Attorney says board acted beyond powers in probe
Mundy says the board overstepped its powers after Hinrichs kept a partially disrobed student tape for sexual reasons. The tape, found in 1992 at Mercy Medical Center, triggered a May 26 hearing and a board ruling based on evidence of possession and viewing the recording. The incident involved marital strain and concerns about alleged student misconduct, with the student later contacted by a board investigator.

Federal forfeiture shifts in civil drug cases spook Independence risks
The new era of federal drug forfeiture law raises questions of proportionality as courts set guidelines after a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. Prosecutors assess years of dealing, drug quantities, and property renovations, while local cases like Gil Brandt’s show the risks of forfeiture without a full court hearing. Brandt’s house, seized in 1991 for alleged drug-related use, highlights potential missteps in claims and hearings under evolving standards.
