Wrongfully convicted Kansas man who spent 23 years in prison sues for $93m

Lamonte McIntyre spent two decades in prison for a double murder he did not commit and says a former detective framed him
A Kansas man who spent 23 years in prison for a double murder he did not commit is seeking $93m in damages from the county where he was convicted and a former detective he says framed him.

Lamonte McIntyre, 45, and his mother allege in a lawsuit filed in 2018 that the unified government of Wyandotte county and Kansas City, Kansas is responsible for the actions of former police detective Roger Golubski and other officers involved in his prosecution.

A federal judge on Thursday set a 7 November trial for the civil case. The unified government wants to have the trial moved to Wichita because of extensive publicity in the Kansas City area, KCUR reported.

McIntyre’s mother is also seeking $30m. She and her son allege Golubski coerced her into sex then framed McIntyre for a double homicide in 1994 because she rejected the detective’s later sexual advances.

They also allege Golubski abused Black women for years and many officers were aware of his conduct. The pre-trial orders includes initials of 73 women.

Golubski denies the allegations and has asked they not be allowed as evidence in the case. If the allegations are admitted, he will argue he was a good officer during his career from 1975 through 2010, when he retired, according to his lawyers’ statement.

McIntyre was freed from prison in 2017 after a prosecutor asked the court to vacate his convictions and drop all charges. In 2020, he was awarded a certificate of innocence and $1.5m from the state.

McIntyre, who now lives in Arizona, has post-traumatic stress disorder and suffered other negative emotional impacts from his imprisonment, according to the lawsuit.

His mother also has been diagnosed with PTSD and has sought psychological treatment for 17 years, the lawsuit says.

The government contends even if the allegations of misconduct are proven it is not liable because the officers’ actions were outside the scope of their employment. It also denies the police chief knew about the alleged misconduct.
