For Immediate Release
Nov. 21, 2023
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker issued this statement today:
Today, the Western District Court of Appeals denied all pending motions that challenged the courts affirming the manslaughter conviction of a Kansas City police officer. The ruling today validates again the prosecution of this matter.
Today's decision is based on the rule of law in Missouri and focuses on the merits of this conviction. Others will view these rulings through a political lens. For that, I have no comment.
