ST. LOUIS � Update: A new judge was appointed on Wednesday to oversee the attorney general�s efforts to remove Kim Gardner from office.
According to online court documents, Judge Thomas N Chapman was appointed
to oversee the case.
Chapman is an appeals court judge appointed to the western district of
Missouri by Governor Mike Parson in 2018.
Original story:
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has asked for a new judge to
oversee the Missouri attorney general's efforts to remove her from office
� but the attorney general's office is asking the judge to make one more crucial decision before he is replaced.
Gardner�s attorneys, Jonathan Sternberg and Michael Downey, filed a motion
for a change of judge Friday to remove Judge John Torbitzky.
Requesting a change of judge is a right both sides are given, and
attorneys do not need to state their reasons for seeking it. Gardner�s
motion is a one-sentence document that doesn�t cite any reason for the
request.
Appointing a new judge to the case will take time, as the Missouri Supreme Court must appoint the replacement. Once a new judge is appointed,
Gardner�s team cannot ask to change that judge, but the attorney general�s office can.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey�s legal team filed a response to Gardner�s request for a change of judge Saturday, saying Torbitzky already heard arguments about Gardner�s motion to dismiss the attorney general�s lawsuit against her, so he should at least rule on that motion before he
is replaced.
Torbitzky will determine whether to grant Bailey�s motion.
It�s unclear what the request will mean for a scheduled series of hearings Torbitzky ordered to take place on the first and third Tuesdays of every
month leading up to a trial � should he have determined to move forward
with one.
