A Massachusetts prison inmate already serving 40 to 60 years for his role in the 1990 gang rape and stabbing death of a 26-year-old woman in Boston was sentenced to an additional 6 to 10 years last week after being convicted of assaulting a correction officer. A Worcester Superior Court jury deliberated for about an hour before finding 33-year-old Che Barnes guilty of assault and battery on a correction officer in connection with a Jan. 22, 2004, attack on Officer Raymond R. Mason Jr. at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. Mr. Barnes was acquitted on a charge of assaulting a second correction officer, Thomas Fisher, who said he was punched in the nose by Mr. Barnes after coming to Officer Mason's aid. Judge Francis R. Fecteau sentenced Mr. Barnes to 6 to 10 years, to begin after Mr. Barnes completes the 40- to 60-year sentence he is now serving. The latter sentence was imposed in 1992, after Mr. Barnes was convicted in Suffolk Superior Court of manslaughter, armed robbery and aggravated rape charges in the Oct. 31, 1990, gang rape and stabbing death of Kimberly Rae Harbour in Dorchester's Franklin Field, according to appellate court records and news accounts of the crime. Mr. Barnes was one of eight men, including two adults and six juveniles, charged in the Halloween night rape and killing. Ms. Harbour suffered 132 knife wounds and at least 18 blunt trauma injuries. Officer Mason testified that he was confronted by Mr. Barnes after he removed an extra pillow, which he described as “contraband,” from Mr. Barnes' cell in the maximum-security prison on the Lancaster-Shirley line. Officer Mason told the jury he tried to restrain the inmate after Mr. Barnes spat in his face. He said he was struck by Mr. Barnes and fell to the floor, striking his head. Officer Mason said Mr. Barnes lunged at him after he got up from the floor and tried to defend himself. He testified that he was knocked to the floor again, striking his head a second time and lapsing in and out of consciousness. Officer Mason said he recalled Mr. Barnes' hands around his neck during the struggle before other officers intervened and pulled the inmate off of him. Officer Mason testified that he suffered a minor concussion and scratches on his neck and chest. He was out of work for about two months because of his injuries, he said. Officer Fisher testified that he was struck in the nose by Mr. Barnes after he tried to pull the inmate off Officer Mason. |
