The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
pinned the dismissals on high turnover at the office of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. The office has suffered
more than 100% turnover under Gardner, and as a result, writes Joel Currier, it’s gone from dismissing an average of 10 to 15% of felony cases in the years before Gardner’s election to more than 30% in the last three years. Last year, it dismissed 36% of all felony cases, Currier reported.
Matthew Mahaffey, the district defender for the St. Louis office of the Missouri State Public Defender, will join Thursday’s
St. Louis on the Air to discuss how those dismissals are affecting his office’s clients and attorneys.
