• St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat whose campaign received donations from megadonor George Soros, is facing new complaints of potential misconduct and negligence as she already is battling the Missouri attorney general’s efforts to compel her resignation.
• While Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey began removal proceedings against Gardner in February over her mishandling of numerous cases, she is under renewed scrutiny for her actions over the past week.
• A St. Louis judge sanctioned Gardner’s office earlier in the week for delaying evidence related to a double homicide case, according to local NBC affiliate KSDK. Alex Heflin, 23, had been held without bond since January after he was charged with two second-degree murder counts and armed criminal action, but the charges were reduced to voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.
