The KSHB 41 I-Team has obtained affidavits used to obtain a search warrant to raid the Marion County Record.

The KSHB 41 I-Team obtained three affidavits in relation to the raids on Marion County Record, the newspaper owner’s home and the city vice mayor’s home.

The affidavits, provided by the attorney for the newspaper, lay out what evidence police used to get a judge to sign off on the warrant to search the properties.

    That is undoubtedly why the Marion County Attorney has now withdrawn the search warrants because, to use his own words, ‘insufficient evidence exists to establish a legally sufficient nexus between this alleged crime and the places searched and the items seized.’

    Then why did the county attorney issue the warrant if there wasn’t enough evidence? Sounds like Marion county is corrupt.

      Yeah fuck that, they got caught and now just want to “withdraw” the search warrant that should’ve never been issued?

      Nah we’re gonna need to look into this a bit more. Why was the warrant issued? Who signed off on it? Who was the supervisor in charge when the raid happened? I’m concerned that there’s more corruption and other invalid warrants.

      Dig up all the dirt on these corrupt good ol’boy fucks. I guarantee this isn’t the first time.

      Please see my reply to someone else’s comment below (it’s too long to subject people to twice). The short version is a mess of various people’s greed, fear and corruption.
