"Married principal pleads guilty to hiring hitman to kill pregnant teacher"

Married St. Louis middle school principal Cornelius M. Green pleaded guilty to orchestrating the murder of his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn baby in a 2016 murder-for-hire plot. Green, who was involved in multiple romantic relationships despite being married, hired a friend to carry out the killing, using stolen money from the school he oversaw. He then traveled to Chicago to establish an alibi for the murder. His sentencing is set for June 5, while his accomplice, Phillip J. Cutler, is also facing federal charges.
