One Bay County (Fla.) Jail inmate received 10 years in prison and another received five years after pleading no contest to charges stemming from the beating and stomping death of another inmate. Jeremiah Samuel Hinsey, 22, received 10 years for manslaughter and Carlos King, 32, received five years for aggravated assault in the 2002 death of Chad Littles, 18, at the jail's annex outside Panama City. Circuit Judge Don T. Sirmons gave each credit for 505 days served Tuesday as he sentenced them in accord with plea agreements. They join two other inmates already sentenced for participating in the killing. Two more are awaiting trial. Investigators said Littles, who died from a head injury, was killed because other inmates mistakenly thought he was an informant. Malachi Najair, 26, was sentenced in August to 12 years after pleading no contest to felony battery and unrelated charges. Ronald Lawson, 26, was sentenced in October to five years for felony battery. Larry K. Burks, 20, and Nicholas Hulsey, 22, are set for pretrial hearings March 10 on second-degree murder charges. A lawsuit by Littles' mother is pending against Corrections Corporation of America Inc., the private company that runs the jail for the county. |
