Description:

Jean Peters Baker is leaving office next month after 13 years as Jackson County's top prosecutor. She said she's faced threats and criticism for her decisions over the years — especially over the prosecution of ex-KCPD officer Eric DeValkenaere.

Baker spoke with Steve Kraske on KCUR's Up To Date about the cases she's handled and why she decided not to run for reelection.
