COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Boone County on Monday entered an agreement with Montgomery County Prosecutor Paul Boyd to serve as a special assistant prosecutor.
Boyd is overseeing six murder cases in Boone County. He was an assistant prosecutor for Boone County, but was appointed by Gov. Mike Kehoe last month to become Montgomery County’s next top prosecutor.
The agreement says a retainer of $24,000 will be paid out to Boyd for the six cases. Boyd will be paid $1,500 for the first day of each trial, and $1,000 for each additional day. Total payment cannot exceed $35,000, according to the document.
