Civil rights groups in Kansas City, Kansas, want the DOJ to probe prosecutors’ role in wrongful convictions
Summary by Ground News
Civil rights groups, attorneys and community leaders asked the U.S. Department of Justice to examine unconstitutional policing practices in Kansas City about a year and a half ago. This week, they sent additional material as part of their plea for federal intervention, hoping to prompt reform not only at the police department but also in the district attorney's office. The DOJ said it received the letter but declined to comment.
