Trial Moves Venue In Cedar Rapids Federal Case
Seven guards guarded the third floor courtroom while two more checked entrants on the first floor in a high security trial setup. Cedar Rapids resident McKinney was robbed and shot dead in the 600 block of Twelfth Avenue SE early July 20. Judge Robinson denied a continuance sought by Walter Braud, who argued he lacked a written statement on McKinney’s duties the night of the murder. The five defendants face a single indictment alleging use of a gun during robbery and killing on duty. The court wrestled with defense demands for duty statements and separate trials for Doolin and Love, while rulings granted prepaid witnesses and witness sequestration. Jury panelists were instructed in court for nearly an hour as Edward J. McManus recused himself due to acquaintance with McKinney.
