Two Men Freed After 15 Years Due to Wrongful Convictions in Kansas City Double Murder Case

Cedric Warren and Dominic Moore were released after a judge ruled their convictions were tainted by prosecutorial misconduct and withheld evidence.

Cedric Warren and Dominic Moore were exonerated after serving 15 years for a 2009 Kansas City, Kansas, double murder they maintained they did not commit.
A judge overturned their convictions due to a Brady violation, citing prosecutors' failure to disclose critical information about the credibility of the state's key witness, Brandon Ford, who had severe mental health issues.
The Wyandotte County District Attorney announced the charges would not be retried, stating the original trials were unfair and justice would not be served by pursuing the cases further.
Evidence presented by defense attorneys highlighted inconsistent witness statements, lack of physical evidence tying Warren to the crime, and a tenuous DNA link to Moore.
The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of past misconduct in the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department, including cases connected to former detective Roger Golubski, who died earlier this month before facing trial for unrelated crimes.
