Wesley Bell won!


?itok=ZZWbpj2I

A councilman from Ferguson, Mo. defeated St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch during Tuesday's Democratic primary, according to The Associated Press.

The AP reported that Wesley Bell topped McCulloch by a 57 to 43 percent margin, marking an end to McCulloch's seven-term career as a prosecutor.


The news service notes that McCulloch gained national attention four years ago for his handling of the investigation into the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
No Republicans are on the ballot in the race for St. Louis County prosecutor, meaning Bell is set to take the position after the November election.
