ST. LOUIS (AP) — An upcoming law school lecture by St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch is drawing criticism from some Saint Louis University students and professors who object to his handling of the investigation of Michael Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson.
McCulloch is set to speak at a Feb. 20 law school event on police practices after Ferguson. He’ll be joined at the student law review symposium by County Police Chief Jon Belmar and social scientists from five other universities, including American, South Carolina and Wake Forest.

“The reality is, the university has done a lot to be a part of the solution,” said law professor Brendan Roediger, who opposes McCulloch’s appearance. “This undoes a lot of that work.”
