A former Missouri principal, Cornelius Green, has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison after admitting to hiring his friend to kill his pregnant girlfriend in 2016. Green, who was the principal at Carr Lane Visual and Performing Arts Middle School in St. Louis, used stolen funds from the school to finance the murder-for-hire plot.
Green's girlfriend, Jocelyn Peters, who was seven months pregnant at the time, was tragically killed by Green's friend, Phillip Cutler, who was also charged and sentenced to the same punishment. Cutler used a silencer made from a potato to shoot Peters while she was sitting at her kitchen table preparing baby shower invitations.
