ST. LOUIS: "Two prosecutors who have been thrust into the spotlight in recent weeks for their involvement in contempt proceedings against Kimberly M. Gardner's office have resigned. The men were two of just a few prosecutors left handling hundreds of serious violent felony cases in the city, including murders, robberies and assaults. They join a growing number of staffers to flee as Gardner's office has faced escalating criticism in recent months.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit to remove Gardner from office, and a bill moving through the Missouri Legislature seeks to strip Gardner of most of her power. The moves come after years of criticism over understaffing and organizational dysfunction in the Gardner's office."
