“At the end of the day, justice requires for us to be willing to sacrifice our comfortability so that what is right can be made right. Never let anyone make you afraid of doing what you know is right.” -WYCO DA's Office Mark Dupree

In our latest Meet the Movement video, WYCO DA's Office Mark Dupree shares how his sense of justice was shaped by his parents, who instilled in him the importance of every person's humanity and encouraged giving back to his community, leading him to become the first Black DA in KS.

CIUs enable prosecutors' offices to revisit previous convictions to uncover instances of prosecutorial or police misconduct and ensure innocent people do not remain behind bars, which helps build trust in our legal system. Learn more: fairandjustprosecution.org/staging/wp-con…

“If there was one [act of prosecutorial misconduct] there was more. That was the birth of the CIU.... That's why we're… looking at these cases, and doing what we need to do.... Justice declares that we must take our time and [do] what's right,” -Mark Dupree

Early into his time in office, WYCO DA's Office Mark Dupree personally investigated a wrongful conviction of Lamonte McIntyre. His work exposing this miscarriage of justice led him to establish the first Conviction Integrity Unit in the state of Kansas. kansascity.com/news/local/cri…
