"We know she participated, whether she did that willingly or if she was coerced, threatened somehow to participate in the case, not really sure. We know for sure she did participate," Sheriff Singleton said.But Sheriff Singleton later said no such evaluation was scheduled.

He was set to go to trial next month for stabbing a 58-year-old woman to death. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.The sheriff said police were shocked by the events that transpired.Sheriff Singleton said Ms White had been an exemplary employee and jail employees are "just devastated".Ms White had planned to retire and that Friday was to be her last day. He said she had sold her home about a month ago and "talked about going to the beach".
