ST. LOUIS — A circuit judge dismissed a 2020 murder case last week and said the Circuit Attorney’s Office “abandoned its duty” after St. Louis prosecutors failed three times to show for court hearings or respond to a court order to produce evidence.
No-show St. Louis prosecutors trigger dismissal of 2020 murder case

This decision was correct.
Unfortunately ~ "On Thursday, a day after Sengheiser dismissed Campbell’s case, a prosecutor with the Circuit Attorney’s Office refiled charges. A judge ordered Campbell held without bail on the newly filed charges."
As far as I am concerned the Gov shouldn't get multiple chances like that.
