The number of charges filed in crime-ridden St. Louis, Missouri, has already more than doubled in just three months since George Soros-backed progressive prosecutor Kim Gardner resigned in disgrace, it emerged Friday.
Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore, 54, took over from Gardner, 48, after she suddenly quit in May amid multiple efforts to remove her as murders reached a 50-year high.
Since he was sworn in on May 31, Gore has already filed 1,400 cases — more than double the 620 cases Gardner filed during the same period last year, according to a review of cases by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
That surge was in part from prosecuting cases ignored by his progressive predecessor, who left behind a list of more than 4,500 pending charge applications, the report said.
“I don’t think there’s any magic to what we’re doing,” Gore said. “We are just charging the violations of the law.”
