Kansas seeks death penalty in Wyandotte County deputy killing. Here’s how it works
SUMMARY: Shawn Harris faces capital murder charges for the July 26 shooting death of Wyandotte County Deputy Elijah Ming in Kansas City, Mo. The State of Kansas intends to seek the death penalty if Harris is convicted. Deputy Ming responded after a woman requested police help because Harris threatened her with a gun. Harris shot at the deputy and an officer, leading to a standoff before his surrender. Harris, with a lengthy criminal record, is held on \$2 million bond and represented by the Kansas Death Penalty Unit. Kansas reinstated the death penalty in 1994, but no executions have occurred since 1965.

Audit: Wesley Bell-led prosecutor’s office lacked oversight and timekeeping
SUMMARY: A Missouri state audit of the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office under Wesley Bell found no major misconduct but highlighted concerns in office practices. Issues included undocumented meal expenses, a hotel charge for a witness who didn’t appear, reimbursement against policy, and animal care payments without contracts. Some attorneys held secondary municipal court jobs during office hours without proper time off. About 51% of timesheets lacked supervisor approval, though no policy required it before. Current Prosecutor Melissa Price-Smith has since implemented weekly supervisor reviews. The audit recommended stricter enforcement of spending rules, formal contracts, PTO requirements for outside work, and improved timekeeping.

Boeing workers on strike, cite 'unfair' contract
SUMMARY: Thousands of Boeing workers in St. Louis have gone on strike for the first time in nearly 30 years, rejecting a revised four-year contract despite offers of six-figure pay raises, $5,000 signing bonuses, and average salaries over $100,000. The union argues the contract fails to improve sick leave, vacation time, and working conditions, citing feelings of disrespect from management. Boeing, facing financial losses and talent attrition, expressed disappointment, highlighting a 40% average wage growth offer and alternative work schedules. No new negotiations are scheduled yet, and union members vow to remain on the picket line until demands are met.
On Monday, union members stood outside of Boeing’s headquarters in Berkeley, Missouri, with picket signs, expressing their frustration with management. Workers told FOX 2 that Boeing’s latest offer does not go far enough.
