Hour 1 - St. Louis County Council Rejects Prosecutor Pick; New Charges Against Luigi Mangione

The Chris and Amy Show on KMOX

In this hour, we dive into two major stories shaping St. Louis. First, the St. Louis County Council’s unanimous rejection of County Executive Sam Page’s pick for top prosecutor. This move could have political consequences for Sam Page, who faces opposition from the Democrat-majority county council. We also discuss the legal and ethical implications surrounding the claim that a County Executive associate may have asked Melissa Price Smith to dig up dirt on a political opponent. Then, Anna Schecter provides an update on the disturbing case involving Luigi Mangione, who now faces 11 counts, including first-degree murder and terrorism charges after killing the United Healthcare CEO. We explore the charges and how prosecutors are positioning the case as an act of terrorism. Additionally, former St. Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Schattenkirk joins to reflect on his remarkable 14-year NHL career, his Stanley Cup win, Olympic journey, and cherished memories from his time with the Blues and the St. Louis hockey community.
