Progressive Soros-backed St. Louis prosecutor resigns amid incompetence claims

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey took legal steps to remove Gardner from office in February, citing too many cases, including homicides, that have gone unpunished under Gardner's watch.
Gardner argued that Bailey's efforts to remove her were politically and racially motivated.
Gardner's office has faced criticism for mishandling cases and office dysfunction, with nearly 12,000 criminal cases dismissed due to her failures.
Bailey filed a petition to remove Gardner from office after a teenage volleyball player lost both legs in a crash involving a man out on bond for a separate armed robbery case.
Gardner's resignation is effective June 1, but Bailey is calling on her to leave office immediately, and her office is facing two proceedings for contempt of court.
