he could file a federal lawsuit under “deprivation of rights under the color of law”.

There is a racial angle to this case.

Prosecutor wants help investigating former detective in Kansas

WICHITA, Kan. -- A Kansas prosecutor has asked for help in investigating a retired white police detective accused of preying on black women for sex over decades and pursuing the wrongful murder conviction of the son of one of the women.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree, the first black elected district attorney in Kansas, noted in an interview Wednesday that Kansas City Police Chief Terry Zeigler recently said there should be an investigation of former detective Roger Golubski, who numerous residents say wielded his power to terrorize the Kansas City, Kansas black community for years.

"When the chief of police says something like that, then I have to look at this retired detective who was with the police department for 30 years," Dupree said.......

"The case against McIntyre, chronicled in 2016 by The Star, included no gun, no motive, no physical evidence whatsoever that tied him to the crime, and no evidence that he knew either victim. Nor was there evidence that the Kansas City, Kan., police at the time had searched for such evidence.

Instead, within hours of the crime — and based on the vague account of one witness who said the killer looked somewhat like a young man she knew with the name Lamonte — Lamonte McIntyre was arrested, despite alibis from family members who swore he had spent the day at home.

The only other witness against him was a woman in the neighborhood, a relative of the victims, who later recanted her testimony and said that she lied in identifying McIntyre because she was coerced by the then lead detective in the case, Roger Golubski. Golubski, who retired as a captain from the police force in 2010, has previously denied the allegation."

When Lamonte McIntyre was exonerated for a double murder in October, he walked out of a Kansas prison with a clean record – but not a dime to his name, reports CBS News’ Dean Reynolds.

After losing 23 years of his life behind bars, the state is offering him nothing.

After robbing an innocent man of 23 years of his life, a lot of money is the very least the state should be offering him. There should be consequences for this.

If this guy hunted down every dirty lawyer and cop that pressured witnesses into giving false testimony, the judge wouldn’t want me on that jury...

After 23 years in prison, such a life would be normal to me.

I would have no problem in administering my own revenge on the people who took my life away.............

Where are all the do-gooder civil rights attorneys who should be lining up to sue the state and whatever individuals were responsible for the miscarriage of justice?
