The top prosecutor in St. Louis, Missouri, “has lost the trust of the people and left crime victims in the dark,” says Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, adding ammunition to a court case that seeks to remove Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner from her elected position.

“She has sacrificed the safety of the city of St. Louis. She has squandered the goodwill of the courts through misdirection and incompetence. She has turned away grieving families while murderers walk free,” Bailey said in a March 21 court filing (pdf).
