This is just incredible…. jaw dropping. Circuit Attorney Kimberly M Gardner is the same prosecutor filing charges against the McCloskeys for defending their home in Saint Louis. Incredibly her office was charging a previously convicted felon with first-degree murder, and the prosecutor assigned to the case took maternity leave leaving no-one to show up in court.
After three missed court hearings by prosecutors, the judge was forced to drop a murder case because no-one other than the defense, a public defender, was showing up in court.
This is a jaw-dropping example of a prosecutors office is a state of horrible mismanagement. Compounding the issue Ms. Gardner doesn’t even attempt to justify the collapse of the justice system… she just says whoopsie.
ST. LOUIS — A circuit judge dismissed a 2020 murder case last week and said the Circuit Attorney’s Office “abandoned its duty” after St. Louis prosecutors failed three times to show for court hearings or respond to a court order to produce evidence.
Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser on Wednesday dismissed first-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful gun possession charges against Brandon Campbell, 30, after no one from the Circuit Attorney’s Office showed up for scheduled hearings in May, June and July.

Nice to see she has her priorities straight.
Bump
Mayor Beetlejuice’s fraternal twin ?
Please be aware that any criticism of Kimberly Gardner is ‘racist’. As is the investigation of her actions regarding former governor Greitens.
/s
Anyone other than a black felon, and Gardner would have tried the case herself.
Just for the hell of it... what is the race of the released murderer?
Is she married????
I know she’s “elected” but does being elected really take away any oversight? Isn’t there someone who can smack her down? State AG perhaps? IG?
That’s what you get when you elect dog$hit to an important position.
Unless it is a white guy accused, then it is Javert mode.
Looked her up.
Yup.
This is why it’s no longer safe to live in a blue county. Besides Soros DAs who dump felons back into society, you also have judges who look at prison as slavery for a certain race, and have juries that ‘look like America’ and often cops who think the same way - do you really expect a fair verdict when half of the jury supports BLM? Hard to see how this improves, short of the state (Texas, in this case) takes over the administration of justice...and that only works as long as the state remains red.
Perp probably a
fellow blm/antifa/soros peep.
.
It is within this Judge’s power to have this woman dragged before him in handcuffs and cite her for Contempt.
L
I hope that the Missouri AG can remove her for failure to administer the duties of her elected job. What a travesty of justice for the St. Louis community. o
This woman has been one of the Three Stooges since Day One. She’s toast after the final rulings from the Greitens debacle get posted.
Not ‘dragged’...
