Calls To Remove Saint Louis Prosecutor

Missouri’s attorney general is moving forward on getting St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Kim Gardner kicked out of office. The move is in response to Gardner’s office failing to put a man back in jail for robbery after violating his bond more than 50 times. That man is the suspect in a traffic crash last weekend that cost a Tennessee teenager both of her legs. Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed Thursday a request to begin removal proceedings through the court system.

During a press conference Thursday, Gardner said the court denied or ignored three recent oral requests to have the man’s bond revoked, even though that information is not shown online.
