Charges in St. Louis more than doubled after embattled St. Louis prosecutor resigned

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Criminal prosecutions have more than doubled in St. Louis since the city's progressive prosecutor resigned under fire, a newspaper analysis found.

The St. Lois Post-Dispatch found that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore filed more than 1,400 case over the three-month period that started with his May 31 swearing-in. That compares to 620 cases filed over the same period when Kim Gardner led the office.

Gardner, a Democrat, was elected in 2016 to become the city’s first Black circuit attorney. She was part of a movement of prosecutors who sought diversion to mental health or drug abuse treatment for low-level crimes, pledged to hold police more accountable, and proactively sought to free inmates who were wrongfully convicted.

But she announced in May that she would resign as she faced an ouster effort by Missouri’s attorney general and scrutiny from Republican state lawmakers.

Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson picked Gore, a former assistant U.S. attorney, to replace her. Since then, he's tackled a backlog of 4,500 pending charge applications, hiring more than 20 attorneys to help. But the office still is understaffed because the number of attorneys in the office fell be half during Gardner's tenure.

“I don’t think there’s any magic to what we’re doing,” Gore said. “We are just charging the violations of law.”

Many of the cases left to be charged are complex cases, including five homicides, that require updated investigations. The goal, Gore said, is to clear the backlog by the beginning of 2024.

Filthy racist bitch. She should go to prison for the rest of her life.

Missouri Attorney General’s Report Exposes Soros-Funded Prosecutor Kim Gardner: Over 25,000 Cases Dismissed, Misuse of Taxpayer Funds, and Rights Violations

Key Findings of the Report:

Dismissal of 25,000 Cases: The report highlights that under Gardner’s tenure, an astonishing 25,000 cases were dismissed, raising serious concerns about the administration of justice in St. Louis.

Failure to Prosecute 2,735 Cases: Judges dismissed 2,735 cases due to Gardner’s office’s failure to prosecute, indicating a systemic breakdown in the city’s legal processes.

Misuse of Taxpayer Money: The report uncovers that Gardner’s office paid $351,500 to an unlicensed attorney for legal advice, a blatant misuse of taxpayer funds.

Violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act: Gardner’s administration is accused of countless violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, compromising the rights and welfare of victims in criminal cases.

Resignation Amidst Legal Pressure: Gardner resigned just hours before a judge was expected to order the turnover of potentially damaging records and schedule a deposition, a move seen as an attempt to evade accountability.

Didn’t she go back to school to be a nurse or am I thinking of someone else. Imagine being a white male and needing to rely on her.

Once the audit by the State Auditor is completed, which was separate from the Attorney General's investigation, that is when the real crap will come out. Rumor has it, even though Gardner only had about 20 attorneys by the end of her tenure, she had "spent" almost all the training fund money.....it will be real interesting to see where that money went to. Initially Gardner turned over receipts to the State Auditor with dates and costs, but names redacted so there was no way to track the expenses and the money. Another rumor has it that Gardner used the money to upgrade her travel expenses and may have used the money on her "nursing degree" classes.

Gardner already has a master’s in nursing. She was enrolled in an advanced nursing degree program at St. Louis University School of Nursing when all this took place.

Judge: Pardoned gun-waving lawyer Mark McCloskey won’t get his guns or money back

That’s some BS right there.

^The McCloskey's pleaded guilty to misdemeanors and agreed to forfeit the two firearms in exchange for the felony charges against them being dropped. The pardon doesn't have any effect on their guilt and therefore does not change the deal. It seems that being found guilty, convicted, of a crime is different than admitting to being guilty of a crime when it comes to pardons.

So they filed a lawsuit to get back a Bryco pistol, a Colt AR-15 and $800 some odd dollars? Can't they just buy new guns, eat the $800 and actually be ahead of the problem? Do they have to get the conviction expunged even though it was a misdemeanor?

Again, it’s not the conviction that is the issue, it’s that they pleaded guilty. The case law the judge cited supports the decision. If they had pleaded not guilty, gone through a trial, and been convicted, then being granted a gubernatorial pardon for that conviction would likely have allowed them to get their firearms back.

Of course that would have been expensive, involved jail time, bond, whatever, which is why they chose to plead guilty. They are being petty at this point.

Yes, it's a matter of principle. They want their stuff back because it should never have been taken from them to begin with.

BTW- a Bryco, and not just a Bryco- a broken Bryco. ick

Which I think is great. An unjust thing happened to them, they should continue to jam the system in every possible way.

Is there any other kind?

It has become clear that these anti-American Constitution, so-called judges have a personal agenda, and it is not to keep their oath to defend and support the US Constitution! More of this "red flag" nonsense, only now it seems to getting into the court rooms.

Appeals court upholds ruling that St. Louis circuit attorney violated Sunshine Law

St Louis DA Kim Gardner is in a world of hurt after she lost her appeal for refusing to turn over her communications with operatives of George Soros and others in her prosecution of former Gov Eric Greitens. A court has already found that she committed 62 acts of misconduct and 79 cases of misrepresentation in convicting Greitens of crimes he did not commit. He was later cleared and the extremely popular Greitens is now running for the US Senate from Missouri.

Gardner has been a disaster for St Louis. Last year there more murders in St Louis than at any time in the last 50 years. Gardner has refused to prosecute so many murderers that the Missouri legislature had to pass a law limiting the time she had to file murder charges to 90 days. After that, the state Attorney General takes over the case.

Gardner refused to prosecute cases of drug dealers and child molesters even when there was enough evidence to make them open and shut cases. Her excuse was that the police are racists and she refused to take cases from over 20 policemen at all.

A Missouri Appeals Court ruled unanimously against her and she will have to face disciplinary charges on her corrupt practices and pay the $5,000 dollar fine she previously received.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported:

The Missouri Court of Appeals at St. Louis on Tuesday upheld a judge’s ruling against the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office for failing to respond to a lawsuit that alleged violations of the state’s open records law.

The appeals court’s unanimous ruling said Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner’s appeals had “no merit.” She had challenged St. Louis Circuit Judge Christopher McGraugh’s ruling and $5,000 penalty for refusing to produce records and respond in time to a January 2020 lawsuit filed by conservative journalist John Solomon.

“Based on this whole record, we hold the trial court did not err in finding (Gardner’s) failure to file a timely response to (Solomon’s) amended petition was not the result of an unexpected or unavoidable hindrance, accident, or mishap, but was instead the result of (Gardner’s) carelessness, inattention, and deliberate disregard,” the court said.

Solomon, a former Fox News contributor who runs the website Just the News, sought all of Gardner’s contacts with staff and other key players in the 2018 criminal investigations of then-Gov. Eric Greitens.

Those people include Missouri Times publisher Scott Faughn, Clayton lawyer Albert Watkins, billionaire mega-donor George Soros and former state Reps. Stacey Newman and Jay Barnes.

thats a start

whats the next step in her imprisonment for life?

There needs to be a class action suit against this leftist bitch by all the victims of actual crimes that she refused to prosecute. Sue her into poverty and then go after her criminally- give her racist ass a nice orange jump suit and put Soros name in the open as an agent provocateur. HE is the true evil in the world, and should take center stage as a protector of child abusers and drug dealers. I would love to see this man dead.

I understand what you’re saying, but that seems awfully expensive. Too many lawyer fees and too much cost for her incarceration.
What is really needed here is some divine intervention. She needs to visit Soros and his offspring and a higher power needs to send a bolt of lightning or a small comet. Multiple shitbirds, one stone.

I have heard it said that if Soros died, his money/organization would just keep on keepin' on long after that. I'm sure they're right. I don't care. He needs to expire, most riki tik.

I'm one of those that would still get a chuckle out of reading about him choking to death on a chicken bone or something.
I think the collective chuckle (in reaction to his death) across the nation would be detectable on seismic monitors.

^^^^^^^^given that Alex is being broadcast and quoted more recently, I’d say old George is getting close to his eternal damnation.
