Collapse of Prosecution

For John, BLUF:  Our judicial system works because we trust the system.  Mr George Soros seems to be taking actions that undermine that system.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Judge shreds Soros-backed prosecutor, moves to hold her in criminal contempt:  'Rudderless ship of chaos'

Here is the sub-headline:

Kimberly Gardner under fire for repeated no-shows in court as office struggles with staffing

From Fix News, by Reporter Aaron Kliegman, 29 April 2023, 12:56pm EDT.

Here is the lede plus one:

A Missouri judge on Thursday moved to hold a George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in "indirect criminal contempt" after she and her subordinates failed to show up for multiple court dates, lambasting her office as a "rudderless ship of chaos."

Judge Michael Noble announced he will appoint a special prosecutor to oversee the contempt case against St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, and Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Desilets after no one from Gardner's office appeared at a trial and subsequent hearing in an assault case involving the wounding of an 11-year-old girl.

"It appears that Ms. Gardner has complete indifference and a conscious disregard for the judicial process," Noble said during a hearing to address the no-shows.  "There is sufficient evidence of disdain and disrespect for the judicial process to determine that both Ms. Gardner and Mr. Desilets' conduct support a finding of indirect criminal contempt.  Furthermore, any attorney's violation of a court's order constitutes an intentional disobedience and shows a clear intent to disregard the power and authority of the judicial system process."

What is Mr George Soros thinking when he backs District Attorneys who are unwilling to prosecute low level crimes?  Has he not heard of the Broken Windows Theory?♠  Does he think that criminals just want to be free and will mature into law abiding citizens eventually?

What is it with Mr George Soros?  Was it his childhood, gowing up in occupied Hungary during WWII, that causes him to act this way?  Or, is this a low level effort to undermine our Anglo-Saxon form of Government?  In that he would not be alone amongst the Progressives.  Or is he trying to protect himself from the actions of Law Enforcement against him and his enterprises?
