Settlement Fails In Officer Shooting Case
The family of Carol A. Kerns could not reach a settlement in the wrongful death suit against Officer Randall Vestal and the Kansas City Police Department after a special board meeting produced no action. Vestal, an 18 year veteran, had stopped Kerns for a red light violation on January 12, 1999. A Jackson County grand jury cleared him of wrongdoing in April 1999 and the federal trial is slated for next week.
