St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced Thursday that she is resigning from her position effective June 1.
Gardner announced her resignation in a letter sent to Gov. Mike Parson , in which she said it"has been an honor of a lifetime to serve the people of the City of St. Louis." pic.twitter.com/Lim2wlVhSF"The most powerful weapon I have to fight back against these outsiders stealing your voices and your rights is to step back. I took this job to serve the people of the City of St. Louis, and that still my North star.
Bailey had accused Gardner of neglecting her job by taking nursing classes at the St. Louis University School of Nursing rather than performing her duties. "There is absolutely no reason for the Circuit Attorney to remain in office until June 1. We remain undeterred with our legal quest to forcibly remove her from office. Every day she remains puts the city of St. Louis in more danger. How many victims will there be between now and June 1? How many defendants will have their constitutional rights violated? How many cases will continue to go unprosecuted?" Bailey tweeted.

Embattled 1st Black St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner resignsEmbattled St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is resigning effective June 1 amid calls from Republican leaders for her ouster. Gardner, a Democrat, is the city’s first Black prosecutor. Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey took legal steps to remove her from office in February, alleging negligence. Bailey has said too many cases, including homicides, have gone unpunished under Gardner’s watch, that victims and their families are left uninformed, and that the prosecutor’s office is too slow to take on cases brought by police. Gardner has said Bailey’s efforts to remove her are politically and racially motivated.
