Melissa Price-Smith Details Cracking Down on Gun Crime and Juvenile Offenders as She Fights to Keep Her Seat as St. Louis County Prosecutor

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price-Smith joins ahead of the August 4th primary to lay out the real changes she's made since taking office — reinstating the violent crime unit, launching the county's first-ever dedicated homicide unit, ending automatic probation for gun crimes, and expanding outreach to keep at-risk teens out of the system. She addresses the frustrating limits on prosecuting juvenile offenders and the urgent need for reform when it comes to teens committing violent crimes. Price-Smith also responds to her opponent's push to reopen the Ferguson case, a move dismissed as political theater rather than public safety. A tough-on-crime message that crosses party lines — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show.
