An announcement last week from St. Louis County Police Chief Timothy Fitch has perked the ears of St. Louis criminal defense attorneys.

A man's father and his two children are suing after he was allegedly tasered 11 times by St. Louis County police during a delusional episode and died. Samuel De Boise was 29 and had experienced episodic mental illness before when he stripped naked on July 7, 2008, and left his parents' home in unincorporated St. Louis County. Over the next two days, he disappeared for a stretch, then returned and walked around the neighborhood banging on houses with a stick and claiming he was God. Finally, he assaulted his mother and demanded she worship him.

In June of that year, DNA evidence proved conclusively that an inmate named Larry Smith, serving a life sentence for another rape, was the guilty person.
At first glance, the St. Louis County Police crime lab looks like any scientist's cramped office - shelves overflowing with binders and books, bright lamps, microscopes and a wall of manila envelopes containing various specimens to study.

Chalk up another win for the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 15. Last week, St. Louis County Circuit Judge Colleen Dolan ruled that the city of Chesterfield must work fast to set up a way for the union's officers and sergeants to negotiate with the city.
