Supreme Court Rejects Appeal by St. Louis Couple Who Pointed Guns at Protestors

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal from the St. Louis, Missouri, couple who could have their law licenses indefinitely suspended after pointing guns at protestors near their home in 2020, Axios reports.

Personal injury attorney Mark McCloskey, who is running as a Republican for U.S. Senate in Missouri, and his wife and fellow attorney, Patricia McCloskey, had their licenses suspended indefinitely by the state Supreme Court last February after they pleaded guilty the year before to one count of fourth-degree assault. However, the court stayed those suspensions and put the McCloskeys on probation for a year. They later received a pardon from Missouri Gov. Mike Parson.
