ST. LOUIS St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has asked the Missouri Attorney General to prosecute three high-profile death penalty cases – a move that comes amid increasing criticism of how her office is handling cases.
The cases include Cornelius Green, a former St. Louis public school principal who has been accused of hiring a hitman to kill his pregnant girlfriend, a third-grade teacher in March 2016.

Prosecutors from Gardner’s office filed a motion to have a special prosecutor assigned to Cutler’s case as well.
