Prosecutors announced murder charges against Casey White in connection with the death of Vicky White, a corrections officer who authorities say helped the murder suspect escape from an Alabama jail.
states that, among other actions, someone can commit murder while committing or attempting to commit escape in the first degree when, "in the course of and in furtherance of the crime that he or she is committing or attempting to commit, or in immediate flight therefrom, he or she ... causes the death of any person."
"After receiving the results of the autopsy, the defense team will file additional motions stating the relief sought," his attorneys -- who include Marcus Helstowski, Mark McDaniel, Robert Tuten, Nick Lough and Nick Heatherly -- said in a statement. Following a pursuit, authorities rammed the Cadillac sedan driven by Casey White and Vicky White and pushed it into a ditch.Authorities said they believe Vicky White willingly participated in the escape, which took place on her last day before retirement.
