Show Notes
A special prosecutor, J. Daniel Patterson, has been appointed to investigate claims that Platte County Presiding Commissioner Scott Fricker illegally accessed Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnds county email account. The investigation follows a heated dispute over county funding decisions and a complaint filed by Fricker against Zahnd for allegedly misusing county resources. Zahnd counters that the email in question contained sensitive information and was not properly requested. Patterson can now pursue warrants, subpoenas, and evidence to determine if charges like tampering with computer data or users apply, each a class E felony. Zahnd has also asked the Missouri Ethics Commission to dismiss Frickers complaint as baseless and is seeking damages if its ruled frivolous.
