Marion County, Kansas, has said it will return evidence seized in a controversial police raid of a local newspaper after an attorney review.
A police raid on Aug. 11, 2023, on the Marion County Journal in Kansas is prompting a fight over First Amendment rights.A search warrant for the newspaper's offices had been acquired based on a probable cause affidavit alleging that computer crimes had been committed at the location.
A day after the raid, Joan Meyer died, according to her son. He said she was too stressed out by the raid to eat or sleep. "It's a promising first step, but it does nothing to cure the harm caused by the illegal search in the first place and regrettably it does not bring Joan Meyer back," Rhodes said. "Someone has to pay for what occurred. This may stop the hemorrhaging, but it does not address the damages that occurred.
"We will work with the Marion County Record, or their representative, to coordinate the prompt return of all seized items," the KBI said. "Once our investigation concludes we will present findings to the Marion County Attorney for review." Newell could not be reached for comment by ABC News. She told The Associated Press that the Record violated the law to get her personal information about the status of her driving record, which the AP reported includes a 2008 drunken driving conviction.
