issues implicated in the trial and post-conviction proceedings of defendant Mr. Lamonte
McIntyre. For the purpose of preparing this affidavit, I have reviewed the trial record in State
v. McIntyre, Case No. 94CR-1213 (Wyandotte County). I have also reviewed and accepted as
true the facts stated in the affidavits from Niko Quinn, Josephine Quinn, and Gary Long, and in
the stipulation by Patrick M. Lewis in Hooker v. State, Case No. 04CV-2824 (Wyandotte
County) (filed May 22, 2006), and the facts stated in the hearing transcript of May 22, 2006 in
Hooker v. Statenamely that (1) Judge Burdette and ADA Morehead had been involved in a
Exh. 120
romantic relationship from 1990 to January 18, 1991, (2) Judge Burdette and ADA Morehead
concealed their prior relationship from Mr. McIntyre during his trial, (3) ADA Morehead
threatened to bring contempt charges against eyewitness Niko Quinn and to have her children
taken away if she refused to testify against Mr. McIntyre during his trial, (4) ADA Morehead
withheld from the court and from Mr. McIntyre the fact that she had threatened Niko Quinn,
and (5) ADA Morehead suppressed statements from Niko Quinn and Josephine Quinn
informing her that Mr. McIntyre was not the perpetrator of the double homicide of which he
was convicted. On this basis, I have concluded to a reasonable degree of professional certainty
that Judge Burdette and ADA Morehead engaged in multiple ethical violations, and that those
violations substantially prejudiced Mr. McIntyre, and deprived him of his constitutional right
to a fair and impartial trial. Therefore, in order to vindicate Mr. McIntyres fundamental right
to due process, it is my view that this Court must vacate his conviction and set the case for
retrial before an impartial judge in which all other ethical violations are cured.
I. Introduction
students that judges and prosecutors have a special duty to represent the interest of society as a
whole. Ferri v. Ackerman, 444 U.S. 193, 202-03 (1979). Specifically, these actors have legal,
ethical, and professional obligations to uphold defendants constitutional right to a fair trial and
due process of law. See U.S. CONST. amend. XIV ([N]or shall any State deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.); Delaware v. Van Arsdall, 475 U.S.
Exh. 120
Due process guarantees an absence of actual bias on the part of a judge.
In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136 (1955). Bias is easy to attribute to
others and difficult to discern in oneself. To establish an enforceable and
workable framework, the Courts precedents apply an objective standard
that, in the usual case, avoids having to determine whether actual bias is
present. The Court asks not whether a judge harbors an actual, subjective
bias, but instead whether, as an objective matter, the average judge in his
position is likely to be neutral, or whether there is an unconstitutional
potential for bias. Caperton, 556 U.S., at 881.
7. In recognition of the special role that prosecutors and judges play within the
criminal justice system, the American Bar Association (ABA) has promulgated ethical rules
both the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Model Code of Judicial Conduct testify
to a commitment to preserving the quality and integrity of our legal system, and emphasize the
important roles that lawyers and judges play in accomplishing this goal. See MODEL RULES OF
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT Preamble (Am. Bar Assn 2013) (A lawyer is . . . an officer of the
legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice.);
MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Preamble (Am. Bar Assn 2010) ([T]he judiciary plays a
central role in preserving the principles of justice and the rule of law.). Each of these model
codes has been adopted by the state of Kansas. See KANSAS RULES OF PROFESSIONAL
8. In the trial of Lamonte McIntyre, both Judge Burdette and Assistant District
Attorney Morehead violated their ethical duties as agents and arbiters of the criminal justice
system. The numerous instances of ethical misconduct on the part of these actors rendered Mr.
McIntyres trial fundamentally unjust. First, Judge Burdette and ADA Morehead failed to
disclose to the defense the material fact that they had previously been engaged in an intimate
romantic relationship. By neither recusing themselves from the case nor providing the defense
Exh. 120
with critical information that would have compelled a motion for disqualification, Judge
Burdette and ADA Morehead violated their personal duties as officers of the court. More
Mr. McIntyres trial and infected every aspect of these proceedings with implicit bias. As a
result, Mr. McIntyre was denied his constitutional right to a fair trial.
9. Not only was the entire trial marked by tacit partiality, it was also rendered
violation of her ethical duties as a prosecutor, ADA Morehead coerced a key eyewitness into
perjuring herself on the stand and hid an abundance of materially exculpatory evidence from
the defense. There can be no question, in my opinion, that Mr. McIntyre was critically
10. Because Mr. McIntyres conviction resulted from a trial in which both the judge
breaches, I conclude it is incumbent on the Court to remedy the injustices forced upon Mr.
McIntyre by vacating his conviction and granting him a new trial before an impartial and
independent tribunal.
II. Judge Burdette Violated the Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct and
Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution by Violating
His Ethical and Professional Responsibilities as a Judicial Officer

11. In our adversary system, judges wield awesome power. With that power comes
the responsibility to maintain high standards of professional conduct. The American judicial
system is premised upon the principle that an independent, impartial and competent
judiciary . . . will interpret and apply the law that governs our society. MODEL CODE OF
Exh. 120
JUDICIAL CONDUCT Preamble (Am. Bar Assn 2010). Preserving fair and impartial courts is so
fundamental to our system of justice that it is considered a basic requirement of Due Process
under the Fourteenth Amendment,1 is codified in 28 U.S.C. 455 (governing federal judges),
and is enshrined in the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct (Model Code).
12. The right to an impartial judge is essential to our justice system because a
and outcome of a trial. Raymond McKoski, Disqualifying Judges When Their Impartiality
Might Reasonably Be Questioned, 56 ARIZ. L. REV. 411, 432 (2014). In order to preserve the
standard of fairness and independence, judges are obliged to avoid conflicts of interest that
between a judge and the prosecutor trying a case before him presents a flagrant conflict of
interest necessitating recusal. Judge Burdettes failure to disqualify himself in the criminal
prosecution of Mr. McIntyre or to disclose to the defendant the nature of his previous romantic
necessitate the vacating of Mr. McIntyres conviction and setting his case for retrial before a
neutral judge.
13. The ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct prescribes ways in which judges
must conduct themselves and establishes standards for maintaining and enhancing public
confidence in state court judges. MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Preamble (Am. Bar
Assn 2010). Through a series of revisions, the ABA has fulfilled this objective by converting

the Codes dictates from hortatory guidance into enforceable rules of judicial conduct,2 and by
requiring disqualification of a judge any time his participation in a matter creates even the
appearance of partiality.3 Kansass adoption of the most recent version of the Code reflects
the states commitment to championing the precepts that judges, individually and collectively,
must respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to maintain and enhance
confidence in the legal system. KANSAS CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Preamble (2009).
14. Canon 1 prescribes that [a] judge shall uphold and promote the independence,
integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of
impropriety. KANSAS CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Canon 1 (2009). The Canon distinguishes
from the appearance of impropriety, which is gauged by the objective standard of whether
the conduct would create in reasonable minds a perception that the judge violated this Code or
engaged in other conduct that reflects adversely on the judges honesty, impartiality,
temperament, or fitness to serve as a judge. Id. r. 1.2 cmt. 5. By prohibiting even the

The 1990 version of the Model Code strengthened the Canons by substituting shall for
should in order to eliminate any lingering doubt concerning the mandatory nature of the
prohibition. Raymond J. McKoski, Judicial Discipline and the Appearance of Impropriety:
What the Public Sees Is What the Judge Gets, 94 MINN. L. REV. 1914, 1931 (2010); see also
MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Preamble (Am. Bar Assn 1990) (When the text uses
shall or shall not, it is intended to impose binding obligations, the violation of which can
result in disciplinary action. When should or should not is used, the text is intended as
hortatory and as a statement of what is or is not appropriate conduct but not as a binding rule
under which a judge may be disciplined.)

The 1972 version of the Model Code, for the first time, commanded that a judge disqualify
himself in a proceeding in which [the judges] impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Canon 3C(1)(a)-(d) (Am. Bar Assn 1972). This
requirement is now set forth verbatim in Rule 2.11 of the current edition of the Model Code.
MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Rule 2.11 (Am. Bar Assn 2010).
Exh. 120
recognizes that judicial impartiality is crucial not only to protecting litigants Due Process
rights, but also to maintaining public confidence in the justice system. See KANSAS CODE OF
JUDICIAL CONDUCT r. 1.2 cmt. 3 (2009). Indeed, deference to the judgments and rulings of
courts depends on public confidence in the judiciary; see Joe G. Riley, Ethical Obligations of
Judges, 23 MEM. ST. U. L. REV. 507, 509 (1993), and the public cannot maintain trust in judges
if it does not believe them to be models of independence, integrity, and impartiality. See
Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 407 (1994) (The legitimacy of the Judicial Branch
15. Canon 2 of the Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct provides that [a] judge shall
perform the duties of judicial office impartially, competently, and diligently. KANSAS CODE
OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Canon 2 (2009). Rules 2.2-2.4 and the accompanying Comments offer
more precise guidance about how judges ought to manage their conduct in order to comply
with this broad directive. See id. r. 2.2 (mandating that judges uphold and apply the law and
perform all duties of judicial office fairly and impartially); id. r. 2.3 (requiring judges to
perform the duties of judicial office . . . without bias or prejudice); id. r. 2.4 (prohibiting
judges from permit[ting] family, social, political, financial, or other interests or relationships
to influence the judges judicial conduct or judgment). The Code makes clear that avoiding
bias and prejudiceand the appearance thereofis essential because [a]n independent
judiciary requires that judges decide cases according to the law and facts, without regard to
whether particular laws or litigants are popular or unpopular with the public, the media,
government officials, or the judges friends or family. Confidence in the judiciary is eroded if
2.4 cmt. 1. Accordingly, Rule 2.11 requires a judge to disqualify himself or herself in any
Exh. 120
proceeding in which the judges impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not
limited to [circumstances in which] . . . [t]he judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning
a party or a partys lawyer, or personal knowledge of facts that are in dispute in the
proceeding. Id. r. 2.11(A)(1) (emphasis added). Importantly, the mandate to recuse wherever
the judges impartiality might reasonably be questioned applies both where the judge is
susceptible to engaging in actual impropriety and where there would merely be an appearance
thereof. This command is consistent with the Kansas statute concerning judicial
disqualification, KAN. STAT. ANN. 20-311d (West 2014), which specifies that personal bias,
prejudice, or interest on the part of the judge are grounds for disqualification.
16. Finally, Canon 3 of the Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct applies the principles
underlying Canons 1 and 2 to a judges extrajudicial activities, providing that [a] judge shall
conduct the judges personal and extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflict with
the obligations of judicial office. KANSAS CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Canon 3 (2009).
While [a] judge may engage in extrajudicial activities, except as prohibited by law or [the]
Code[,] . . . when engaging in extrajudicial activities, a judge shall not: (A) participate in
activities that will interfere with the proper performance of the judges judicial duties;
(B) participate in activities that will lead to frequent disqualification of the judge;
(C) participate in activities that would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judges
independence, integrity, or impartiality; or demean the judicial office; or (D) engage in conduct
17. Judge Burdette violated each of the first three Canons of the Kansas Code of
Judicial Conduct by failing to recuse himself and presiding over Mr. McIntyres trial without
disclosing his previous romantic relationship with the prosecutor in the case, Terra Morehead.
Exh. 120
I conclude that Judge Burdettes conduct was improper, appeared improper, and undermined
18. There is a very strong argument that Judge Burdette engaged in actual
improprietyin violation of Canons 1 and 2, and Rules 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4by allowing his
relationship with Ms. Morehead to influence [his] judicial conduct or judgment. KANSAS
CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT r. 2.4(B) (2009) (A judge shall not permit family, social,
political, financial, or other interests or relationships to influence the judges judicial conduct
or judgment.); id. r. 2.2 cmt. 1 (To ensure impartiality and fairness to all parties, a judge
must be objective and open-minded.); id. r. 2.3(A) (A judge shall perform the duties of

where the judge has been intimately involved with counsel for a partyin this case, the

19. In Williams v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court addressed directly its view of
the effect that the passage of time has on a serious conflict. In Williams, the Respondent
argued that Justice Castilles role, as District Attorney in Mr. Williams prosecution, took place
Even if decades intervene before the former prosecutor revisits the matter
as a jurist, the case may implicate the effects and continuing force of his or
her original decision. In these circumstances, there remains a serious risk
that a judge would be influenced by an improper, if inadvertent, motive to
validate and preserve the result obtained through the adversary process. The
involvement of multiple actors and the passage of time do not relieve the
former prosecutor of the duty to withdraw in order to ensure the neutrality
of the judicial process in determining the consequences that his or her own
earlier, critical decision may have set in motion.
10
Exh. 120
20. It is highly likely that, because Judge Burdette was unable to remain objective
and open-minded, Mr. McIntyres trial and post-conviction proceedings were infected by
bias and prejudice. The Kansas Supreme Court was correct when it explained in State v.
Foy, 227 Kan. 405, 411, 607 P.2d 481, 487 (1980), [t]he rule generally followed throughout
the United States is that the words bias and prejudice, as used in connection with the
disqualification of a judge, refer to the mental attitude or disposition of the judge toward a
party to the litigation . . . . Bias and prejudice mean a hostile feeling or spirit of ill will against
one of the litigants, or undue friendship or favoritism toward one. Because a judges sexual
relationship with the prosecutor appearing before himeven if that relationship is no longer
ongoing4is highly likely to predispose the judge to experience feelings of undue friendship
or favoritism (orif the relationship ended on a negative notehostile feeling or spirit of ill
will)toward his former paramour, it falls squarely within the category of bias prohibited by
the Code. It is impossible to believe that Judge Burdettes favoritism toward Ms. Morehead
did not influence the numerous rulings Judge Burdette made that were adverse to Mr.
McIntyre, both during his trial and during the post-conviction proceedings, even in ways Judge
4
Courts have recognized that the bias generated by a romantic relationship is capable of
lingering beyond the culmination of that relationship. For instance, in In re Bogutz & Gordon
PC v. Carondolet Health Network, No. C2001-0922, 2002 WL 33966260 (Ariz. Super. Dec. 16,
2002) (Trial Order), the court granted a plaintiffs motion for new trial where the trial judge had
engaged in a brief intimate relationship with defense counsel, even though the relationship had
terminated twenty years prior to the initial trial. The court noted that while it may be an
attenuating factor, the passage of time is not dispositive in gauging the potential for bias or
prejudice. In the present matter, far less time had elapsed between the culmination of the
relationship and the trial at issue; the relationship between Judge Burdette and Ms. Morehead
had terminated only 3-4 years prior to Mr. McIntyres trial. See Stipulation 1-5, Hooker v.
State, Case No. 04CV-2824 (Wyandotte County) (filed May 22, 2006); see also Hooker v. State,
172 P.3d 1222 (Kan. Ct. App. 2007).
11
Exh. 120
Burdette could not recognize. See, e.g., McIntyre v. State, Case No. 97C329, Hearing Tr. at 15
(Jan. 16, 1998) (denying Mr. McIntyres K.S.A. 60-1507 motion); State v. McIntyre, No.
94CR1213, Hearing Tr. at 44-47 (April 4, 1996) (denying Mr. McIntyres motion for a new
trial).
21. A fortiori, Judge Burdettes conduct most certainly created the appearance of
impropriety and partiality, in violation of Canon 1 and Rule 1.2 of the Kansas Code of Judicial
Conduct. By engaging in sexual relations with a prosecutor who would appear before him in
court, Judge Burdette necessarily destroyed public confidence in his ability to decide any
case litigated by Ms. Morehead without succumbing to improper outside influence. KANSAS
CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT r. 1.2 (2009). Any reasonable observer would readily conclude
that Judge Burdette was incapable of presiding over Mr. McIntyres trial in an impartial
manner. See id. cmt. 5. Regardless of Judge Burdettes subjective state of mind or even
assuming no actual bias, his romantic involvement with Ms. Morehead, coupled with his
failure to disclose this material fact, would certainly create in reasonable minds a perception
that Judge Burdette may have engaged in conduct that reflects adversely on [his] honesty,
CONDUCT r. 1.2 cmt. 5 (2009); see also In re Adams, 932 So.2d 1025, 1027 (Fla. 2006) (Even
in the absence of evidence that a romantic relationship with an attorney practicing in a judges
court has influenced the judges judgment, the judges authority necessarily suffers [because] .
. . the judge necessarily depletes the single most important source of his or her authoritythe
perception of the legal community and public that the judge is absolutely impartial in deciding
cases.).
12
Exh. 120
22. While the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary are
jeopardized whenever a judge engages in a romantic relationship with any party who appears
before him, this is especially troubling in my view where, as in this case, the judges paramour
judges and prosecutors, the institutional structure of the criminal justice system fosters
relationships of cooperation and collaboration between judge and prosecutor that may interfere
with a judges ability to remain completely impartial. See Roberta K. Flowers, An Unholy
Alliance: The Ex Parte Relationship Between the Judge and the Prosecutor, 79 NEB. L. REV.
251 (2000) (noting that the constant contact and cooperation between prosecutors and trial
judges causes the relationship to take on characteristics that are different from the relationship
between the judge and other lawyers, and that [t]he creation of this interdependent
relationship may produce a team spirit between the court and prosecutor, which is counter to
the fundamental philosophy of the adversary system). Accordingly, prosecutors and judges
have a professional duty to be especially cautious in their interactions with one another, so as
23. Because Judge Burdettes relationship with Ms. Morehead undoubtedly created,
at the very least, an appearance of partiality and biasif not partiality and bias themselvesit
was incumbent on the judge to disclose his relationship to the parties and recuse himself from
Mr. McIntyres case. See KANSAS CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT r. 2.11(A) (2009) (requiring
questioned); KAN. STAT. ANN. 20-311d(c)(5) (West 2014) (requiring a change of judge
13
Exh. 120
whenever there is cause to believe that on account of the personal bias, prejudice or interest of
the judge [a] party cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial or fair and impartial enforcement of
post-judgment remedies). Rule 2.11 provides that a judge must disqualify himself when he
has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a partys lawyer. KANSAS CODE OF
JUDICIAL CONDUCT r. 2.11(A)(1) (2009). Moreover, recusal is specifically required when the
judges spouse or domestic partner, or a person within the third degree of relationship to either
of them, or the spouse of such a person is: (1) a party to the proceeding . . . ; (b) acting as a
lawyer in the proceeding; (c) a person who has more than a de minimis interest that could be
proceeding. Id. r. 2.11(A)(2). Importantly, the list of instances provided in the Rule when
recusal is mandatory is not exclusive, and the rationale for requiring recusal in cases involving
family members also applies when [an intimate sexual] relationship [is implicated] because,
NMSC-019, 149 N.M. 721, 726, 255 P.3d 299, 304; see also Commonwealth v. Croken, 733

Morehead, it certainly would have moved for Judge Burdettes disqualification, pursuant to
KAN. STAT. ANN. 20-311d (a). However, the failure on the part of both Judge Burdette and
Ms. Morehead to disclose their intimate relationship deprived Mr. McIntyres counsel of this
information to which they were entitled, denying them an important opportunity. Judge

Exh. 120
Burdettes abdication of his legal and ethical duties to disqualify himself from Mr. McIntyres
case constitutes a violation of Canons 1 and 2 of the Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct.
25. Finally, Judge Burdette violated Canon 3 of the Kansas Code of Judicial
Moreheadthat would amplify, rather than minimize, the risk of conflict with the obligations
of judicial office. KANSAS CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Canon 3 (2009). Judge Burdette
must have known that engaging in a sexual relationship with a prosecutor within his judicial
district would likely subject him to numerous occasions in which he would be legally and
ethically obligated to recuse himself from judicial matters before him, in violation of Rule
3.1(B).5 Id. r. 3.1(B) (prohibiting a judge from participat[ing] in activity that will lead to

By placing himself in this no-win situation, Judge Burdette acted in direct contravention of

Indeed, Mr. McIntyres case was not the first matter prosecuted by Ms. Morehead over which
Judge Burdette presided following the commencement of their romantic relationship in 1990.
See Hooker v. State, 172 P.3d 1222 (Kan. Ct. App. 2007) (a criminal defendant challenged his
conviction on the ground that Judge Burdette, who had presided over his trial, was biased
because of an earlier relationship with Ms. Morehead, who was the prosecuting attorney in that
case).
15
Exh. 120
26. Unsurprisingly, courts across jurisdictions have uniformly endorsed my view
that it is intolerable for judges to carry out romantic affairs with lawyers appearing before them
or other courtroom personnel.6 There are many judicial decisions recognizing that an intimate
sexual relationship between a judge and lawyer over whose case the judge presides
particularly a prosecutornot only threatens to bias the outcome of a particular matter, but
also inherently undermines the apparent integrity of the proceedings and the judicial system at
of proof of actual partialitythat is dispositive in such matters. See In re Gerard, 631 N.W.2d
271, 278 (Iowa 2001) (noting that the key concern is the appearance of impropriety and
emphasizing the corrosive impact that the judges affair had upon criminal trials prosecuted by
his paramour before him); see also People v. Biddle 180 P.3d 461, 463 (Colo. 2007). There is
no question that Judge Burdettes flagrant abandonment of his ethical duties threatens to
damage the publics confidence in both the fairness of Mr. McIntyres trial and the rule of law
6
See, e.g., People v. Biddle, 180 P.3d 461 (Colo. 2007) (three-year suspension for judge who
engaged in, and later attempted to dispel unconfirmed rumors of, an affair with a deputy district
attorney who appeared before him in court); In re Adams, 932 So.2d 1025 (Fla. 2006) (public
reprimand for a judge for entering into a romantic relationship with lawyer who practiced before
him); In the Matter of Cash, 630 S.E.2d 283 (S.C. 2006) (judge removed from office after he
violated Canons 1 and 2 by engaging in intimate relationships with two court employees); In re
Gerard, 631 N.W.2d 271 (Iowa 2001) (sixty-day suspension without judicial pay for judge who

more generally. For these important reasons, I urge this Court to rectify this grave harm by
vacating Mr. McIntyres conviction and granting him the one fair trial to which he is entitled.
27. The United States Supreme Court has made clear what I have regularly taught,
that there are circumstances in which experience teaches that the probability of actual bias on
the part of the judge or decisionmaker is too high to be constitutionally tolerable. See
Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co. Inc., 556 U.S. 868, 868 (2009) (quoting Winthrow v. Larkin,
421 U.S. 35, 47 (1975)). In such instances, a judges failure to recuse himself from the case so
offends the requirements of due process that it invalidates the outcome of the proceedings. Id.
at 2259 (A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process.); Concrete Pipe
& Prods. v. Constr. Laborers Pension Trust, 508 U.S. 602, 617 (1993) ([D]ue process
requires a neutral and detached judge in the first instance.). The Supreme Court established
the importance of this remedy in Tumey v. Ohio, 287 U.S. 510 (1927), when it ruled that a
judges pecuniary interest in the outcome of a criminal case constituted a due process violation.
Importantly, the Court held that evidence that the judges bias had actually affected his
decision making was unnecessary for reversal because a criminal defendants right to an
impartial judge is without qualification. Id. at 535; see also Sullivan v. Louisiana, 508 U.S.
275, 279 (1993) (noting that a trial by a biased judge will always invalidate [a defendants]
conviction and is not amenable to harmless-error analysis) (citing Tumey, 273 U.S. 510).

extended Tumey by applying the objective standard to financial influence, as opposed to direct
17
Exh. 120
financial interest, on the part of the judge. 556 U.S. at 885-87. Citing Tumey, the Court noted
that [e]very procedure which would offer a possible temptation to the average man as a judge
to forget the burden of proof required to convict the defendant, or which might lead him not to
hold the balance nice, clear and true between the State and the accused, denies the latter due
process of law. Id. at 868. I believe that the influence generated by a personal relationship
relationship, and, therefore, poses a substantial threat of tipping the balance towards
from public reprimand, see In re Adams, 932 So.2d 1025, 1028 (Fla. 2006), to suspension, see
Biddle, 180 P.3d at 463, to removal from judicial office, see In the Matter of Cash, 630 S.E.2d
283 (S.C. 2006). Judicial misconduct stemming from an improper relationship with a
prosecutor warrants the reversal of a defendants conviction and remand for retrial before an
impartial judge. See State v. Hayden, 281 Kan. 112, 124, 130 P.3d 24, 34 (2006) (remanding
for retrial because judicial misconduct denied the defendant of his right to a fair trial and
noting that while our federal and state constitutions do not entitle a criminal defendant to a
perfect trial, . . . they do entitle him or her to a fair one . . . even when that defendant stands
accused of unspeakably horrendous crimes); State v. Miller, 274 Kan. 113, 128, 49 P.3d 458,
467 (2002) (reversing the defendants conviction and remanding for retrial before a different
judge because the presiding judges misconduct deprived the defendant of a fair trial); The
Florida Bar v. Gardiner, No. SC11-2311, 2014 WL 2516419, at *4 (Fla. June 5, 2014) (noting
that a retrial was required where a judges romantic relationship with the prosecutor in a
criminal matter tainted the proceeding to such an extent that the defendants death sentence
could not stand). The Kansas Supreme Court, in reflection of the foregoing, has emphasized
18
Exh. 120
that judicial misconduct constitutes a structural error, which is reviewable on appeal despite a
lack of a contemporaneous objection. State v. Miller, 274 Kan. 113, 118, 49 P.3d 458, 462
(2002).
evinces partiality more than sufficient to invalidate Mr. McIntyres conviction on due process
grounds. In this mattereven beyond the dictate of the Code of Judicial Conduct to uphold
and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciarythe requirement of
fundamental fairness and due process demanded that Judge Burdette disqualify himself from
presiding over Mr. McIntyres trial orat the very leastdisclose the relationship to the
defense. The reviewing court need not delve into the details of the record to determine whether
the relationship between Judge Burdette and Ms. Morehead actually affected the outcome of
the case (although doing so very well might reveal that this was so). Rather, under Supreme
Court precedent, the court need only find either a potential for actual bias, Caperton, 556
U.S. at 881, or the appearance of bias. Commonwealth Coatings Corp. v. Continental Co.,
393 U.S. 145, 150 (1968). Because I conclude that the presence of both is undeniable, I
importune this court to remedy the injustice that marred Mr. McIntyres trial by vacating his
conviction and setting the case for retrial before an unbiased judge.
30. One of the most venerated and enduring principles underpinning our criminal
justice system is that the prosecutors interest . . . in a criminal prosecution is not that [she]
shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 88
(1935). The Supreme Court has long recognized that a prosecutor serves not only as an
19
Exh. 120
advocate for an ordinary party but also play[s] a special role . . . in the search for truth in
criminal trials. Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 263, 281 (1999). She has as much a duty to
refrain from improper methods calculated to produce wrongful conviction as . . . [she does] to
use every legitimate means to bring about a just one. Berger, 295 U.S. at 88.
31. Based on this fundamental principal, the ABA Model Rules of Professional
Conduct, as adopted by the Kansas Supreme Court, establish special ethical standards that
govern the conduct of prosecutors. See, e.g., MODEL RULE PROFL CONDUCT r. 3.8 (2013).
These rules were promulgated under the rationale that a prosecutor has the responsibility of a
minister of justice and not simply that of an advocate. Id. cmt. 1. Prosecutors therefore have
specific obligations to see that the defendant is accorded procedural justice and that guilt is
32. The unethical nature of Lamonte McIntyres trial actually extends even beyond
the unfair bias stemming from the improper relationship between Judge Burdette and ADA
Terra Morehead. The injustice of the proceedings was compounded by ADA Moreheads
commission of a series of reprehensible acts that blatantly breached her ethical duties both as
prosecutor and as an advocate before the court. ADA Morehead concealed from the defendant
her prior relationship with Judge Burdette and the resulting conflicts of interest that afflicted
both her and the judge. She illegally tampered with witnesses, and she withheld materially
exculpatory information. These violations of ADA Moreheads ethical duties eliminated any
these requirements, this Court should grant Mr. McIntyre relief from a conviction that was
deeply unjust.

Exh. 120
A. ADA Moreheads Failure to Disclose Her Prior Romantic Relationship with Judge
Burdette Constituted an Undeniable Conflict of Interest and Required Disclosure to
both the Court and Defense Counsel
33. Under Rules 1.7 and 8.4 of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, ADA
Morehead had an ethical obligation to disclose her previous romantic relationship with Judge
Burdette. Rule 1.7 requires lawyers to identify and disclose conflicts of interest. KANSAS
RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT r. 1.7 (2007). A conflict arises when a lawyer faces interests and
responsibilities that would materially limit his or her capacity to represent a client. See
KANSAS RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT r. 1.7(a)1-2 (emphasis added) (2007); see also id. cmt. 8
([A] conflict of interest exists if there is a significant risk that a lawyers ability to consider,
recommend, or carry out an appropriate course of action for the client will be materially
limited as a result of the lawyers other responsibilities or interests.). The Rule, as correctly
interpreted by courts, is an objective one and does not depend on a lawyers subjective belief
about his ability to remain impartial. See In re O'Brien, 26 A.3d 203, 209 (Del. 2011); Matter
of Anonymous Member of S. Carolina Bar, 432 S.E.2d 467, 468 (S.C. 1993) (describing the

in a miscarriage of justice that violates the defendants right to a fair and impartial tribunal.
See In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136 (1955) (A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic
requirement of due process.). Our adversarial process is grounded upon the basic notion that
both the prosecution and the defense are litigating before a neutral decision-maker. See
21
Exh. 120
Roberta K. Flowers, supra 19, at 261 (The adversary process assumes that both sides will
present their case to a neutral, passive tribunal.); see also Anne Bowen Poulin, Conflicts of
Interest in Criminal Cases: Should the Prosecution Have A Duty to Disclose?, 47 AM. CRIM. L.
REV. 1135, 1136 (2010) (For our criminal justice system to function properly both the
prosecution and defense must be free to provide robust representation uninhibited by conflicts
of interest.).
35. Courts have routinely urged prosecutors to disclose conflicts of interest. See
United States v. Migliaccio, 34 F.3d 1517, 1528 (10th Cir. 1994) (Where the government is
aware of a conflict of interest, it has a duty to bring it to the courts attention.); United States
v. Tatum, 943 F.2d 370, 380 (4th Cir. 1991) (When a conflict situation becomes apparent to
the government, the government has a duty to bring the issue to the courts attention.); United
States v. Cruz, 982 F. Supp. 946, 950 (S.D.N.Y. 1997) (The Government has an obligation to
officer of the court and her attendant obligation to seek justice. See KANSAS RULES OF PROFL
CONDUCT r. 3.8 cmt. 1 (2007) (A prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice and
not simply that of an advocate.); see also ABA PROSECUTION FUNCTION STANDARD 3-1.2(b)
(1993) (The prosecutor is an administrator of justice, an advocate, and an officer of the court;
the prosecutor must exercise sound discretion in the performance of his or her functions.).
Importantly, the duty arises whenever the prosecutors personal interest or that of another
conflicts with those of . . . [her] clientoften considered to be the public. See Susan W.
Brenner & James Geoffrey Durham, Towards Resolving Prosecutor Conflicts of Interest, 6
GEO. J. LEGAL ETHICS 415, 417-18 (1993) (noting that prosecutors can have what are called
22
Exh. 120
system conflicts, conflicts of interest inherent in their distinct responsibilities, such as the
justice); ABA STANDARDS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE 3-1.3 cmt. (3d ed. 1993) (A prosecutors
client is the people who live in the prosecutors jurisdiction. Since all lawyers have a fiduciary
duty to their clients, the professional judgment of the prosecutor must be exercised, within the
bounds of the law, solely for the benefit of the clientthe peoplefree of any compromising
influences or loyalties.).
37. The prosecutors duty to disclose conflicts of interest is also critical in light of
the extraordinary resources and powers that she possesses. Prosecutors command out-sized
beyond those of the private attorney. See Robert H. Jackson, The Federal Prosecutor, 31 AM.
INST. CRIM. L. & CRIMINOLOGY 3, 3 (1940-1941) (A prosecutor can order arrests, present
cases to the grand jury in secret session, and on the basis of his one-sided presentation of the
facts, can cause the citizen to be indicted and held for trial.). These powers carry immense
consequences and require that the prosecutor maintain an air of impartiality and restraint.
People v. Vasquez, 137 P.3d 199 (Cal. 2006) (quoting People v. Superior Court (Greer), 561
P.2d 1164, 1172 (1977)) ([I]t is precisely because the prosecutor enjoys such broad discretion
that the public he serves and those he accuses may justifiably demand that he perform his
38. ADA Terra Morehead violated one of her most essential ethical duties when she
failed to disclose her past romantic relationship with Judge Burdette. A romantic relationship
interest. As explained in Part II, supra, Judge Burdette had an unequivocal duty to, at the very
23
Exh. 120
least, disclose this conflict of interest to the defense. But the burden of disclosure extended
equally and independently to ADA Morehead, who likewise had a clear conflict of interest
stemming from her unique role as a representative of the sovereign and of the public interest.
See, e.g., Berger v. United States, 295 U.S. 78, 88 (1935) (The United States Attorney is the
Castro-Gaxiola, 60 F. Appx 96, 97 (9th Cir. 2003) (quoting Com. of Northern Mariana
Islands v. Bowie, 236 F.3d 1083, 1089 (9th Cir. 2001)) (The prosecuting attorney represents a
sovereign whose obligation is to govern impartially and whose interest in a particular case is
not necessarily to win, but to do justice. It is the sworn duty of the prosecutor to assure that the
defendant has a fair and impartial trial.). As an advocate for the public, ADA Morehead had
an affirmative duty to disclose her conflict of interest in order to safeguard the actual and
apparent fairness of the judicial proceedings and maintain the publics confidence in the
39. ADA Morehead breached this duty when she allowed herself to prosecute Mr.
McIntyre without disclosing her conflict of interest. Her prior romantic relationship with
Judge Burdette unquestionably eviscerated the public appearance of fairness that she had an
obligation to uphold. As discussed in Part II, supra, the romantic relationship created, at the
very least, an appearance of impropriety, if not impropriety itself, thereby calling into question
the fairness of the entire proceedings. As a result, ADA Morehead surely should have
disclosed her prior relationship with Judge Burdette. In failing to do so, she exposed herself to
24
Exh. 120
40. Not only should ADA Morehead have disclosed this conflict, she was also
ethically obliged to withdraw from the case altogether. Under Rule 1.16, lawyers must
withdraw if representation will result in [a] violation of the rules of professional conduct or
other law. KANSAS RULES PROFL CONDUCT r. 1.16(a)(1) (2007). The fact that ADA
Morehead chose not to withdraw made it all the more essential for her to disclose her conflict
so that the defense could have an opportunity to move for her recusal or that of Judge Burdette.
ADA Moreheads failure to either disclose this information or to withdraw from the case
41. In addition to violating Rule 1.7, ADA Moreheads failure to disclose her
romantic relationship to the court and opposing counsel also violated Rule 8.4 of the Kansas
Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 8.4(d) prohibits conduct that is prejudicial to the
administration of justice. KANSAS RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT r. 8.4(d) (2007). Because Ms.
Moreheads suppression of her relationship with Judge Burdette compromised the fairness of
the proceedings, she no doubt contributed to the prejudicing of the administration of justice in
Mr. McIntyres case. Moreover, Rule 8.4(f) specifically prohibits knowingly assist[ing] a
judge or judicial officer in conduct that is a violation of applicable rules of judicial conduct or
other law. Id. r. 8.4(f). By concealing the relationship, ADA Morehead assisted Judge
Burdette in violating his own ethical obligations to avoid impropriety and its appearance
thereof. Courts routinely condemn romantic relationships with judges and the prosecutors that
appear before them, see Part II, supra, and they have grown increasingly zealous in their
e.g., In re Dean, 129 P.3d 943 (Ariz. 2006) (en banc) (agreeing with the Disciplinary
Committee that the sanction of the prosecutor for failing to disclose and lying about romantic
25
Exh. 120
relationship with presiding judge was justified). ADA Morehead knew or should have known
that the judges failure to disclose the relationship or withdraw from the case constituted a
violation of the Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct. That she aided him in committing this
ethical breach is thus in clear violation of her own duties under Rule 8.4(f).
42. In addition to concealing a relationship that infused Mr. McIntyres entire trial
with implicit bias, ADA Morehead also engaged in overt acts of misconduct at various stages
of the proceedings. Perhaps the most egregious instance of this misbehavior was coercion of a
key witness into giving false testimony before the court. ADA Moreheads conduct violated
state statutory law regarding the intimidation of witnesses and the subornation of perjury, the
federal due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Rules 3.3, 3.4 and 8.4 of the
43. Mr. McIntyres conviction hinged almost entirely on the statements of two
eyewitnesses. One of the eyewitnesses, Niko Quinn, had originally identified Lamonte
McIntyre as the shooter in a photo array, but upon seeing Mr. McIntyre in person realized that
he absolutely could not be the shooter. Niko Quinn Aff. 21, June 30, 2014. In her affidavit,
Niko Quinn explains that Mr. McIntyre did not possess many of the physical characteristics of
the shooter, specifically referring to Mr. McIntyres ears and height. Id. She subsequently
approached ADA Morehead with this information and twice notified her, prior to testifying,
that Mr. McIntyre was not the shooter she had seen. Id. Nonetheless, at trial, Niko Quinn
testified against Mr. McIntyre, falsely identifying him as the shooter. Niko Quinn avers that
she perjured herself at trial because Detective Golubski had pressured her and because ADA
26
Exh. 120
Morehead had threatened her with powerful sanctions if she refused. Niko Quinn Aff. 20-
22. Specifically, when Ms. Quinn informed ADA Morehead that Mr. McIntyre was not the
shooter, ADA Morehead warned her that she could be held in contempt and go to jail and
have her children taken away from her if she did not testify against Mr. McIntyre. Id. Under
these threats, Niko Quinn states that she allowed ADA Morehead to lead her through her
prosecutorial misconduct. First, Kansas courts have repeatedly held that prosecutorial
constitutional right to a fair trial. For example, in State v. Finley a defendant charged with
felony murder and manufacture of methamphetamine arising out of a house fire alleged that the
prosecution had prevented his girlfriend from testifying by threatening her with charges of
felony murder if she testified on his behalf. State v. Finley, 998 P.2d 95, 101 (Kan. 2000). The
court held the prosecutions acts were not harmless because the witnesss testimony was so
crucial to the defense that it could have exonerated the defendant had it been introduced to the
jury. Id. at 104. While there are factual differences between Finley and Mr. McIntyres case
namely that Finley involved the complete prevention of testimony by a key defense witness
the courts holding that intimidation of a witness to preclude exculpatory testimony amounts to
prosecutorial misconduct clearly applies to the present case. As in Finley, ADA Morehead
threatened a witness into concealing from the court materially exculpatory evidence regarding
the defendant. But her conduct was arguably even more egregious than that of the prosecutor
in Finley, for while the Finley prosecutor dissuaded a witness from testifying, ADA Morehead
actually coerced the witness into falsely testifying on a key issue so as to directly mislead the
27
Exh. 120
jury. Kansas courts have rightly recognized that where, as in this case, prosecutors commit
misconduct that amounts to a denial of a defendants Due Process rights, the conviction must
be reversed. See State v. Sperry, 978 P.2d 933, 948 (Kan. 1999). Thus, because ADA
Morehead aided a witness in perjuring herself on the stand, Mr. McIntyres conviction should
under the Fourteenth Amendment. U.S. Const. amend. XIV, 1 (nor shall any state deprive
any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law). The due process clause
ensures that criminal defendants are subject to fundamentally fair procedures. As it is patently
unfair for a prosecutor to knowingly and intentionally present perjured testimony to a jury,
ADA Moreheads misconduct violated Mr. McIntyres constitutional right to a fair trial. In
United States v. LaPage, the Ninth Circuit held that a prosecutors knowing use of perjured
testimony violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and did not qualify as
harmless error. United States v. LaPage, 231 F.3d 488, 491 (9th Cir. 2000). The court spoke
strongly against prosecutorial subornation of perjury, stating that [a]ll perjury pollutes a trial,
making it hard for jurors to see the truth; no lawyer, prosecutor, or defense counsel, civil or
criminal, may knowingly present lies to a jury and then sit idly by while opposing counsel
struggles to contain this pollution of the trial, and that prosecutors have a special duty to
refrain from improper methods calculated to produce wrongful conviction. Id. at 492.
46. ADA Moreheads subornation of perjury provides solid ground for the Court to
grant Mr. McIntyre a retrial. In Napue v. Illinois, the Supreme Court held that a conviction
obtained through the use of false evidence, known to be such by representatives of the State,
must fall under the Fourteenth Amendment. Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 269 (1959).
28
Exh. 120
Similarly, in LaPage, the Ninth Circuit held that, [b]ecause use of known lies to obtain
conviction violates due process of law, such a conviction must be reversed unless false
testimony was harmless beyond reasonable doubt; conviction must be reversed if there is any
reasonable likelihood that false testimony could have affected the judgment of the jury.
LaPage, 231 F.3d at 489. Given that the State built its case on the two eyewitness accounts,
there is no possibility that the subornation of Niko Quinns perjury can be found harmless;
rather, there is a substantial likelihood that the perjured testimony affected the judgment of the
jury to the detriment of Mr. McIntyre. Accordingly, I urge the Court to find that, under the
Fourteenth Amendment, Mr. McIntyres conviction must fall. Napue, 360 U.S. at 269.
law. By threatening Niko Quinn, ADA Morehead directly influenced Niko Quinn to perjure
herself, in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. 1622 (1994), which provides that [w]hoever procures
another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this
title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. By suborning perjury, ADA Morehead
also violated Rule 8.4(b) by perpetrating a crime that reflects adversely on her honesty and
48. That ADA Moreheads acts of coercion rendered Mr. McIntyres trial
fundamentally unjust is highlighted by the fact that, in acting so, ADA Morehead breached her
ethical duties under the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, which were designed
specifically to protect the integrity of trial proceedings. Rule 3.4(b) states that a lawyer shall
not falsify evidence, counsel, or assist a witness to testify falsely, or offer an inducement to a
witness that is prohibited by law. KANSAS RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT r. 3.4(b) (2007). The
purpose of this Rule is to ensure that the fairness of the adversarial process is not diminished
29
Exh. 120
by improper tampering with witnesses. By threatening Niko Quinn with losing her children
and being placed in jail if she did not provide testimony that she believed to be false, ADA
Morehead clearly sought to assist a witness in providing false testimony, in violation of Rule
3.4(b). Indeed, even after being told twice by Niko Quinn that she no longer believed that Mr.
McIntyre was the perpetrator, ADA Morehead proceeded to lead Niko Quinn through her false
testimony. In this way, ADA Morehead exceeded her role as prosecutor and assumed an
unauthorized position in which she would decide the content of Niko Quinns testimony before
the court.
49. Additionally, ADA Morehead breached the duties of candor imposed by Rule
3.3(3) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, which provides that a lawyer shall not
offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be false. KANSAS RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT r.
3.3(3) (2007). That duty is meant to ensure that lawyers, as officers of the court, avoid
conduct that undermines the integrity of the adjudicative process. Id. cmt. 1. If the lawyer
learns that a witness has offered false information before the court, she shall take reasonable
remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal. Id. r. 3.3(3). Instead of
taking remedial measures, however, ADA Morehead we are told knowingly compelled Niko
Quinn to lie on the stand by giving testimony that directly contradicted what the witness had
previously stated to the prosecutor. By coercing a witness into giving false testimony during
trial, ADA Morehead violated one of her most important duties as an advocate before the court.
These shockingly dishonest acts irreparably compromised the integrity of the trial proceedings
50. ADA Moreheads conduct also violated Rule 8.4 of the Kansas Rules of
30
Exh. 120
involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. KANSAS RULES OF PROFL CONDUCT
r. 8.4(c) (2013). Rule 8.4(d) adds that it is professional misconduct to, engage in conduct that
is prejudicial to the administration of justice. Id. r. 8.4(d). ADA Moreheads conduct was
both deceitful and fraudulent insofar as she lied to Ms. Quinn about the possible contempt
charges. Niko Quinns attempts to correct her previous statement were not intended to subvert
court orders or delay or negatively impact the trial proceedings. Nor did Ms. Quinn ever refuse
to testify. In fact, nothing in the record suggests that ADA Morehead had any reasonable
grounds for believing that Niko Quinn could be held in contempt of court. ADA Moreheads
baseless threats that Niko Quinn could go to jail and have her children taken away were thus
nothing more than a blatant attempt to deceive and coerce Niko Quinn into testifying that Mr.
51. ADA Moreheads conduct can also be viewed as a violation of Rule 8.4(b) of
the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, which declares that it is misconduct for an attorney
to commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyers honesty, trustworthiness or
fitness as a lawyer in other respects. Id. r. 8.4(b). By suggesting to Niko Quinn that she could
be held in contempt, go to jail and lose her children if she recanted her statement and refused to
identify Mr. McIntyre as the perpetrator, ADA Morehead violated K.S.A. 21-5909 (2012),
which makes the intimidation of a witness or victim a Class B person misdemeanor. The
Id. It is my firm opinion that ADA Moreheads commission of this criminal act reflects
31
Exh. 120
52. Given that the States case turned on whether Mr. McIntyre could be identified
as the perpetrator, Niko Quinns testimony undeniably had a highly prejudicial effect on Mr.
McIntyres case. ADA Moreheads unlawful threats prevented and dissuaded Niko Quinn
from providing testimony that could have exonerated Mr. McIntyre while prompting an
investigation to discover and arrest another individual in connection with the shooting. In fact,
in her affidavit, Niko Quinn states that she later suspected another individual who went by the
name of Monster of the killing but that no follow-up was ever made by Detective Golubski.
Niko Quinn Aff. 28, June 30, 2014. There is therefore no question that ADA Moreheads
misconduct constitutes an affront to the integrity of the administration of justice that the
53. Beyond the ethical breaches stemming from ADA Moreheads threatening a
witness, I conclude that ADA Morehead also violated her ethical disclosure duties under Brady
v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), and Rule 3.8(d) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct
when she suppressed Niko Quinns statements and other exculpatory evidence from the
defense. In Brady, the Supreme Court unequivocally held that a prosecutor violates a
defendants constitutional due process rights when she withholds favorable evidence material
to the defendants guilt or punishment. Id. at 87. Consistent with the Supreme Courts holding
in Brady, Kansas courts have established a concurrent ethical duty that obligates prosecutors to
disclose information favorable to the defense. See, e.g., State v. Gonzales, 290 Kan. 747, 766
(2010). Under Rule 3.8(d), prosecutors shall make timely disclosure to the defense of all
evidence or information known to the prosecutor that tends to negate the guilt of the accused or
mitigates the offense . . . . KANSAS RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT r. 3.8(d) (2007). This
32
Exh. 120
Rule exactly replicates Rule 3.8(d) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which
has been adopted in some variation by almost all states in recognition of the importance of
54. The incorporation of Rule 3.8(d) into the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct
to the defense any exculpatory evidence within their possession in order to fulfill this moral
and legal imperative. Therefore, independent of her constitutional obligations under Brady,
ADA Morehead openly breached her professional ethical responsibilities under Rule 3.8(d)
when she knowingly withheld crucial exculpatory information from Mr. McIntyre during his
55. Although Rule 3.8(d) disclosure duties are independent of any constitutional
requirement, the Rules underlying rationale echoes the Supreme Courts reasoning in Brady.
Rule 3.8 specifically governs the conduct of prosecutors and seeks to hold them to a
heightened standard befitting their role as ministers of justice. See MODEL RULES PROFL
CONDUCT r. 3.8 cmt. 1 (Am. Bar Assn 2013); KANSAS RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT r.
3.8 cmt. 1 (2007). The ethical duties required by Rule 3.8 are meant to ensure that the
defendant receives procedural justice and that [his] guilt is decided upon the basis of
sufficient evidence. Id. The drafters of Rule 3.8(d) clearly recognized that prosecutorial
misconduct in the form of withholding exculpatory evidence denies defendants the procedural
justice to which they are entitled. Significantly, Rule 3.8(d) is meant to serve as a special
precaution[] to prevent the conviction of innocent persons. ABA Comm. on Ethics & Profl
Responsibility, Formal Op. 09-454 (2009). In adopting Rule 3.8(d), the Kansas Supreme Court
33
Exh. 120
surely intended to compel a level of disclosure from prosecutors that would mitigate the risk of
wrongful convictions and guarantee defendants a fair and just trial. When ADA Morehead
flouted her Rule 3.8(d) duties, she effectively robbed Mr. McIntyre of his right to a fair trial
56. The Supreme Court has stated that Rule 3.8(d) requires similar if not broader
disclosures from prosecutors than those mandated under Brady. In Brady, the Court held that
prosecutors are required to provide the defense with favorable evidence that is material to the
defendants guilt or punishment. Brady, 373 U.S. at 87. Evidence is deemed material to the
defense if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed, the result of
the proceeding would have been different. Cone v. Bell, 556 U.S. 449, 469-70 (2009). The
Court has further explained that reasonable probability of a different result does not mean
that a different verdict would have been more likely than not, but rather, that the evidentiary
suppression undermines confidence in the outcome of the trial. Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S.
419, 434 (1995). On its face, Rule 3.8(d) does not impose similar materiality restrictions;
rather, it requires that the prosecutor turn over all evidence that tends to negate the
defendants guilt. KANSAS RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT r. 3.8 (2007) (emphasis added).
The Court has noted that although [Brady] only mandates the disclosure of material evidence,
the obligation to disclose evidence favorable to the defense may arise more broadly under a
prosecutors ethical or statutory obligations. Cone, 556, U.S. at 470 n. 15. The ABA
Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility has similarly adopted the
position that prosecutors ethical duties [do] not implicitly include the materiality limitation
34
Exh. 120
57. ADA Morehead suppressed evidence that was so crucial to the defense that
regardless of whether the Court reads a materiality requirement into Rule 3.8(d)it is beyond
dispute that she violated Kansass Rule 3.8(d). Indeed, her concealment of Niko Quinns
exculpatory statements alone might amount to a severe breach of her ethical duties. In a case
that hinged entirely on the testimony of two eyewitnesses, ADA Morehead never disclosed to
the defense that one of those witnesses had notified her prior to testifying that Mr. McIntyre
was not the shooter she had witnessed commit the double homicide. Niko Quinn Aff. 21,
June 30, 2014; Gary Long Aff. 13, April 24, 2015. As noted above, Niko Quinn not only
informed ADA Morehead of Mr. McIntyres innocence, but she also described in detail the
physical differences between McIntyre and the true perpetrator. Id. Niko Quinns firm
rejections of Mr. McIntyres involvement in the crime as well as her statements identifying
specific physical dissimilarities between Mr. McIntyre and the shooter indisputably serve to
negate Mr. McIntyres guilt. By withholding these statements from the defendant, the
prosecutor unfairly deprived Mr. McIntyre of evidence that would have greatly strengthened
alone likely amounts to a breach of her duties under Brady and Rule 3.8(d), ADA Morehead
certainly violated those duties when she concealed the fact that she had used threats to coerce
Niko Quinn into testifying that Mr. McIntyre was the shooter. See Niko Quinn Aff. 21-22.
By intentionally concealing her coercive tactics, ADA Morehead directly contravened her
ethical duties to disclose to the defense exculpatory impeachment evidence. That Niko Quinn
was testifying under duress to a fact that she had previously disclaimed is strong impeachment
evidence. As the Court recognized in Smith v. Cain, where an eyewitnesss testimony is the
35
Exh. 120
only evidence linking a defendant to a crime, evidence that could impeach that witness is
plainly material. Smith, 132 S. Ct. 627, 629 (2012). In this case, Niko Quinn served as one
of only two eyewitnesses, and the prosecution had no other evidence beyond the accounts of
those two witnesses. The jury undoubtedly accorded great weight to Niko Quinns testimony;
had the defense been able to impeach her, the outcome of the trial would surely have been
thrown into doubt. Therefore, the evidence ADA Morehead suppressed was clearly material
under Brady and thus qualified as information that Rule 3.8(d) required a prosecutor to
disclose. ADA Moreheads withholding of this information was in flagrant violation of her
professional disclosure duties and rendered the trial proceedings manifestly unjust for Mr.
McIntyre.
ADA Morehead breached her ethical disclosure obligations yet again when she failed to inform
the defense that a third eyewitness, who never testified at trial, had unambiguously informed
her that McIntyre was not the shooter. Josephine Quinn, Niko Quinns mother, had originally
been subpoenaed to testify in Mr. McIntyres trial. But upon seeing Mr. McIntyre in the
courtroom, she, too, recognized that he was not the man she had witnessed commit the crime.
Josephine Quinn Aff. 5, Oct. 17, 1997. Echoing Niko Quinns statements, Josephine Quinn
stated that Mr. McIntyre was taller than and possessed different complexion and facial features
from the true shooter. Id. Rather than disclosing Josephine Quinns statements to the defense
as required under Rule 3.8(d), ADA Morehead dismissed her statements and did not ask her to
testify during the trial. Id. ADA Morehead never informed the defendant that Josephine Quinn
had come forward and stated that Lamonte McIntyre was not the shooter. Long Aff. 13-14,
April 24, 2015. Had defense counsel known of these statements, he would have moved to
36
Exh. 120
dismiss the case. Alternatively, he would have presented her testimony to the jury, and also
would have impeached Niko Quinn with her pretrial, exculpatory statements to the prosecutor.
Long Aff. 13-14. Given the paucity of evidence linking Mr. McIntyre to the crime,
Josephine Quinns and Niko Quinns exculpatory statements would almost certainly have had a
dramatic impact on the jurys decision on McIntyres guilt. As a result, I conclude that ADA
Moreheads failure to disclose these statements to the defense was therefore an unjustifiable
60. In Kyles, the Supreme Court held that suppressed exculpatory evidence should
be examined collectively to determine whether the evidence is material under Brady. 514 U.S.
at 436. Here, each piece of evidence concealed by ADA Morehead was so central to the case
that each would likely be considered material, even when viewed on an item-by-item basis.
But taken together, the pieces of suppressed evidence unquestionably undermine[] confidence
in the outcome of the trial. Id. at 434. In fact, the prosecutions case was so lacking in
evidence that defense counsel would certainly have made a motion to dismiss the case had he
known that two eyewitnesses had affirmed Mr. McIntyres innocence. Long Aff. 14.
Because the suppressed evidence constitutes materially exculpatory information under even the
most restrictive reading of Brady, it falls squarely within the type of evidence that Rule 3.8(d)
61. In failing to disclose the materially exculpatory statements made by Niko Quinn
and Josephine Quinn, ADA Morehead knowingly and purposefully breached her duties as a
minister of justice. She deployed improper methods to obtain an unfair conviction that rested
upon false and insufficient evidence, directly infringing on the principles that underlie Rule
3.8(d). ADA Morehead surely should be disciplined for such blatant misconduct. Because
37
Exh. 120
ADA Moreheads reprehensible actions directly violated the bedrock of criminal justice and
denied Mr. McIntyre the impartial trial to which he was entitled, I conclude that the Court
should now grant him a new opportunity to present the evidence that was unjustly withheld
from him. Only then will Mr. McIntyre have received the fair and just trial that he deserves.
IV. Conclusion
62. By virtue of their position as officers and representatives of the criminal justice
system, judges and prosecutors have affirmative duties to ensure that defendants receive the
fair trial to which they are entitled. Without both a neutral judge and a just prosecutor, it is
impossible for a criminal trial to satisfy the requirements of due process, as guaranteed by the
Fourteenth Amendment. In the present matter, the numerous ethical violations committed by
Judge Burdette and ADA Moreheadnamely, (1) the failure of both actors to recuse
themselves or disclose their previous sexual relationship, (2) ADA Moreheads subornation of
perjury by a key witness, and (3) ADA Moreheads failure to disclose materially exculpatory
evidenceundeniably tainted the proceedings with both tacit bias and patent injustice. In
order to rectify these egregious Constitutional violations, I urge this Court to vacate Mr.
McIntyres flawed conviction and set this case for retrial before an impartial tribunal
