Jensen’s office dismissed a gun case on Nov. 26 investigated by Myers after the defendant’s lawyer said she would take the case to trial and subpoena Myers.

In a Nov. 19 hearing, lawyer Kristy Ridings said Myers and other officers involved in the case were on a list of officers who were no longer being used to prosecute cases, apparently a reference an “exclusion list” generated by city prosecutors earlier this year.

That list, of 28 officers whom the office would no longer use while pursuing criminal charges, had led to the dismissal of just 12 felony cases as of mid-September. Most of those charges involved drugs or guns.

The disclosure of the existence of the list by the Post-Dispatch in August prompted furious complaints from the St. Louis Police Officers Association.

Business Manager Jeff Roorda has said some officers were on it because they asserted their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in police shooting cases in which police conduct was still being reviewed. He said the list was “dangerous” to both police and public safety.
