St. Louis Prosecutor Gabe Gore Increases Prosecutions Amid Crime Crackdown

In his first six months, Gore has resolved 2,500 cases from the city's backlog, mostly violent crimes, and is considering running for a full term.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore has prosecuted 45% more violent crimes in the six months following the departure of his progressive predecessor, Kim Gardner.
Gore's office has resolved approximately 2,500 criminal cases from the city's backlog, mostly violent crimes.
Gore, an appointee of Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, has yet to decide whether he'll seek a full term in office next year.
Gore inherited 250 homicide cases, of which 53 have been resolved and charges have been made in 37 new cases since he took office.
Gore has hired a director of community engagement and appointed a former judge to lead a new conviction integrity unit to examine possible cases of wrongful convictions.
