ST. LOUIS - One of five white St. Louis police officers accused of beating a Black undercover colleague during a 2017 protest took the stand Monday to testify against his former colleagues.
Former officer Randy Hays pleaded guilty in November to one felony count of deprivation of rights under color of law and admitted hitting officer Luther Hall three to five times with a baton and shoving him to the ground.
Hays’ girlfriend at the time, former Officer Bailey Colletta, also pleaded guilty for her role in the assault.
Two former officers, Dustin Boone and Christopher Myers, along with current officer Steven Korte, are on trial this week for their roles in the attack.
Prosecutors questioned Hays about text messages he exchanged with Boone the day after the assault, in which Hays told Boone he felt justified in his use of force that night because he believed Hall resisted and wrote if Hall had been just a protester, there “wouldn’t be a problem at all.”
