A Johnson County prosecutor is looking for work after lying to a judge
A Johnson County assistant district attorney is out of a job after being reprimanded by a Kansas ethics panel for lying to a judge.
Kansas’ Office of the Disciplinary Administrator issued an “informal admonition” last month against Jill Kenney for making a false statement to a judge. Kenney, who was the section chief of the traffic unit, received a letter notifying her of the ethics lapse on October 4, nearly a year after the prosecutor had told a mediation judge that she’d personally spoken to a nurse who had drawn blood from a defendant, which wasn’t true.
Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe has confirmed that Kenney was out.
