The Missouri attorney general is calling for the resignation of a St. Louis prosecutor — after a motorist who repeatedly violated his bond conditions crashed and injured a teenage volleyball player who had to have both of her legs amputated.
Janae Edmondson, a 16-year-old player in town for a volleyball tournament, was injured Saturday night when the crash left her pinned between two cars in downtown St. Louis while walking back to a hotel with her family. The high school senior, from Smyrna, Tennessee, was in stable condition, her coach said, but faced complications that could keep her hospitalized for weeks.
A judge on Tuesday ordered Riley held without bond after Riley’s attorney, Daniel Diemer, argued for a reduced bond, saying Riley had no serious criminal history other than the robbery charge. At that same hearing, Edmondson’s parents said her father used his military training to stem the bleeding with tourniquets made of belts until paramedics arrived.
