‘Vigilante’ Inmate Murder Probe Widens
July 3rd, 2008FBI and Maryland officials join forces to determine how the Maryland inmate died.
The “vigilante justice” case of a Maryland cop-killer suspect who was found strangled to death in his cell has expanded to include everybody working at the D.C.-area jail. Initially, authorities announced that seven corrections officers who had access to Ronnie White were under investigation for the 19-year-old inmate’s death. White, who was held in solitary confinement, was discovered in his cell Sunday with two broken bones in his neck; he died from asphyxiation and strangulation, according to a Maryland medical examiner. Two days prior, White had been arrested and charged in the hit-and-run death of Prince George’s County police Cpl. Richard Findley. According to police, White, who was driving a stolen truck, struck the officer, who tried to flag the vehicle down. Prince George’s County Chief Executive Jack Johnson, who described White’s death as a case of “vigilante justice,” said that the suspect’s apparent payback killing is inexcusable. “The killing of the officer is absolutely abhorrent, but also, Mr. White was presumed innocent and deserved his day in court just like any other citizens,” Johnson said. “We live in a constitutional democracy, and no one has the right to be judge and jury.” The FBI, which is working with Maryland State Police, said Tuesday that all 630 staffers at the Prince George’s County Correctional Center will be part of the investigation. Several guards have said they will not talk to investigators, according to Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Glenn Ivey. “The family of Ronnie White is absolutely, unequivocally outraged, incensed and deeply saddened that the life of their loved one could be taken so cold[ly], so callously,” attorney Bobby Henry told reporters Tuesday. “Something is dreadfully wrong with the system.”

The only similarity between this case and the Sean Bell case, is that Sean Bell attempted to run over a cop. In this case, Ronnie White DID run over and drag the cop to his death. If anything, this proves that a car is every bit as deadly a weapon as a 9mm. Unarmed??? Go F— yourselves.
I don’t see how White’s family could say they can’t see how he was so coldly killed. He coldly killed someone else. Regardless of race, creed, or religion what goes around comes around. How do they think that officer’s family felt. At least White’s family can probably have a viewing of his body which is more than the other family can say!
I AM SURE OTHER IMATES HEARD SOMETHING, UNLESS THEY HANDCUFF HIM AND BLOCK HIS MOUTH FROM SCREAMING. I KNOW HE WAS IN solitary confinement, BUT THOSE OTHER IMATES SHOULD HHAVE HEARD SOMETHING.WE ALL KNOW THERE IS A CODE OF SILENCE.
Just another example of injustice that continue’s for Black American’s. America needs to clean up it’s own back yard before it keeps going to WAR trying to clean up other Nation’s problem’s.

i think its messed up the way both the cop and Mr. White died, but mostly how Mr. White was killed. That is not how this country handels the crime and who ever killed him desurve to be locked up. Show the how we really handel crime in this country…
Can’t overlook that an officer of law was killed here. I want say it’s right that the young inmate was murdered. There was wrong doing on both sides. I think the only way to see some mercy in this entire situation……I would have to put myself in both situations and both sides of this coin. These officers are being killed.. and all some of you can think of is RACISM …are you sure it was Racism. Would you say there was any RACISM on the young inmates part…what would you call it. Do you have any sympathy for the officers family….they thought that man was coming home after a hards days /nights work…but he didn’t …he was killed by this young man. I know the young mans family is going through much pain. We have to see more than RACISM in this case…there is hurt all around…we are even hurt by it.
What happened to my comments july 3 2008.
YOU NO IF HE WUZ WHITE DA POLICE WOULD HAVE LET HIM OFF AN GIVEN HIM A RIDE HOME AN MAY BE EVEN BOT HIM LUNCH BUT SINSE HE IS BLACK THEY KILT HIM
I first like to extend my condolences to the slain officer’s family as well as friends and much prayers and wishes extends to all. I like to believe that even though mr. white was charge in the crime he still deserves the right for a fair hearing and a trail and not be judge comdeemed and executed by a system that can only be decribed as a vigilante and should be brought to justice and stand accountable for their actions.
I send my condolences to both families and may God give them strength while they are going through their struggles.
As for RM, Femaleblackcop, and DrCool. God knows all and sees all you can’t possibly think its ok for the killing in a solitary cell is good and if you do then whoa unto your children because you just ok’d the devil to have their way with yours. Sometimes we need to stop and think about what we say because it is 08 and God is exposing all that is not right and by your comments you lead me to believe you would have done the same things so may be you have done something unjust yourselves and I pray that God exposes you too. I am not a resident of MD but I have experienced your legal system and it was a joke my family member died as a result of your nonsense in a hospital there and the police did everything but investigate. So my prayers are that God exposes everything and everybody and guys suicide is not an option for you Judgment will be from GOD Who can do everything except fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is crazy even if this young man is guilty the system has a responsibility to take care of the citizens in the communities and when they get in their care they are to be treated as humans no matter what the offense is so that just lets the officials know what goes in these jails and something seriously needs to be done about this and not just talking about this incident its plenty more injustice activities going on in the system they might not be as bad as this one but is being done
Glad he is dead…He deserved it.
I was brought to believe not to wish death on anyone where do we get off saying some one is glad another one is gone what is wrong with this picture? How would you feel if someone said that about one of your family members? Let’s start thinking about some of the stupid things we say before we put it in print they say people don’t know how ignorant you are until you open your mouth so just smile!!!!!!!!!!!!
