St. Louis School Principal Faces Prison Time for Hiring Hitman in Tragic Affair
According to Black Enterprise, St. Louis principal named Cornelius M. Green is about to be sentenced for arranging the murder of his pregnant girlfriend Jocelyn Peters. This happened back in 2016 and Green recently admitted to being behind the terrible plan. He was having affairs with different people including Peters who got pregnant. Instead of dealing with the situation responsibly Green decided to use school money to pay a friend named Philip J. Cutler to kill Peters. Cutler traveled from Oklahoma to shoot Peters in her bedroom when she was almost due with her baby.

Green and Cutler Facing Justice for Jocelyn Peters Tragedy
The whole scheme came to light when investigators found text messages between Green and Cutler discussing the murder plan. Green even sent $2,500 to Cutler and used the school’s address on the package. After Peters was killed Green pretended to be shocked called the police and acted like he had just found out about the tragedy. Now he has pleaded guilty and might avoid the death penalty but could face life in prison. Green’s sentencing will be on June 5, and Cutler’s trial begins on March 11 for the same charges. The community is hoping for justice for Jocelyn Peters and her unborn child.
