  • John Hancock and Michael Kelley join Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors on 'The Chris and Amy Show' to talk about the controversy on who appoints new County Prosecuting Attorney.

The article from MSN discusses a controversy involving St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, as covered by Hancock and Kelley on their show. The controversy centers around Bell's decision to drop charges against a man accused of shooting at police officers, which has led to significant public and political backlash. Critics argue that this decision reflects poorly on Bell's judgment and could endanger law enforcement. The discussion includes perspectives from both supporters and detractors of Bell, examining the implications of his prosecutorial discretion, the potential political motivations behind his decisions, and the broader impact on community trust in the justice system. The conversation also touches on the racial dynamics at play, given Bell's position as the first Black prosecuting attorney in St. Louis County, and how this case might influence his political future.
