2 years 1 month ago
A 22-year-old from Illinois who last year was accused of murdering his infant son was found not guilty on Thursday in a Perry County court after a three-day trial. The murder charges against Logan Hutchings and Sophia Kelly made national news (and the RFT, too) when they were filed by prosecutors last April. The couple's three-month-old infant had died in a St. Louis hospital in June 2022, two days after being brought there with a skull fracture and multiple rib fractures.

And if you’re looking for the ultimate viewing location, what better spot than the middle of the Mississippi River?

What We Know About the Hazelwood Fight That Hospitalized Kaylee Gain

2 years 1 month ago
Early last month, a video of a teen brutally beating 16-year-old Kaylee Gain and pounding her head against the pavement went viral, prompting nationwide outrage fueled by conservative social media accounts.  The video, shot near Hazelwood East High School, where Gain and her assailant are both students, appears to have been first widely circulated by the right-wing social media presence “Libs of TikTok” which is famous for its conspiracy theories and rage bait.  Now Gain’s assailant faces a hearing in juvenile court, police have referred eight others for possible charges in connection with the fight and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into the school district.
