ST. LOUIS — Update: Kim Gardner will step down as St. Louis circuit attorney on Tuesday.
The governor's office confirmed they received an email Tuesday morning that Gardner would be leaving office later in the day. She had previously announced she would be resigning on June 1.
It was not immediately clear what effect this may have on the hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
Original story:
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will be back in a St. Louis courtroom Tuesday in Bailey's effort to remove Gardner from office.
Tuesday's hearing will be the first in the quo warranto case since Gardner announced her resignation, which is effective June 1. Bailey has said his office will continue to try to remove Gardner from office and there is no reason for her to remain in office until June.
A notice of hearing said Gardner's office on Tuesday will present its motion to stay discovery in the case and present objections to a request for a protective order filed by Bailey's office and objections to protocols for electronic documents in the case.
Judge Christopher Hinckley has allowed cameras in the courtroom for the hearing.
