Crime prosecutions DOUBLE in St. Louis after new DA Gabe Gore takes over following George Soros backed Kim Gardner's resignation

The new St. Louis district attorney has doubled the amount of criminal prosecution in his first three months in office, compared to his ultra-woke disgraced predecessor did and the same time last year. 

Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore, 54, replaced democrat Kim Gardner, 48, in May after the George Soros-backed attorney resigned amid pressure from Missouri‘s Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican.

Gardner faced criticism for her lax enforcement of crimes that saw criminals back on the streets of St. Louis facing little punishment even as crime spiked throughout the Midwest hub.

Gore was sworn in on May 31 and has already filed over 1,400 cases in the past three months, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch found. 

Kim Gardner filed only 620 in the same three-month period during her time last year.

‘I don’t think there’s any magic to what we’re doing,’ Gore told the Post-Dispatch. ‘We are just charging the violations of law.’

The crime-ridden city saw a surge in charges after their new circuit attorney’s office spent more time reviewing cases applied for by St. Louis police and prioritized less severe offenses that were largely unprosecuted under Gardner – which Gore called ‘quality of life crimes.’ 

‘These are things that drive people out of the city,’ Gore said. ‘These are things that can’t be considered to be the cost of living somewhere.’

Gardner’s approach to crime centered around prevention including punishing low-level crimes with diversion to mental health facilities or drug abuse treatment centers.

She pledged to hold police more accountable and to free inmates who were wrongfully convicted. 

In 2019, Gardner announced an ‘exclusion list’ that listed about 75 police officers in St. Louis who were no longer allowed to bring cases to her office because their ‘integrity is compromised’. 

Gore’s office has been working through a backlog of pending charges left over from Gardner’s time in office. 

One of the final cases that Gardner oversaw was a Cinco de Mayo shooting, which the DA refused to press charges against the suspected woman for due to a ‘lack of evidence’ despite surveillance images of the suspect wielding a gun.

According to Gardner’s office the suspect – Amber Booker, 33 – wasn’t charged due to a ‘lack of evidence’ and the victims not cooperating with the investigation.

Under her watch, murder in St. Louis hit a 50-year high and the city saw less and less felonies prosecuted.

One of the Republican lawmakers who called for Gardner’s resignation was Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, 63, who called for the democrat DA to resign after freeing the man who struck a teenage volleyball player with a car leading her to lose both her legs.

‘Instead of protecting victims, Circuit Attorney Gardner is creating them,’ Bailey wrote in a statement. ‘The driver of the speeding vehicle, Daniel Riley, should never have been in that car. He is a dangerous gunman who should have been in jail.’
