ST. LOUIS A federal grand jury did not return a single guilty verdict Monday in the trial of three St. Louis Police officers accused of beating an undercover detective during a 2017 protest downtown.
St. Louis Police officer Steven Korte was found not guilty on all counts. Former officer Chris Myers was found not guilty on a civil rights charge. The jury did not reach a verdict on a charge of destruction of evidence. The jury also did not reach a verdict on the civil rights charge against former officer Dustin Boone.
Detective Luther Hall was working undercover with a partner during the 2017 Jason Stockley protests. They were documenting potential crimes when they got split up in the chaos on the night of Sunday, Sept. 17.

Sounds like Boone could still be held accountable ... he was released on bond

not set free outright, and it was a mistrial. Which I believe means he is not acquitted for the civil rights charge.
Maybe there will be another trial, and the outcome will be different.
