KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- We're now learning the impact of a fire that damaged an evidence warehouse used by the Kansas City, Mo. Police Department.
Defense attorneys say cases are stalling and they're not sure some evidence can be salvaged.
Criminal defense attorney John Picerno has seven murder cases on his desk right now. At least one of them is now proving more challenging after a fire at KCPD's evidence warehouse last month.
One case affected already is last summer's murder of off-duty Lee's Summit Police officer Thomas Orr, at Californo's in Westport.
