A murder suspect who hanged herself in a Florida jail left a suicide note asking her lawyer to sue the jail for failing to prevent her from killing herself, authorities said. Laren Sims, who was being held in a Hernando County, Florida, jail awaiting extradition to California, suggested any money from the lawsuit could be used to support her two children. Sims, 36, was found in her cell on Saturday and died a day later. She was charged in San Joaquin County, California, with killing husband Larry McNabney and burying him in a vineyard. 'This is all I can give to my children. ...My actions now will allow them to move into the future without this heavy burden. They won't have to watch my trial on Court TV,' Sims wrote to her attorney Tom Hogan in the note dated Friday. 'It should all die with me. In her suicide note, which was found in a sandwich wrapper, Sims said she was not checked regularly in her cell. Steven Owen, spokesman for Corrections Corporation of America, the company that operates the jail, said Wednesday an internal investigation by the company found Sims was properly supervised. 'If somebody is so determined to commit suicide then it's hard to stop them,' Owen said. |
