July 7, 2023
The U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Missouri has forged a new partnership with the St. Louis circuit attorney’s office, sending in at least eight federal prosecutors to help deal with its backlog of criminal cases.
U.S. Attorney Sayler Fleming told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the team of volunteers from her office will appear in at least 20 homicide cases. They will work alongside city prosecutors and help review other pending charges to determine whether cases can be quickly resolved or dismissed.
