Deadline for Kim Gardner to respond to ousting effort today

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:40:11 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Tuesday is the deadline for embattled St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner to respond to the court filing by Missouri's attorney general to oust her from office.  At this point, there's no official response from Gardner to the move by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. A judge has weighed in, saying last month that if Gardner does not respond by Tuesday's deadline, then she could face a judgment by default.Bailey initially called on Gardner to resign in the wake of the horrible crash last month downtown that resulted in 17-year-old Janae Edmondson of Tennessee, resulting in her losing her legs. When Gardner refused to step down, Bailey filed a motion called 'Quo Warranto,' to try and remove her from office. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.

That's the new law that eliminates cash bail in the state.A Kankakee County judge ruled in favor of attorneys across the state who called it unconstitutional. Democrats made significant changes to the bill in their November veto session. That got some of the bill's biggest critics onboard, but the lawsuit still continues.Governor JB Pritzker said this case is the republican's last attempt to overrule the law. Top story: Hermann officer dead, 1 injured after Sunday shooting "It's the last refuge of those who can't win at the ballot box to take something to court to try to have it overturned, even though they are wrong when they say it's unconstitutional," Pritzker expressed.Republicans are looking at an article in the Illinois Constitution for their argument in this case. It guarantees people bail by "sufficient sureties". Both sides will debate whether "sureties" are only defined as money.
