00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:05.879
M hm.

2
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:26.079
A wall Street line, shackle change. Oh some girdie, it's

3
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.320
calling my name.

4
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:36.240
There is no mercy and it's been a tentery juice

5
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.719
as the huge stream game Rango three.

6
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:43.600
Come here be.

7
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:54.280
By mere to die inside these walls, inside the wild

8
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.679
and when the girls I.

9
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.079
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Bloody Angola, A podcast

10
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.120
one and forty two years in the making, the complete

11
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.200
story of America's bloodiest prison. I'm Jim Chapman, and today

12
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.040
I am continuing with the Shallow Grave series. This is

13
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.920
part three and the last time that I left you.

14
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.680
Roy Michlaughlin Junior had sued several people in Bloody Angola

15
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.599
for an alleged beating incident that occurred after his third

16
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.280
attempt at escape. And when that dust settled, three correctional

17
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:10.080
officers were found guilty and Roy had won what turned

18
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.360
out to be an eight thousand dollars settlement. So I

19
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.719
may mention that while I was researching this case, one

20
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.719
of the correctional officers, Mark Sharp, this was not his

21
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.919
first radio with getting in some legal trouble. So in

22
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.919
January of twenty eleven, a fifteen year old girl who

23
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.919
lived on the beeline where the families live right unexpectedly

24
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:43.039
gives birth and an investigation obviously gets started because of this.

25
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.879
And following that investigation, Mark Sharp is arrested and charged

26
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.879
with felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Now, in March

27
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.159
of twenty thirteen, he pleads no contests to that charge,

28
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.400
which essentially meant he would void a trial, but he

29
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.560
would accept the legal consequences of his actions. In April

30
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:11.080
of twenty thirteen, he is sentenced to five years in prison,

31
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:16.080
with two of those years suspended, so essentially three years

32
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.840
in prison, five years probation, and he was ordered to

33
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.639
pay a little over twenty four thousand dollars to compensate

34
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:30.120
the family for expenses incurred as a result of that childbirth. Now,

35
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.879
if you're curious how they were able to confirm he

36
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.520
was the father, DNA evidence confirmed him as the father

37
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.360
pretty much beyond the shadow of any doubt. So let's

38
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.159
get back to McLaughlin, because even after winning that lawsuit

39
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.000
against the correctional officers, Roy, he was not done with lawsuits.

40
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.800
And just this year, in March of twenty twenty five,

41
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.520
Roy McLaughlin Junior, he was at it again, and this

42
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.680
time he was alleging a violation of his eighth Amendment,

43
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.439
which is cruel and unusual punishment. And you're not going

44
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.759
to believe this one. I happen to have it in

45
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.319
front of me. And here is how this craziness reads.

46
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.959
And it's Roy McLaughlin Junior versus. And I can't even

47
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.120
pronounce this guy's first name, So we're gonna say T Tolliver,

48
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.759
Robert Wright, Amy Matthews, and a Jane Doe. He knew

49
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.839
as Lieutenant Lanis or Lanis and he's requesting a trial

50
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.480
by jury. Now what could it be for? He may ask, Well,

51
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.120
we go to the claims of relief and it says

52
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.759
violations of Eighth Amendment cruel and unusual punishment by their

53
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.920
policies practices described herein defendants were and are acting with

54
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.600
deliberate indifference, and has intentionally disregarded excessive rest to the

55
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.639
planets well from the exposure to copious levels of environmental

56
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.079
tobacco smoke. And then he has in parentheses secondhand smoke.

57
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.160
The practices outline herein subjective planeff to substantial risk of

58
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:20.399
serious harm and injury. And I just I mean secondhand smoke, y'all.

59
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.800
He's in prison. Mind you, he's gonna sue for this,

60
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.759
so he kind of gets into detail with what he's

61
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.439
sewing about. It says inmates are microwaving and burning illicit

62
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.639
drugs and also contraband being wet tobacco to dry same

63
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.120
for smoking. This practice is done often and emits a

64
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.800
poisonous gas from the nicotine permitting from the Death Row

65
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.040
Unit F tier. During July twenty twenty four, Roy McLaughlin Junior,

66
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.600
which he's running this himself, was on the Death Row

67
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.160
Unit Recreational Yard and took advantage of an opportunity to

68
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.519
inform management t Tolliver regarding the illicit drug trafficking by

69
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.000
death Row inmate orderlies. Planeff believed that Tolliver would act

70
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.360
to secure a safe and healthy environment and encourage other

71
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.680
LSP staff members to do the same. However, she took

72
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.439
no action. Elicit drug trafficking by death Row inmate orderlies

73
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.560
and other contraband, microwaving and burning illicit drugs and wet

74
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.000
tobacco and he's got in parentheses dip to dry out

75
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.040
some for smoking by inmates on the tier had been

76
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.600
going on for months prior to the planet informing Tolliver

77
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.560
on July twenty twenty four, even though Tolliver was well

78
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.000
aware of the issues. During the period of time stated above,

79
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.519
Tolliver was acting as the administrative secretary to Camp F

80
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.079
Death Row Unit Warden Chad Darbone. Plan If asserts that

81
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.600
the microwaving of the illicit drugs and what tobacco was

82
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.079
and get continues to be so constant and pervasive that

83
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.519
poisonous gas emitted permonates through the entire tier and the

84
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.240
death Row Unit, causing LSP personnel to close the F

85
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:16.040
tier's door hatch to partially suppress the poisonous gas and

86
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:21.079
its smell, especially during tours and visitors being present. All

87
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.439
of the defendants are sued in their individual capacity and

88
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.879
acted under color of state law. Defendants Colonel Robert Wright,

89
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.680
Captain Amy Matthews, and Lieutenant Lanis or Lanis have known

90
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.399
about the illicit drug trafficking by death row inmate orderlies

91
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.279
and other contraband for many moss including microwaving and burning

92
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.279
illicit drugs and wet tobacco to dry, same for smoking

93
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.759
by inmates on the death row tier. Planiff has been

94
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.439
and is being exposed to an extreme degree of secondhand

95
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.759
smoke and burning of illicit drugs, making plaintiff especially vulnerable

96
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:02.000
to the smoke medically because of the planeffs allergies and

97
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.519
being sixty seven years of age. The extreme degree of

98
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.399
exposure to secondhand smoke and burning of illicit drugs have

99
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:16.279
caused the planet medical issues ie irritation, painful sore throat, coughing, sneezing,

100
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.199
and difficulty breathing. Smoke inhalation may be life threatening. Plaintiff

101
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.199
mail Defenditt Tolliver a letter dated November twelfth of twenty

102
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.360
twenty four by placing it into the prison mailbox on

103
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.240
the death Row f Here the letter referenced verbatim quote

104
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:38.320
attempt to resolve sensitive issue with responding plane if stated

105
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.879
in part verbatim that the administrative Remedy procedure states in

106
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.480
part offenders are encouraged to resolve their problems within the

107
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:52.440
institution informally before instituting a formal process. Communication with the

108
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.919
appropriate staff member is encouraged. At approximately nine forty am

109
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.440
on November thirteenth of twenty twenty four, Definite rape Right

110
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.279
approached the planiff at his sale on the f tier,

111
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.600
wanting to know what the letter Planiff had written to

112
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:11.639
defend Tolliver was about Defendant Wright's hands were trembling as

113
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.559
he was in full fear, attempting to intimidate Planiffs, stating, verbatim,

114
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.559
I'm going to turn this letter over to the Investigative

115
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.360
Services plan if applied verbatim, I want you to do that.

116
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:28.000
Planiff was following the Louisiana Law and Department of Corrections policy,

117
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.320
thus causing the Plantiff to sense the defendant, Colonel Robert

118
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:37.759
Wright was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with defendant Tolliver.

119
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.559
Of female sixteenth of November, Planiff mailed an administrative remedy

120
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.320
policy dated November fourteenth of twenty twenty four to the

121
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.720
LSP warden doesn't need placing it in the prison mailbox.

122
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:55.039
On November twentieth, the planet submitted a medical request complaining

123
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.279
of eye irritation so or the coughing, sneezing, and difficulty

124
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.440
breathing to an extreme degree of exposure to the environmental

125
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.840
tobacco smoke i e. Second hand smoke and the burning

126
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:12.679
of illegal drugs. The Planiff's complaint was accepted on November nineteenth,

127
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.600
twenty twenty four. On November twenty first, twenty twenty four,

128
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.080
at approximately noontime, Defendant Tolliver and defendant Lieutenant Lanis arrived

129
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.559
at the plainiff's housing unit. Tolliver asked the planet verbatim quote,

130
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.360
do you want to talk to me? Planiff responded verbatim, yes,

131
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.519
meet with me on the yard. At two o'clock, the

132
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.200
defendant Tolliver and Lanis arrived and met with the plaintiff

133
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.159
on the wreckyard at approximately two point fifteen pm. Sergeant

134
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.039
Ville was a recreation yard guard and witnessed the meeting

135
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.080
between the planiff and the defendants. Planiff spoke first, stating, quote,

136
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:54.320
this is about illegal drug trafficking. Defendant Lanis opened her

137
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.960
eyes very wide, clearly shaken by the planeiff statement, and

138
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.320
stated verbatim, I don't know why I would know anything

139
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.200
about that. And Lanis scurried away after approximately one minute,

140
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.679
never returning, leaving defendant Tolliver alone with the planiff. Defendant

141
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.919
Lantis was deliberately indifferent to hearing any further concerns from

142
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:14.519
the planoff.

143
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.320
Jim, did you see what happened in Texas today?

144
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.080
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you

145
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.279
what happened in New York.

146
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.240
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told

147
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.840
you about yesterday in Louisiana.

148
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.840
You know what, we should do a podcast about it.

149
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.000
And with that we did. Crime War Weekly covers the

150

157
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.799
Colonel Wright has seen me reading your letter to me

158
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.120
and took it from me. He doesn't want me to

159
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.360
talk to you, but I told him I was going

160
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.759
to talk to you today. Planiff then stated to defendant

161
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.679
Tolliver that he had to mention her back in July

162
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.320
regarding the illicit drug trafficking by death row orderlies and

163
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.840
notified her that the microwaving of the wet tobacco and

164
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.519
illicit drugs had a bad medical injury to the Planiff

165
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.480
and would continue to do so if it's not abated.

166
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:34.039
Plainiff told Tolliver, your boy, and then he has in preceeds.

167
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.480
Defendant right is distracted by his sexual relationship with you

168
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.120
and doesn't want to be bothered with the Plainiff's concerns,

169
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.759
Planiff and Tolliver spoke for approximately thirty five minutes. All

170
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.159
of the defendants were aware of the problematic concerns the

171
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.320
Planiff alluded to in his complaint many months before filing,

172
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.440
and took no action to fix it. Planiff was taken

173
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.519
to the Death Row clinic and was seen by medical

174
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.000
personnel Robert Bordlaine, who upon Planet verbally complaining to Borderline

175
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.879
regarding eye irritations or threat, coughing, sneezy and difficulty breathing

176
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.600
caused by extreme exposure of a second nd smoke in

177
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.240
borderline state of verbatim quote they need to lock these

178
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.360
inmates up. I'll order you some eye drops. A few

179
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.480
hours after the Planet's visit to the clinic, on November

180
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.759
twenty second of twenty twenty four, defendant Right, Major Morow

181
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:34.759
and Sergeant Ville made rounds at approximately nine to fifteen am. However,

182
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.559
Right didn't acknowledge your speak to the Planet. On November

183
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.759
twenty third and twenty fourth, Planeff witnessed illicit drug trafficking

184
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.200
at the f Tears entrance door hatch by Death Row

185
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.519
inmate orderlies commonly referred to as Junior on November twenty

186
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.799
fourth of twenty twenty four. Planef receiving his prescription for

187
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:58.080
good sense artificial tears lubricant eye drops on November twenty

188
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.120
third of twenty twenty four. It was prescribed by Robert Borderline.

189
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.480
Planeff witnessed illicit drug trafficking on November twenty sixth and

190
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.840
twenty seventh through the f Tiars entrance door hatch by

191
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.919
Junior the Orderly. This activity had been occurring for many

192
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.759
months prior to the plane Iff filing his complaint and

193
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:22.120
continued with all the defendants witnessing it. However, the defendant's

194
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.759
MO was to ignore the issues, thus appearing to operate

195
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.240
a lawful and doc policy run unit at Death Row

196
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.240
at Louisiana State Present. On November twenty sixth, the Planeff

197
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.720
was on the reckyard when defendants Right and Tolliver arrived

198
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.519
making rounds and didn't acknowledge nor speak to the Planeff

199
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.399
who was standing ten feet away. Now, why the fuck

200
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.279
would he feel like they needed to acknowledge or speak

201
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.639
to him? What an arrogant some bitch, even at his age.

202
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:56.879
Planiff asserts that the wet tobacco is being sold by

203
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.559
death row inmates orderlies and delivered the inmates on the

204
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.440
tier by orderlies and LSP staff personnel, and it's considered

205
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.919
contraband on the f tier. PLANEF asserts it. On November

206
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.799
twenty ninth, twenty twenty four, at approximately ten point fifteen am,

207
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:17.759
Lieutenant Martinez, supposedly a cousin to defendant Tolliver, arrived at

208
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.240
the Planiff's cell and stated verbatim, I've got a bone

209
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:26.000
to pick with you. PLANEFF then stated what Lieutenant Martinez

210
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.720
stated Tolliver, you hurt her feelings. Lieutenant Martinez then walked off,

211
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.039
and the Planet pondered quote very typical. Defendant Tolliver expressed

212
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.159
her feelings to Martinez regarding the Planeff's complaints. He goes

213
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.159
on to say all of the defendants are deliberately indifferent

214
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:49.519
to the Plaineiff's acute discomfort, Louisiana statutes regarding illegal drugs

215
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:54.320
and smoking, Planet's injury and Department of Correction policy regarding

216
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.879
second nd smoke. Plainiff asserts that no smoking signs are

217
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.759
on the tier. They were painted over more than five

218
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.759
months prior to March first of twenty twenty five and

219
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.679
have not been repainted, which is a Louisiana statutory violation.

220
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.159
On November tenth of twenty twenty four, Defendant Robert Wright

221
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.559
made rounds on the F tier and Planet stated verbatim

222
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.639
to write quote, I'm not opposed to dropping my complaint

223
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.919
if you'll take my allegation seriously. Defendant Wright walked off

224
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:28.840
without verbally engaging with the planoff. Defendant Captain Amy Matthews

225
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.360
is a daytime shifts supervisor at the death Row unit

226
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.799
and is deliberately indifferent to the secondhand smoke illicit drug

227
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.960
trafficking by death Row inmate order lease in the microwaving

228
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.720
of wet tobacco and burning of illicit drugs, causing the

229
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.559
planiff to be exposed to an extreme degree of environmental smoke.

230
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.200
Matthews is deliberately indifferent to the planet's risk. Arm PLANEFF

231
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.440
asserts that Lieutenant Harrison, who is the subordinate correctional officer

232
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.399
to defendant Captain Amy Matthews on their shift, told the

233
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.200
plane if he was having sex with Matthews regularly and

234
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.319
her focus was to get into his pocket, not on smoke.

235
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:15.079
PLANETF received the complaint number in the first step response

236
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.680
form dated December twelfth of twenty twenty four, prepared by

237
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.319
Warden Megan Shipley. Plan If asserts a defendant Tolliver and

238
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.200
writes responses to the Planet's complaint or the first official

239
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.319
documented lies regarding these matters. Defendant Tolliver stated, in part verbatim,

240
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.480
at no time was she aware of the drug trafficking

241
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.559
by you, Defendant Roy McLaughlin, nor was she made aware

242
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.480
of any complaints of illegal drugs or tobacco by offenders

243
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:48.279
on any tears. Defendant Wright stated in his response verbatim,

244
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.440
quoted no time has he ever been a correctional officer

245
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.000
that allowed any kind of drug trafficking throughout his career,

246
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.599
and at no time did he ever intimidate you or

247
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.599
any other offender. Plentif asserts a defendant Tolliver and Wright

248
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.880
had no response, choosing to ignore the Planet's assertion that

249
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.000
the two defendants have been in an inappropriate employee relationship.

250
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.920
How the fuck you like him? Whether it's appropriate or not.

251
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.599
Who is this guy to judge anybody? It's wild inappropriate

252
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.559
sexual relationship. The failure to respond by defendants is very

253
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.359
telling in common sense is appropriate in this regard. Defendant

254
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:34.599
Right is distracted by the much younger female thus right

255
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.000
is woefully improficient in his duties, mandated to the Administrator

256
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:43.440
a healthy, safe and secure environment for the planet. The

257
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:48.160
PLANEFF asserts that all of the defendants are woefully improficient

258
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.000
in their duties and mandated to administrator a healthy, safe

259
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.759
and secure environment for the planetf as it pertains to

260
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.359
exposure to secondhand smoke, microwaving, tobacco, et cetera. He repeats

261
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.319
that every freaking sentence. On December eighteenth of twenty twenty four,

262
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.799
death Row orderly known as Junior, passed contramand through the

263
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:14.079
F tiers dooratch. This violation is often done with the

264
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.359
knowledge of the defendants. On December eighteenth of twenty twenty four,

265
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.880
plane If mailed his second step in the complaint process

266
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.400
to the Secretary of Public Safety and Department of Corrections,

267
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:31.400
indicating the Planet's dissatisfaction with the complaint first step response

268
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:35.279
for him. On December twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, defendant

269
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:40.519
Lieutenant Lantis escorted inmate Castro into the F tier wherein

270
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.200
the extreme degree of microwave tobacco perminated throughout the F

271
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.759
tier and the defendant said nothing nor did anything to

272
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.279
abate or discipline the offender. On December twenty eighth of

273
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.160
twenty twenty four, PLANEF asserts death row inmate orderlies passed

274
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.759
and dropped contraband throughout the f tier hatch two times.

275
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.119
On December thirtieth of twenty twenty four, plenty IF addressed

276
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.160
and mailed a letter to the prison's mail system to

277
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.599
defendants Tolliver, in Wright, and plenty Of, stating in part

278
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.440
verbating myself and Louisiana taxpayers expects you to enforce and

279
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.880
follow applicable federal and state laws, especially as it pertains

280
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:24.559
to the death row unit. I'm happy he spoke up

281
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:29.240
for us Louisiana taxpayers. On November twenty third, twenty fourth,

282
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.559
twenty fifth, and twenty six, inmate Junior passed contraband through

283
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.599
the trayatch and microwaving of tobacco occurred too. On December

284
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.440
sixth and eighteenth, Junior passed contraband through the tray hatch again.

285
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.759
After shift change. On December eighteenth, nineteenth, twenty fifth, and

286
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.279
twenty six, the sergeant allowed an inmate to make an

287
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:55.000
ice run. However, a lot of microwaving of tobacco occurs

288
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.680
between six pm and seven pm, doing so amits a

289
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.480
poison gas in his serious health issue. On February third

290
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.960
of twenty twenty five, Planiff had the opportunity to speak

291
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.839
with Defendant Right at approximately ten am on Death Row

292
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:16.119
Units Wreckyard. Right was accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Base, and

293
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:21.079
Planiff stated to write, verbatim quote tobacco is being microwaved

294
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.440
a lot after shift change. Right responded, I'll take the

295
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.519
microwave off the f tier after shift change. Defender Right

296
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.240
did not remove the microwave as stated above. Planef asserts

297
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:39.079
that before Planiff began notifying Defendant Rollover during July twenty

298
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.799
twenty four regarding Death Row inmates illicit drug trafficking, the

299
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.359
same thing had been occurring, along with microwaving wet tobacco

300
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.039
and the same fuckling sentence he repeats one hundred times.

301
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.359
At approximately ten forty am. On February twenty first of

302
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.759
twenty twenty five, a young African American woman delivered a

303
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:03.200
pack of Red Alert and esthetic launges per Planet's request

304
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:08.519
for medical treatment plentyfit submitted on February nineteenth, twenty twenty five,

305
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.400
regarding second hand smoke plenty of tests, and on February

306
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.160
twenty first defendant Lantis escorted the food cart into the

307
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.279
F tier at three p forty five pm minutes earlier,

308
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.759
and in made him microwave wet tobacco and smoke, and

309
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:30.440
the smell perminated throughout. Defendant stated verbatim, quote shit, I

310
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:35.359
can't breathe. Defendant took no action regarding disciplining the inmate

311
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.000
and stated, verbatim, I need to get off this tier

312
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.920
planif of TESTA. And on February twenty second, twenty third

313
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.279
of twenty twenty five, the smoke from the freaking second

314
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.640
hand smoking won't shut the hell up about perenated through

315
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.279
the tier. At approximately eleven fifty Defendant Colonel Robert Wright

316
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.759
made rounds of the F tier and stated, as he

317
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.400
was walking, quote I smell smoke. A test to documenting

318
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:06.480
a chronological tabulation indicating more than one hundred times wet

319
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.000
tobacco was microwating on the F tier. Burning of illicit

320
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.480
drugs occurred on the F tier and a lot of

321
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:16.359
contraband was passed through the F tier PLANIF of tests

322
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.720
and on March first of twenty twenty five, no one

323
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:24.599
from Investigative Services had interviewed the planiff regarding the problematic

324
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:29.279
violations stated above, even though the defendant right told the

325
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.200
Planet verbatim, I'm going to turn this letter over to

326
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.839
investigative Services planif of tests that all four defendants are

327
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.720
aiding and abetting the illegal activity misrepresentation of a felony

328
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.559
is occurring. And he believes that three of the four

329
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.440
defendants or residents in the state of Mississippi and routinely

330
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.880
crossing state lines, and all defendants are sued in their

331
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.319
individual capacity and acting under state law. And he signed

332
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.680
this the third of March of twenty twenty five. So

333
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:10.519
all of that to bitch about two people who obviously

334
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.160
this is just allegations, but we're screwing on the Tier

335
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:18.799
two guards and some second hand freaking tobacco smoke. Can

336
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.119
you believe it? This is where the tax dollars are

337
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.200
going people. So this case kind of goes on. On

338
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.920
March seventeenth, he amends the complaint. He eventually had found

339
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.359
out the name the correct name of one of the

340
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.240
people he was suing, and he amended the complaint to

341
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.880
reflect that. But when it was all sudden done surprisingly

342
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:49.559
on May thirtieth of twenty twenty five, he actually requested

343
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.960
the case be dismissed. Not quite sure what happened there,

344
00:24:55.240 --> 00:25:00.880
but he claimed that a new warden took over on

345
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.839
that death road tier and said they were gonna fix everything.

346
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.480
So he's agreed to request the dismissal of a lawsuit.

347
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.799
And there, folks, the unbelievable thing is taxpayers are paying

348
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:20.480
for all these bullshit lawsuits like this. It is absolutely

349
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:25.240
infuriating to me at this point in time. Sixty seven

350
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.880
year old Roy McLaughlin junior, wife murderer, done all these

351
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.960
things and all he's got to do is sit behind

352
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.480
the wire and see people, and we pay for it.

353
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.400
You gotta love it. So there you have it, and

354
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.559
we're gonna go ahead and I'm gonna end this Roy

355
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.240
