Andrew Bailey said the investigation was prompted by reports from Columbia residents alleging racial discrimination.

The Jackson County Legislature passed the ordinance last year after the shootings at the Super Bowl rally that killed one and injured 22 people. Attorney General Andrew Bailey says it's unconstitutional; Legislator Manny Abarca says Bailey protects guns over people.

With the state now overseeing the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Bailey will represent the agency when it's facing certain litigation.

Even though Black drivers only make up around 11% of the state's population, they were pulled over by law enforcement nearly two times as much as white drivers.

A newly enacted law allows the attorney general to challenge temporary injunctions, a move inspired by a pending abortion-rights case.

The appeal came right after Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a bill that gives the attorney general the right to appeal temporary pauses against state laws or constitutional provisions.

The legislation also gives the Attorney General the ability to appeal preliminary injunctions on ongoing cases.

Years of legal wrangling have come to an end for a woman who spent 43 years behind bars for a killing that her attorneys argue was committed by a discredited police officer.

The leader of Planned Parenthood Great Plains says the move is a ploy to prevent a Jackson County judge from potentially knocking down other abortion restrictions.

Republicans won all the statewide offices up for election Tuesday including attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and lieutenant governor.
