Campbell\u2019s lawyer, David Miller, said evidence discovered by the defense prompted prosecutors to drop the charges.<\/p>\n
I have to give high regard to the DA\u2019s office for looking at the evidence that we uncovered,\u201d <\/strong>Miller said. He added that his client was \u201cabsolutely innocent of the crimes he was charged with.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHe declined to elaborate on the nature of the new evidence.<\/p>\n
Long Rap Sheet<\/strong><\/h2>\nCampbell had been charged with first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated battery, a convicted felon’s criminal possession of a weapon, and illegal gambling.<\/p>\n

He has a long rap sheet that includes domestic violence, arson, and illegal weapons possession. After being convicted in 2009 of charges related to murders of rival gang members, racketeering, and conspiracy, he also spent time in prison. Prosecutors, in that case, claimed Campbell was an NHC member.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On December 8, he allegedly attacked a nephew of Freeman\u2019s in the Sedgwick County Jail. The Sheriff\u2019s Office claimed Campbell entered the man\u2019s cell and slashed him seven times with a shank.<\/p>\n
Tragically, Freeman\u2019s son, Deandre Freeman Jr, was also murdered in September 2013, a victim of gang violence. His alleged killer, Antonio Bell, died in jail before he could stand trial. Bell\u2019s death resulted from a medical condition and was not believed to be suspicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
