The Saint Louis couple who stood their ground against protesters has been confirmed as having been the victims of a conspiracy by the city's DA.
The revolver the wife had with her was not a working gun during the incident, and it was inoperable when it got to St. Louis police after the sketchy seizure. They were ordered to
reassemble it in working order to comply with the charges that said it was a deadly weapon ready to fire at the crowd.
Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley stated in charging documents that the gun was "readily capable of lethal use"
