St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gore Forges Historic Partnership with U.S. Attorney Fleming
June 27, 2023

ST. LOUIS, MO (June 7, 2023) — Eight Assistant U.S. Attorneys are now cross-designated to work in the Circuit Attorney’s Office. The agreement is the first of its kind in St. Louis.


“The extraordinary experience of these prosecutors will serve the City of St. Louis in new and unprecedented ways. I want to extend my sincere thanks to U.S. Attorney Sayler Fleming for her partnership,” said St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore. “This will immediately give us increased capacity to handle our most serious cases.”


Six of the attorneys were sworn-in this afternoon by St. Louis Circuit Judge Elizabeth Hogan. Two will be sworn in over the next few weeks, with several more later this summer. Each prosecutor will continue to maintain their federal caseloads while handling homicide cases pending in the City of St. Louis Circuit Court. Seven of the eight have more than 40 years of experience as St. Louis City or St. Louis County prosecutors alone.


“We have always worked closely with the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office, but today’s swearing in represents a significant expansion of that relationship,” said U.S. Attorney Sayler A. Fleming. “I’d like to thank Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore for allowing us to do our part to help the criminal justice system in the City of St. Louis.”
