A St. Louis man with a lengthy criminal record who was sitting in  jail on a domestic violence charge had his $5,000 bail paid by a  non-profit. Then, Samuel Lee Scott, 54, walked out of jail and allegedly beat his wife to death.  Cops say Scott was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the slaying of Marcia Johnson, 54. Scott  was originally charged April 5 with misdemeanour domestic assault for  allegedly punching Johnson in the face in January. Her ear and cheekbone  were injured in the attack.  Just hours after nonprofit group St.  Louis Bail Project paid Scott’s bail, he went to his wife’s house and  allegedly murdered her.  The St. Louis Circuit  Attorney’s Office said Scott threatened that he “might as well finish  what (he) started since (she) was going to contact the police.”
 

A  neighbour discovered the badly beaten woman, who “was unconscious, had a  broken eye socket, several broken ribs, and was bruised from head to  toe,” police said. She died Sunday and police say her husband admitted he had hit her. The accused killer is now being held on a $1-million bond... the Bail Project is a national organization that provides bail money for people who can’t afford it...
