For the moment, it’s only Patricia McCloskey who’s had her charges amended, but the special prosecutor who took over the case after St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner was removed by a judge says Mark McCloskey could also be given the same amended charge in the near future.
The McCloskeys were originally facing felony charges of unlawful use of a weapon as well as evidence tampering, but Special Prosecutor Richard Callahan filed a new indictment on Monday adding the charge of misdemeanor harassment to Patricia McCloskey’s case. Callahan says when the case goes to trial in November, jurors will now have the option of convicting McCloskey on either the felony counts or the misdemeanor charge.. as well as the option of finding her and her husband not guilty.
