You may recall a story I have posted on this blog about a small Kansas newspaper and a police raid that resulted in no criminal charges.
A $235,000 payment has settled one federal lawsuit related to that raid that resulted in the removal of the Marion, Kansas chief of police from the suit. But that leaves other civil actions unsettled.
This all stems from an August 11, 2023 police raid on the office of the Marion County Record, the publisher’s home and the home of a city councilor.
Associated Press reporter in Kansas, John Hanna, has the details and background for all this. You can access his story (no paywall) at this link.
