Prosecutors – especially the highest prosecutor in the state – are supposed to possess certain values. Integrity. Fairness. Knowledge of the law. The ability to operate common office equipment.

Phill Kline, it seems, possesses none of these.

Attorney General Paul Morrison's investigation of the state's highest-profile abortion provider revealed former Attorney General Phill Kline may have acted unethically to advance criminal charges against Dr. George Tiller … Fifteen misdemeanor counts brought by then-Attorney General Kline in December alleging misconduct by Tiller in reporting late-term abortions were based on incomplete and misleading information …

Some of this misconduct sounds serious enough to warrant an ethics investigation…

Perhaps more significantly, [Morrison’s office said], the probable-cause affidavit submitted by Kline to a Sedgwick County judge left out information that might have been favorable to Tiller in evaluating the validity of the 11 other reporting counts.

Others are the result of not knowing how to operate a copier…

In four of the 15 cases, [Morrison spokeswoman Ashley] Anstaett said, Kline relied on mixed-up KDHE records to support misdemeanor charges against Tiller. She said Kline seized upon what appeared to be reporting inconsistencies by Tiller to justify four misdemeanor counts. Morrison discovered document copying errors were to blame for Kline's confusion, she said.

And about Kline’s claim that the medical records would be kept safe and private?

Anstaett also said problems locating records and case files from Kline’s investigation delayed Morrison’s review. The case file was missing when Morrison took office, she said.

Medical records were retrieved, she said, from the Sedgwick County courts, a Shawnee County judge and district attorney, a special prosecutor hired by Kline and Paul McHugh, a psychiatrist consulted in the case.

Now where recently have we heard of a prosecutor placing politics above the law, even going so far as to withhold exculpatory evidence? And what exactly happened to him?
