A George Soros-backed prosecutor reportedly delayed the armed robbery trial of an accused criminal in St. Louis prior to the suspect reportedly running down a young student this month and destroying both of her legs. 

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner was allegedly unprepared for the armed robbery trial of Daniel Riley last July "even though the robbery happened in 2020," local station KSDK reported this week.

Riley "had been on house arrest with a GPS bracelet up until that point and was supposed to remain that way until his next day in court," the network said, citing court records; he reportedly violated those terms multiple times, the most recent instance being earlier this month. 

The alleged criminal now stands accused of running into Tennessee athlete Janae Edmondson in downtown St. Louis, giving her injuries that caused her to lose both of her legs. 

Edmondson "was struck around 8:40 p.m. Saturday" in St. Louis, local network WTVG when "a gray Audi Q5 ran a yield sign at the intersection and hit a Chevy Malibu."

"The Malibu went airborne and hit Edmondson, pinning her between it and a parked car," the network said.

Riley has been charged with three counts of assault and other accusations connected to that incident.
