A man serving a life sentence for kidnapping a teenager claims he was stabbed in a Nebraska prison shortly after her story appeared in a national tabloid. The Omaha World-Herald reported that Anthony Steven Wright said he was stabbed 15 times last month at the federal prison in Leavenworth, Ks. Wright, also known as Tony Zappa, claims a number of men got into his cell Oct. 23 and stabbed him. He wrote of the alleged attack in letters to his family and lawyer. Federal officials declined to say whether the assault occurred. The alleged attack would have occurred two days after an interview kidnap victim Anne Sluti did with the National Enquirer appeared in the tabloid. Wright's lawyer said Wright was hospitalized for several days and now is in solitary confinement. Wright, a former Iowan, was convicted in June of kidnapping Sluti from a shopping mall last year. |
