Special prosecutor looks into alleged threats against Kim Gardner

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — It has been more than three months since a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate claims by St.

Previous Post #REPOST “Missouri Police Chiefs Association President Sean Fagan says the biggest issues are recruiting and keeping police. He says no one wants to be an officer because of increased public scrutiny of police. Fagan called for better police protection and higher pay. He wants more resources to combat drug crimes and is critical of releasing prisoners early. St. Louis Prosecutor Kim Gardner says locking people up won’t solve the issue. She advocated to improve witness protection programs and expand police outreach to schoolchildren.” No one wants to be a police officer because either 1. They don’t want to be a member of the biggest gang and legal criminal enterprise or 2. They think don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. Gardner is halfright, we’re not gonna prosecute our way out of this but criminals and those who prey on our community should be locked up. Expanding police outreach to schoolchildren but not eradicating the root issues of crime? She advocates improving witness protection, yet diverts money that could fund witness protection for her own defense. Her lawsuit against the state is seeking personal monetary damages resulting from pushback for alleged unethical practices in her prosecution of Gov Greitens not to fund witness protection.

Data from the 22nd Circuit Court show the dismissal rate of felony cases over the past 32 months is the highest it has been in a decade. ”Quite honestly, the office is made up of rookies and that’s why I think the win rate is so bad,” said Terry Niehoff, a longtime St. Louis defense lawyer, former Jefferson County prosecutor and frequent Gardner critic. About half of the prosecutors who left did so in Gardner’s first year. Gardner, who declined to discuss the current state of her office, initially downplayed the turnover, telling the Post-Dispatch she believed most of those leaving were loyal to her predecessor and resistant to Gardner’s reforms. ”Some people want to go through it with me, and some do not,” she told the Post-Dispatch in 2017. “Most of those people who left, I’m not missing them.” About 20 more prosecutors left last year. So far this year, the office has lost more than a dozen prosecutors. Executive staffers also have gone, including Gardner’s second chief of staff who recently quit.”
