...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...-funded prosecutor said during a criminal justice town hall discussion, according to KDSK News news hound Mark Maxwell. "I lost a lot of attorneys because they were afraid to do what’s right."
Gardner additionally claimed that saboteurs inside her office were attempting to undermine her and that the police union only agreed to "let" her remain if office if she refused to hold them accountable.
Judge Michael Noble announced Thursday he would appoint a special prosecutor to build the case against Gardner after her office failed to show up for several high-profile assault prosecutions.
"It appears that Ms. Gardner has complete indifference and a conscious disregard for the judicial process," Noble said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gardner’s office resembled a "rudderless ship of chaos," he added.
In addition to her legal troubles, Gardner is also facing a lawsuit from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey attempting to remove her over repeated instances where her office allegedly failed to enforce the law.
"This is about protecting the people of the city of St. Louis, restoring the rule of law, and finding justice for victims. We brought this suit to remove a prosecutor who has refused to perform her duties to the people of St Louis," Bailey said in March after filing the suit.
