CLAYTON | Jury finds in favor of accused minister

A St. Louis County jury has found in favor of a former Lutheran minister accused in a lawsuit of emotionally and sexually abusing a teenage girl.

The jury deliberated less than an hour Monday before finding in favor of 38-year-old Chris Watson. No damages were awarded to the teen, who is now a college freshman.

Watson served at the Church of the Resurrection. The teen alleged that in 2004 she was abused by Watson under the guise of counseling.

JEFFERSON CITY | Flags fly again at state Capitol

The flags are flying again at the Missouri Capitol.

After winds blew down the Capitol's lone remaining flag pole last week, the state facilities director said it could take six weeks to eight weeks before two new flag poles could be installed. But state officials found a way to erect a temporary aluminum pole for the U.S and Missouri flags. The 30-foot pole was taken from the site of the former state health lab.
