If this does proceed to some sort of litigation the details will be compelling: Was the last conversation between Shanya Jenkins and AH recorded?? Were there any other phone calls?? If so did Shanya know of his pending plan?? What was in the actual notes he left?? Did he inscribe John 3:16 on his forehead?? Did he tell other inmates whether he was planning this?? Was there a mental health evaluation done on Easter Weekend?? Was he checked after he went into his cell(difficult to believe he was not)??... Every action outside of his cell is on CCTV and every action in his cell is probably recorded after he was found..
I used to work corrections, and unfortunately was involved in a couple of similar sitz, press can say whatever they want to say, but the Mas DOC usually do not say much which invites a lot of speculation disguised a free speech... CO's can possibly become civilly or criminally liable if they did not do their job... was always told the most heinous sins were those of omission.
