More Cases May be Tried with New Circuit Judge

St. Francois Co., Mo. (KFMO) - Another Circuit Judge will be added to the 24th circuit.

Prosecuting Attorney for the St. Francois County, Blake Dudley, says having an additional judge should get time for his office to bring more cases to court.

Dudley says the new judge position was created by Missouri legislators. He adds the additional space created for legal offices through the county's purchase of the U.S. Bank building in Farmington will also help speed up the judicial process.
