Judicial misconduct allegations (2017)
In January 2017, the Missouri Supreme Court ordered Judge Mennemeyer to serve a six-month, unpaid suspension for violating judicial misconduct rules. A complaint was filed against the judge in 2014 by the director of the Missouri State Public Defender System, claiming that Mennemeyer was purposefully waiting to assign public defenders to cases until after the deadline for requesting a new judge in a case. The director also said that Mennemeyer threatened to file complaints against public defenders if they attempted to represent defendants before they had been assigned to the case. Mennemeyer's suspension began on February 1, 2017.[5]
