Yesterday was a very bad, no-good day for Soros-backed St Louis DA Kim Gardner. First, it was the opening day of a trial brought by the Attorney General of Missouri to have her removed from her office over dereliction of duty and other charges. In another courtroom, Gardner was threatened with jail for contempt of court. Her office was to begin the prosecution of an alleged murder, but no one shows up and the alleged killer could go free on bail or have the charges dropped altogether.
This is not the first time that her office has done something like this. Also, another prosecutor has resigned. That makes 3 in just two weeks and these are liberal DAs. I guess this is what happens when you are a liberal Soros butt-kissing Marxist. The judge in the murder trial has ordered Gardner into his court on the 24th to argue why she should not be found in contempt of court.
That happened to me one time. The judge asked me if I was displaying my contempt for his court and I told him. “No, sir. In fact, I am doing my best to hide it.” I never saw the gavel coming.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner could be held in contempt of court after a prosecutor in her office no-showed a murder trial Monday morning.
If Gardner fails to appear or show cause, then Judge Millikan could levy a fine against the city’s chief prosecutor, put her in jail, or both.

Jones and his public defender, attorney Cecilia Appleberry, were in court at 9 a.m. Monday for the scheduled start of a jury trial. When no one from the circuit attorney’s office appeared, Appleberry filed a motion to dismiss the case outright. The trial has delayed a week while Judge Millikan requests an audience with Gardner.
This latest blemish on Gardner’s public image comes just days after a prosecutor in her office abruptly resigned. Natalia Ogurkiewicz was the prosecutor in the Daniel Riley case. He’s the man accused in the tragic crash which caused Janae Edmondson to lose both her legs.
Gardner has used up more than her quota of second chances. She was found to have committed 62 corrupt acts in her prosecution of ex-governor Eric Greitens and she walked away as free as a bird. Gardner recently allowed another killer out on bond in the city. A different judge sanctioned Gardner for withholding evidence in a double-murder case and allowing that killer to go free. Let’s hope her past has finally caught up with her.
