(St. Francois County, MO) Staff members in the St. Francois County Prosecuting Attorney's Office are working through a back log of cases that need to be researched fully before they can be sent to trial. St. Francois County Prosecuting Attorney, Blake Dudley, says his team has been working through them as quickly as possible.
According to Dudley, case discovery, which is what his team is working through, is needed to avoid any surprises the opposition may try to bring up in the court room. Case discovery allows each member of the legal team to find ways through cases.
