Speedy trial dismissal in corruption case

A Kansas City Star article reported that Ed Gillette won dismissal of charges in State v. Vaughn, ending a Wyandotte County misdemeanor prosecution related to an alleged ticket-fixing scandal. Mr. Vaughn was the police chief of Edwardsville. Judge Lyle dismissed the charges based on a statutory speedy trial violation. The article reports that the state has already filed a notice of appeal.
