A coalition of racial justice groups in the St. Louis region has released its Prosecutor Watch: An Introduction report.


It's the first of a planned series taking a critical look at the St. Louis and St. Louis County prosecutor offices.


“We hope that the prosecutors in St. Louis city and county take this opportunity to make their offices more transparent and accountable,” said Jia Lian Yang, the director of storytelling and communications for Forward Through Ferguson. “We’ve actually never seen that in the region, and at this point this is a standard that we are demanding that the prosecutors meet.”
