She found herself in trouble again earlier this month when her team failed to appear at a murder trial. Judge Scott Millikan, who is overseeing the trial of Jonathan Jones, an 18-year-old accused of shooting a man in 2021, filed a motion declaring Gardner was in contempt of court for her failure to appear. <\/p>\n<p>Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey gave Gardner the opportunity to resign back in February, but when she refused to do so filed a quo warranto, the legal action allowing him to remove a prosecutor under state law, on Feb. 23. The filing included evidence from the very beginning of Gardner&#8217;s first term of absences in court, hiring a suspended lawyer, and mandatory non-disclosure agreements in her office among other things. <\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Gardner&#8217;s quo warranto hearing was held on April 18 to protesters in favor of the circuit attorney.
