Now that former KCK detective Roger Golubski has been indicted, a question lingers over Wyandotte County’s legal system: Can the convictions he built be trusted?

Long accused of terrorizing and raping Black women in KCK, Golubski faces six charges stemming from reports that he sexually abused and kidnapped a woman and a young teenager from 1998 to 2002, though prosecutors contend there are additional victims. He has pleaded not guilty.

The Star reviewed six cases that illustrate allegations raised in recent years about the practices of former Kansas City, Kansas, police detectives, including Golubski. In those cases, spanning from 1997 to 2009, KCKPD detectives are accused of coercing witnesses or falsifying evidence against suspects who, now in prison, maintain they are innocent.

Meanwhile, dozens of prisoners may soon see their cases revisited. The Midwest Innocence Project alone is screening 30 Wyandotte County convictions. Team Roc, the social justice arm of rapper Jay-Z’s entertainment company, believes the problem is so significant that it facilitated donations totaling $1 million last year for the nonprofit to investigate convictions there.

In the latest development, the Wyandotte County District Attorney has said he will re-examine cases tied to Golubski's name when they are brought to him.
