The family of James Scales Jr. is suing St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and several city employees, including members of the police department, over claims that prosecutors mishandled their son's murder case. James was shot at his bus stop in 2017 while waiting to go to school and was believed to have been murdered to keep him from testifying after he was the sole witness to another murder. The family claims that James did not receive witness protection, something he was entitled to under Missouri law, and that the prosecutor's office oversees.
