Ethics hearing for Kansas prosecutor accused of misconduct ends; decision pending Katie Bernard and Katie Moore, The Kansas City Star Dec. 11—A week-long disciplinary hearing concerning misconduct complaints against a Kansas prosecutor concluded Friday with a three-attorney panel in Topeka announcing its decision will come at a later date. Jacqie Spradling, a former Shawnee County prosecutor who now practices in Bourbon and Allen counties, was accused by the Kansas Disciplinary Administrator's Office of misconduct in a Topeka double murder trial and a Holton rape case. The complaints were brought to the disciplinary panel this week in a hearing at the Kansas Judicial Center. The panel's decision could result in Spradling's law license being suspended or revoked. It comes more than four years after the first ethics complaint was filed against her.
