The article details allegations that Harding cut out and burned a floorboard after Michael Kinge was shot, with state police and officials denying misconduct. Shirley Kinge cites the action as evidence of a possible premeditated killing, while witnesses describe heated confrontations and conflicting testimonies about the shooting and its aftermath.
State troopers killed Michael Kinge in 1990 and investigator David Harding cut from and burned a floorboard near his body, allegedly to hide improper shooting evidence. Shirley Kinge, convicted in 1990 for hindering prosecution, arson and burglary, was released after Harding admitted faking a fingerprint. Her 1993 lawsuit seeks damages, with plans to present evidence she was at the Harris home. The case may not go to trial for at least a year.
Shirley Kinge recalls a state police investigator David Harding lying on the stand during her Tompkins County trial about aiding her son in the Harris family killings. She blames the justice system for not catching the deception, noting Harding later boasted of planted fingerprints in other cases and is now unreachable for comment. Kinge, 65, lives in Atlanta, fights a lingering lawsuit against the state while rebuilding her life after a 1993 conviction that was overturned in parts.
