Legal roundtable

Six years after Michael Brown was killed by a Ferguson police officer, his death continues to generate debate. The St. Louis on the Air Legal Roundtable discussed St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s decision to reopen and then close the case, as well as the lawsuit filed by a grand juror seeking to expose what happened behind closed doors in the criminal probe into Brown’s death.

Our Legal Roundtable dives into the case against St. Louis attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who became a cause célèbre after brandishing guns at protesters marching past their Midwestern palazzo. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has charged them with unlawful use of weapon, a felony, even as Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is attempting to intervene in the case, seeking to have the charges dropped. Attorneys Dave Roland, Mark Smith and Nicole Gorovsky also discussed a controversy in St. Louis County. Attorneys for the county have accused of lawyer Jerome Dobson of "effectively extorting" St. Louis County Executive Sam Page, to the tune of $3.5 million.
