St. Louis city officials say they will not prosecute nine people charged with trespassing on private property in connection with a incident this summer in which a a married couple in the gated community armed themselves to protect their home.
City Counselor Mark Garvin said in a statement on Tuesday that “prosecution is not warranted,” and charges will not be filed, despite the nine being issued police summonses in September.
Garvin reported that the trespassing cases had been reviewed by municipal court prosecutors. He added that residents of Portland Place (the name of the private, gated area) expressed via their legal counsel, that they do not wish to press trespassing charges.
One felony count of unlawful use of a weapon-exhibiting is still pending against the couple – Patricia and Mark McCloskey.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has promised to pardon the couple if they are convicted of a crime or misdemeanor.
That is so wrong. Soros paying off the DA’s is working. I don’t think the guy that was trying to shoot Kyle got arrested either, too bad shot Kyle is such a good shot and only got his arm.
