St. Louis has literally fucked up so bad at crime that the state is about to takeover the Circuit Prosecutor Attorney office and the entire Police Department. Crime is out of control with the locals running things.
SPECIAL PROSECUTORS (Section 56.601)
This act provides that the Governor, under certain conditions as provided in the act, may appoint one or more special prosecutors to have concurrent jurisdiction with any prosecuting or circuit attorney of this state. A special prosecutor shall have certain requirements as provided in the act.
A special prosecutor shall have concurrent jurisdiction to initiate and prosecute certain felony offenses which are referred to him or her by the Governor, including murder in the first and second degree, assault in the first and second degree, robbery in the first and second degree, and vehicle hijacking.
Once a special prosecutor commences prosecution for a case referred to him or her by the Governor, a special prosecutor may prosecute any additional violations that were part of the same course of criminal conduct. If the prosecuting or circuit attorney has commenced prosecution prior to the appointment of the special prosecutor, such prosecuting or circuit attorney shall immediately withdraw from the prosecution.
Any special prosecutor appointed by the Governor shall serve for a period of up to five years, unless the Governor appoints the prosecutor for an additional term. The Governor may terminate the appointment at any time and replace such special prosecutor.
