Charges Dismissed in Funeral Shooting Case
Prosecutors dropped multiple felony gun charges against Dominic Sanders, 25, of Lawrence, in a case tied to gunfire near the funeral of 14-year-old Kamarjay Shaw in April 2023. The dismissal, with prejudice, followed a judge sanctioning the state for withholding key evidence and delaying trial amid an appeal, with the case effectively closed as prosecutorial discretion.

Brady/Giglio dispute ties to Dunkle decertification and DA policy
Defense claims failure to inform about officer Dunkle's decertification violates Brady/Giglio and the Douglas County DA policy enacted in 2022. Panas seeks sanctions, possible plea withdrawal, and other records while the court schedules Welch's sentencing for February 2025. Greenwald defends the office saying no intent to withhold and cites ongoing policy reviews to avoid slips.
