Innocent Man Who Spent 23 Years In Prison Seeks $93 Million In Damages, Claims He Was Framed
A Kansas man, who spent 23 years in prison for a double homicide but was later found innocent, is seeking $93 million in damages from the county where he was convicted and the former detective who allegedly framed him.
Lamonte McIntyre, and his mother, Rose McIntyre, filed a lawsuit in 2018 claiming that the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, were responsible for the actions of former Kansas City detective Roger Golubski, along with other officers, which led to his wrongful conviction.
The trial for the civil case was set by a federal judge for Nov. 7.
“Golubski used his badge to protect the guilty, frame the (innocent), and serve his personal agenda, whether it was carrying out a vendetta or protecting the drug dealers who paid him,” the McIntyres' lawyers say in the order.
In the lawsuit, Golubski is accused of having sex with McIntyre’s mother and then framing her son because she did not want to pursue the sexual relationship any further. Rose McIntyre is also seeking $30 million in damages.
Other accusations include that Golubski has a long history of abusing Black women by exploiting them for sex, then using them as anonymous “informants” to clear cases or to protect drug dealers.
The McIntyres included a list of 73 women that had issues with the detective.
Lamonte McIntyre, 45, was released from prison in 2017 due to all of the charges and convictions being dropped by a local prosecutor. He was later given $1.5 million from the state along with a certificate of innocence in 2020.
Although Lamonte McIntyre and his mother both have since been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the lawsuit.
