MARYLAND - Defense lawyers for two inmates accused in the fatal attack of a corrections officer at a Jessup prison will get access to disciplinary records and investigative files of 20 prison guards they suspect were involved in corrupt activities, under an agreement reached today in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court. The attorneys for inmates Lamarr Harris and Lee Stephens say they need the documents as they try to show how a culture of violence, contraband smuggling and corruption at the now-closed Maryland House of Correction ultimately led to the death of Corrections Officer David McGuinn on July 25, 2006. The agreement struck with the state requires defense lawyers to review the records behind closed doors and to keep the information confidential. A judge is to decide any disputes over which documents are relevant to the legal proceedings, which the defense would be allowed to copy. |
