ST. LOUIS — The Circuit Attorney's Office on Monday dismissed more than a dozen charges — including three counts of first-degree murder — against a man whose case was set for trial this week.
After Circuit Judge Thom C. Clark II denied the state's request to postpone Marquise R. Henderson's trial in the 3½-year-old case, the prosecutor dismissed multiple felony counts against Henderson.
Henderson, of Bellefontaine Neighbors, was among five men indicted on 30 counts in August 2016 in four homicides, shootings and a carjacking tied to guns St. Louis police seized from a home. Police linked the crimes after seizing guns from a home in the 4500 block of Minnesota Avenue.
Assistant Circuit Attorney Krista Boston filed a memo Monday dismissing charges of first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action, and three counts of first-degree murder. Boston had sought a continuance in Henderson's trial, saying prosecutors were "not yet ready to proceed."
"This request is not made in an attempt to prejudice the defendant or to simply delay proceedings," Boston wrote in her motion to postpone the trial.
