Don't Let The Door

Well maybe let it.

The Missouri Supreme Court announced Monday that it will take the "extraordinary action" of reassigning all Ferguson municipal court cases to the circuit court, starting next week.

In a press release, the court announced the move was intended "to help restore public trust and confidence in the Ferguson municipal court division."

Ferguson municipal judge Ronald J. Brockmeyer resigned his position this afternoon, a spokesman at his law office said. He will continue his other municipal court positions, including as prosecutor in Dellwood and judge in Breckenridge Hills.
