United States v. Walt Lucas, 157 F.3d 998 (5 th Cir. 1998).
Summary: Handled civil rights investigation and prosecution of Warden of the Pearl River
County, Mississippi Jail for sexually assaulting and/or raping several women inmates under his
care, custody and control. Defendant pleaded guilty on the first day of trial. When the judge
sentenced him to less time than the guidelines called for because, contrary to the defendant's
written plea agreement, he found that the woman prisoner "consented," the Department of
Justice pursued an appeal, and the sentence was reversed and remanded for sentencing as a rape
case. This case involved extensive work in the Mississippi penal system on my part with
inmates and guards as well as the handling of DNA evidence.
