    Kimberly Gardner’s St Louis Prosecutors Don’t Show Up To Court

    Kimberly Gardner’s St Louis Prosecutors Don’t Show Up To Court, Known Felon Accused of First Degree Murder Released

    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.

    “The court does not take this action without significant consideration for the implications it may have for public safety,” Sengheiser wrote in his order. “Although presumed innocent, (Campbell) has been charged with the most serious of crimes. While the court has a role to play in protecting public safety, that role must be balanced with adherence to the law and the protection of the rights of the defendant.”

    […] A spokeswoman for Kimberly M. Gardner provided a statement Monday saying “Upon review of our internal policies and procedures regarding family medical leave, we have determined that corrective measures are needed to further prevent any future repeat occurrence of the incident in question.

    […] [The accused felon] fled to Arizona after the shooting and then to Texas, the documents say. He was arrested in Texas by U.S. Marshals. He has previous federal and state convictions for illegal gun possession, drug possession and stealing. (read more)

    Comment: No words, for this level of intentional incompetence- “After three missed court hearings by prosecutors”

  • Cul-de-Sac Commandos Indicted

    Cul-de-Sac Commandos Indicted

    You probably remember Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple that defended their home from rioters that broke down their gate and menaced them on their own front lawn. You may also remember George Soros connected St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner, who used the pair in a fund-raising campaign, and not in a good way.

    Well, the latter has indicted the former on felony unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with evidence charges. The pair face up to four years in prison and the loss of their law licenses if convicted.

    It’s unclear where the tampering charge came from, but the McCloskeys have credibly accused Gardiner’s office of tampering with the pistol Patricia displayed during the incident.

    The McCloskeys claimed the pistol had been intentionally rendered incapable of firing, with a spring placed in front of the firing pin, because it was used as a prop in a previous lawsuit.  Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley ordered the gun stripped and reassembled such that it could be operational.
