John Gillespie

District Attorney
Wichita County District Attorney's Office

John Gillespie has been District Attorney of Wichita County since January 2019. As a 23-year career prosecutor, John's passion is targeting those who prey upon the vulnerable and being a voice for those who have never had a voice. Notably, he prosecuted Michael Corey for continuous sexual abuse of three children, obtaining three stacked life sentences. Gillespie also led the successful prosecution of Migel Matthew for felony murder that resulted in a 60-year sentence for killing a 4-year-old driving drunk at 103 m.p.h. He prosecuted Sara Woody, who starved and tormented her step-kids, convicting her of first-degree Serious Mental Injury for her childhood PTSD. He has trained for TDCAA on Crossing Defense Experts in Child Abuse Cases and on Upholding Search Warrants in Court.
