A former St. Louis police officer was sentenced to 52 months in prison Tuesday, nearly four years after he beat a Black fellow officer who was working undercover at a protest in 2017.
Randy Hays, 34, faced up to 10 years in prison for taking part in the beating of Detective Luther Hall but will serve four years in federal prison in addition to two years of probation after the prosecution and defense requested 70 and 36 months respectively.
Hays pleaded guilty in 2019 to a felony count of deprivation of civil rights under the color of law, but remained free pending his sentencing hearing.
