ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Eight prosecutors in the US Attorney’s Office in St. Louis will be tasked with helping the St. Louis Circuit Attorney (CAO) with homicide cases, it was announced Tuesday.
The move comes as new St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore works through a backlog that accumulated under former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. All of the prosecutors will continue to work on federal cases while they work with the CAO. Six of the attorneys were sworn in Tuesday afternoon. Two will be sworn in over the next few weeks, authorities say.
