Delaware Circuit Court Judge has ruled that Prosecutor Mark McKinney acted “decieitefully” in the Drug Task Force forefieture cases. McKinney issued a statement to the Star-Press on Monday evening, denying “any effort to mislead or deceive anyone.” Judge Dailey reviewed about 450 forefeiture cases before coming to his conclusion. Muncie Mayor Sharon McShurely filed a complaint last spring regarding McKinney’s handling of the cases. In particular, she is concerned that funds from the seizures were not deposited in city accounts as required by law.
