    District Attorney Ensey: Okay!

  7. How did this warrant get by the District Attorney Ensey and the Magistrate Judge who signed off on it Laura Viar?

    “The magistrate who authorized last year’s police raid on the Marion County Record escaped discipline from a state panel by making claims that contradict statements in federal lawsuits about how the search warrants arrived in front of her …”

  11. Former Marion police chief Gideon Cody will be charged with interfering with the judicial process, special prosecutors announced Monday.

    Former chief Cody and current chief Zach Hudlin alleged that the then-Vice Mayor of Marion and the Record's reporters had impersonated a local restaurant owner when they obtained her driving record that confirmed a driving under the influence conviction, despite the driving record being public information available to anyone from the Kansas Department of Revenue's web site.

  13. After a one year investigation Kansas special prosecutors place blame for illegal raid on the offices and homes of local newspaper Marion County Record solely on former police chief Cody. This despite complicity of Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), local prosecutor, and judge. Cody is the only criminal in the report, the others are merely idiots and incompetents

    Does contain this quote about Chief Cody from Special Agent Popejoy of the KBI, “He was just a rabid squirrel in a cage …"

  18. CW: Raid on Kansas newspaper: saga continues

    The sheriff in charge during the illegal raid on the Marion County Record has resigned--among other reasons, because bodycam footage shows him riffling through a file showing the paper was investigating allegations of his wrongdoing.

  23. "their confrontation in April marked an escalation in long-running tensions between a group of local #journalists and the officials and community members they cover that would boil over through the summer.

    The small-town intrigue might have stayed in a small town, though, had Cody not... led half a dozen officers on an Aug. 11 raid of the Record’s offices and the home of its editor and publisher"

  25. "Marion County Record's attorney seeking copies made of the paper's computers"

    And the saga continue with more idiocy from the popos. This time they did not return the digital evidence to the newspaper. They are so stupid. The way this was discovered is that there's a line missing between the list of items they seized and the list of item they returned.

    How could anyone think this wouldn't be found?

    Don't they know that when you find yourself into a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging yourself further in????

  26. An investigation by the Kansas City Star found that Marion County Police Chief Gideon Cody, who was behind the highly-criticized raid on the local newspaper, left his previous job at the Kansas City Police Department under scrutiny. Cody faced a demotion and was being investigated for his sexist treatment of a fellow officer.

  27. Marion was warned before hiring chief.
    A source called Cody "the absolute worst commander I ever experienced."
    "His ego would not allow him to listen to what anyone below his rank said … a common characteristic of toxic/ego-centric commanders."
    Cody, he said, displayed intimidating and unprofessional behavior, made inappropriate comments, bullied others, and often was belittling to those under him.
