High turnover rate in Kim Gardner's office as more prosecutors resign and face contempt hearings.

Two prosecutors, Chris Desilets and Alex Polta, have resigned from the St. Louis prosecutor's office amid escalating criticism and contempt proceedings against the office. The departures leave only a few prosecutors to handle hundreds of serious violent felony cases in the city. Gardner's office has faced criticism for understaffing and organizational dysfunction, and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a suit to remove Gardner from office.
