WAIT, WHAT? Circuit attorney drops Greitens case, asks for special prosecutor to refile charge. “In a stunning development, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner on Monday dropped her prosecution of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens in the face of the defense team’s plan to call her to the stand. Gardner’s office asked the court to appoint a special prosecutor to refile the felony invasion-of-privacy charge against the governor. Jim Bennett, the governor’s attorney, rejected the notion that charges would necessarily be refiled and called for the judge to unseal all documents in the case.” I haven’t followed this wild case as closely as I probably should have. It’s certainly wild.
