WyCo judge seals document in case against suspect charged in KCK officer’s death

Wyandotte County District Court Chief Judge Robert Burns has sealed certain court documents in connection with the capital murder charge against Dennis Mitchell III in the death of Kansas City, Kansas, Police Ofc. Hunter Simoncic.

In his ruling made Tuesday, Burns sealed the affidavit, claiming that public release could “jeopardize the physical, mental or emotional safety or well-being of the victim, witness, confidential source, or undercover agent, or cause the destruction of evidence,” and “interfere with any prospective law enforcement action, criminal investigation or prosecution.”
