Kimberly Gardner should never be allowed to practice law again.
In an extraordinary rebuke to a prosecutor, a Missouri legal disciplinary panel on Tuesday concluded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner violated multiple legal ethics rules in her failed pursuit of a criminal case against ex-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens in 2018.
The panel ruled Gardner, whose campaign for St. Louis' chief prosecutor job was bankrolled by liberal mega-donor George Soros, should receive a public remand for transgressions that included withholding exculpatory evidence from Greitens' defense and failing to correct a false court filing.
The recommendation, which follows a deal between Gardner and the lawyers disciplinary counsel, now heads to the Missouri Supreme Court. You can read the full ruling here.
