Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St Louis couple who armed themselves and confronted BLM protestors outside their home in 2020, have had their misdemeanour convictions overturned by a judge.
The two attorneys filed a request in January to have their convictions expunged, and on Wednesday Judge Joseph P. Whyte granted their request. The purpose of such an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance. Prosecutors and protestors opposed the move.
Republican Governor Mike Parson had already pardoned the couple after they pled guilty to misdemeanour assault in 2021.
The McCloskeys are now requesting the return of their weapons, which were seized after their arrest.
“It’s time for the city to cough up my guns,” Mark McCloskey told the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
McCloskey says he will file a lawsuit if the guns are not returned.
The McCloskeys became prominent symbols of the plight of ordinary hard-working Americans in the face of the widespread mob violence during the summer of 2020. Unlike others who submitted to having their businesses and homes wrecked, they fought back, exercising their constitutional right to defend their homes with legally owned weapons.
