Jackson County will pay $70,000 to assistant prosecutor Dan Miller to drop his lawsuits and go away, KSHB Channel 41 reports. The JaCo Legislature voted unanimously to pay Miller to drop his lawsuits claiming that he was discriminated with.

The lawsuits stem from a Jackson County judge's reprimand of Miller for withholding evidence from the defense attorneys of Matthew Davis, who was accused of abandoning the body of his girlfriend, Amber McGathey, after she died of a drug overdose in 2004.

For a refresher on the Davis case, read Nadia Pflaum's very personal story about attending college with McGathey and trying to piece together what McGathey's life was like in Kansas City.

So, our tax money goes to a guy that withheld documents on a high-profile murder trial? Man, how did he get off the hook so easily? He was being "discriminated against?" Really? Was he? He WITHHELD documents and then got PAID to do so.
I don't believe all lawyers are scum, but this guy definitely is. How in the hell is he still employed? I'd like to sue Jackson County for my tax dollars being wasted on a liar.
