Federal prosecutors say they will again try two St. Louis officers accused of beating an undercover colleague.
Federal prosecutors said yesterday they will again try two former St. Louis Metropolitan Police officers accused of beating an undercover colleague.
The jury had deadlocked last week on one charge each against former officers Christopher Myers and Dustin Boone. Myers was found not guilty of a second, more serious charge in the two-week trial, while officer Steven Korte was fully acquitted and cannot be tried again.
The trio was charged with beating then-officer Luther Hall as he worked undercover at a Sept. 17, 2017 protest. The officers allegedly mistook Hall, who is Black, for a protester and left him with severe injuries to his jaw and neck, as well as a ruptured gall bladder and a concussion.
