St. Louis prosecutor says police asked for 'exclusion list' of officers [View all]
ST. LOUIS • St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s office said Friday that police officials were the ones who prompted the creation of a list of 28 officers who will be excluded as witnesses in criminal cases.
In a statement, Gardner’s office said “key leaders” in her office and the police department for months had been having “in-depth conversations about prosecutors’ concerns regarding the credibility of several city police officers.” A spokeswoman said police officials then asked for a physical list of officers’ names.
The list was originally “intended for internal purposes to ensure integrity in the system,” the statement says.
A lawyer who represents officers, Brian Millikan, said Friday that he had seen the full list and represented some of the officers on it.
