Erick Buntyn of Madison, Illinois, was in attendance at Riley's assault trial in St. Louis and, shortly after the jury rendered a guilty verdict, Buntyn allegedly went out into the hall and said, "Fuck t ..read more

A prosecutor with the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office said in court today that they are open to Bosley receiving a six-month suspended sentence in the case.

Thursday 03/28 Off the Top Ropes The tragic story of the Von Erich family was memorably chronicled in last year's Zac Efron film The Iron Claw, an A24 production that was a near-universal hit among critics upon its release, even being named one of the top 10 films of the year by the National Board of Review. The true story behind the arthouse film is just as gripping as the one on the silver screen, and this week Gateway City Slam is here to tell — and show — you all about it ..read more

The last legal piece of the Russian-roulette style killing of one St. Louis police officer at the hands of another was settled yesterday in St. Louis Circuit Court — a quiet close to an incident that fueled scandalous headlines in early 2019. Yesterday’s hearing in front of Judge Bryan Hettenbach ended the civil lawsuit filed by the mother of police officer Katlyn Alix against former officer Nathaniel Hendren, two other officers and the city ..read more
