Former St Louis undercover officer gets $23m after beating by police colleagues

Luther Hall was severely injured by his own colleagues while undercover at a 2017 protest in Missouri

A Missouri judge awarded more than $23m to a former St Louis police officer who was beaten by other officers while working undercover at a protest in 2017.

On Monday Luther Hall was awarded the significant sum in a default judgment by Joseph Whyte, the St Louis circuit judge, after one of the defendants failed to respond to a lawsuit over the 2017 attack.
