This interview will be on “St. Louis on the Air” at noon on Wednesday. This story will be updated after the show. You can listen live.
A woman from Columbia, Missouri, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter after her boyfriend suffocated to death his three-month-old son. Emily Paul had pressured her boyfriend to do it.
On Wednesday’s St. Louis on the Air, our Legal Roundtable panelists will discuss that case and a variety of other local and regional issues. The other topics include a Ferguson landlord arguing that eviction moratoriums violate the state’s constitution and law and the Missouri legislature’s failure to pass a bill that would have given the state attorney general concurrent jurisdiction over cases under the purview of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner.
Joining the discussion will be:
- Bill Freivogel, journalism professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, as well as an attorney
- Mark Smith, associate vice chancellor and dean for career services at Washington University, as well as an attorney
- Susan McGraugh, professor at the St. Louis University School of Law and director of its criminal defense legal clinic
