Former ERDC Corrections Officer Trial Set
2 days ago
(Jefferson City, Mo.) A former Corrections Officer of the Eastern Reception Diagnostic and Correctional Center at Bonne Terre, Jacob Case, will stand trial in February over charges relating to the 2023 death of 38 year old Othel Moore Jr., an inmate at the Jefferson City Correctional Center. Information from the CaeseNet website shows Case is charged with Murder in the 2nd Degree and Accessory to Assault in the 3rd Degree. Court documents indicate Moore died shortly after a search for contraband at the correctional facility. Witnesses say Moore cooperated with officers yet was still pepper sprayed and secured in a restraint chair after being placed in leg restraints and a hood. It’s also reported Moore pleaded with officers because he couldn’t breathe. The medical examiner in the case classified Moore’s death as a homicide after finding Moore died of positional asphyxiation from being held in the chair for over 30 minutes. Two additional officers charged in the case, Bryanne Bradshaw and Justin Leggins have trail settings scheduled for February as well. Leggins is charged Assault in the 3rd Degree and Involuntary Manslaughter in the 2nd Degree while Bradshaw faces charges of Murder in the 2nd Degree and Accessory to Assault 2nd Degree.
