Missouri Governor Says He Will Pardon The McCloskeys

The armed St. Louis couple who confronted Black Lives Matters protesters outside their house are all but guaranteed an immediate pardon if they’re convicted, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said Wednesday.

“We’ll let it play out and see how this all comes out in the courts,” Parson said at a press briefing before saying he would “most certainly” stand by his July pledge to pardon Mark and Patricia McCloskey.

The McCloskeys, who were already charged with unlawful use of a weapon, were indicted for evidence tampering by a grand jury Tuesday.“They broke down our gate, they trespassed on our property. Not a single one of those people are now charged with anything,” Mark McCloskey said after the hearing. “We’re charged with felonies that could cost us four years of our lives and our law license.”

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said Wednesday he “most certainly would” pardon a St. Louis couple if they are convicted of gun charges after waving guns at protesters walking in front of their home this summer.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey were indicted Tuesday on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with evidence arising from their confrontation with the demonstrators in their private neighborhood.

Parson had said earlier that he would pardon the couple and he repeated that pledge during a news conference Wednesday.

“We’ll let it play out and see how this all comes out in the courts, but I stand by what I said,” he said.
