October 3, 2023

ST LOUIS— Recently retired Missouri Supreme Court Judge George Draper III has been named to a newly created job of “chief training officer” in the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office, promising to share the experience he gained from serving on the bench and as a prosecutor.


He will start on Oct. 23, with an annual salary of $120,000.


The appointment of Draper is the latest shakeup for a St. Louis prosecutor’s office that only recently emerged from years of controversy under Kim Gardner. She resigned in May and was replaced by Gabe Gore, who announced Draper’s appointment on Tuesday.
