ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – He beat up his teacher in the classroom, now he’ll be spending many years in prison. Video of the attack was caught by a surveillance camera at the Innovative Concept Academy in North St. Louis. It shows 15-year-old Kevin Straub pummeling his 42-year-old teacher. Prosecutor Jeffrey Ernst said, “It absolutely was a brutal crime and it happened in a school which is so troubling about the whole thing.”
The beating was so severe the teacher suffered a stroke, doctors still aren’t sure if the man will lose his sight. The victim’s mother-in-law said the father of her grandchildren is a very giving man, “He’s a good person, good person, a good father.”
