Bob McCulloch, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney
Missouri Western State University will host “Speaking of Ferguson: A Political Science Forum featuring St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 13 in the Fulkerson Center on Missouri Western’s campus. The event is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by the St. Joseph branch of the NAACP, Buchanan County and the Department of Economics, Political Science and Sociology.
McCulloch was the prosecuting attorney in 2014, when a grand jury elected not to indict Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. He will talk about that process, and audience members will have the opportunity to submit questions through a moderator.
McCulloch has been the prosecuting attorney of St. Louis County since January 1991. After serving for one year as a law clerk for the Honorable Joseph G. Stewart of the Missouri Court of Appeals, he served as an assistant prosecuting attorney from 1978 to 1985. He was in private practice from 1985 until his election in 1990.
McCulloch is past president of the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. He serves on the Board of Directors of the National District Attorneys Association, a member of the Metropolitan Committee and Chairman of the National District Attorneys Association NAC oversight committee. McCulloch is also on the Advisory Board of LAAW, the Children’s Advocacy Center and several other victims’ rights organizations.
