St. Louis Prosecutor Pleads Guilty to Covering Up for Cop Friend Who Beat Suspect
A St. Louis prosecutor covered-up for a St. Louis Metropolitan cop who brutally beat a handcuffed suspect and shoved a gun down his throat, chipping a tooth, resulting in the prosecutor’s conviction.
It’s a rare federal criminal conviction of a prosecuting attorney; a charge of misrprision of felony, which requires active steps to cover up a felony.
Bliss Barber Worrell, who admitted to the crime in July 2014, pleaded guilty Monday.
