Missouri AG releases recommendations, findings in Kim Gardner investigation

Spectrum News

ST. LOUIS—Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey released a 62-page document titled the “Kim Gardner Report”, detailing his investigation into the former St. Louis Circuit Attorney who resigned after a string of calls for her to step down, including efforts by Bailey’s office.

Bailey says he hopes the report will help people “understand the profound and willful failures” of Gardner and will prevent a “ruinous situation” from arising in the future. 

“You had a prosecuting attorney who was refusing to charge new cases referred by the police department, and there was a stack of at least 4,000 cases pending that she had not addressed,” Bailey told Spectrum News Tuesday morning when explaining the biggest takeaways from the investigation. 

He added Gardner was dismissing more cases than she was filing, and the cases that were filed, he explained she wasn’t moving to trial.  more here

  1. “(Gardner) said the effort to have her removed goes against the will of the voters of St. Louis who have elected her twice to the post.”

    She was the favorite of the “Dindu Nuffin” voters. Sounds like STL got what they deserved.
