U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil, who is overseeing the Lamonte McIntyre civil case, also refused to move the October trial out of Kansas City.
The federal judge overseeing the civil case filed by Lamonte McIntyre, a Kansas City, Kansas, man wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years, said she’s concerned that if McIntyre wins, the verdict could be “huge.”
At the end of a two-day hearing on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil questioned the Unified Government's attorney about any monetary settlement talks, ordered mediation by June and appointed Kansas City, Kansas Mayor Tyrone Garner, a former KCK police officer, to help mediate the case.
“If it goes for plaintiffs, I think there’s going to be a huge verdict,” Vratil said. “I’d be concerned about the public interest and good government if you lose this case.”
Vratil’s comments came the same day KCUR reported that the UG has publicly warned municipal bond investors that an ongoing federal grand jury investigation and the McIntyre case could result in significant financial implications for the UG.

..."Vratil ordered the two sides to begin mediation by the end of June, even as they prepare for trial. Still, she said she doesn’t want a last-minute settlement that could fall apart.
“There will not be any settlements on the courthouse steps,” she said.
Any settlement must be approved by the UG Board of Commissioners.
Vratil also denied Golubski’s request for summary judgment in his favor, saying there were factual issues a jury must decide. Among other things, the McIntyres allege that the UG should be held responsible for Golubski and six other officers conspiring to maliciously prosecute Lamonte McIntyre for the crime he didn’t commit."
