A Missouri appellate court on Friday rejected St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner’s appeal to prosecute lawyer Mark McCloskey.
The judge’s decision upheld a previous ruling in December by Judge Thomas Clark to remove Gardner from prosecuting the case. Clark disqualified Gardner and her office after discovering she had used the case in her campaign fundraising.
