U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-4140
and No: 06-1099
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Civil rights. Investigator did not violate Plaintiff's
constitutional rights as Plaintiff failed to produce any evidence that the
investigator acted intentionally, recklessly or in bad faith when he failed
to disclose to the prosecutor in Plaintiff's murder case an internal memo
and failed to investigate a statement that a different inmate had murdered
the inmate Plaintiff was accused of murdering; as a result, the
investigator's estate is entitled to qualified immunity; district court did
not err in finding the warden and corrections supervisor were entitled to
qualified immunity as they had only limited involvement in the
investigation which led to Plaintiff's murder charge.
