Alabama inmate letter
Published: November 29, 2008
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - An attorney is describing a letter from an inmate who said he witnessed a group of prison guards fatally
beating Farron Barksdale as “disturbing” and “shocking.“
Attorney Jake Watson of Huntsville said, “It goes to what we’ve been saying all along in the open records lawsuit. It’s an important document. That’s a disturbing letter.“
The Oct. 24 letter was sent to Montgomery County Circuit Judge Eugene Reese. He gave the last name of three guards and said there was a fourth.
Barksdale killed two Athens police officers in January 2004 and was three days into serving a life sentence when he was found unconconscious in a cell in August 2007.
