Bailey has been fighting Hemme’s freedom since she was first ruled innocent this summer. After Horsman overturned her conviction, Bailey vigorously opposed her release from prison. Bailey took his fight all the way to the Missouri Supreme Court. And even after the high court ordered her release, Bailey told the prison warden to ignore the court’s order.

Wow. A real piece of shit for an AG.
