COURTS: Del. inmate gets 21 more years in guard assaults WILMINGTON, Del. — An inmate has been sentenced to another 21 years in prison for assaulting prison guards.

Dickens' attorney says Friday's sentence means his client now will be serving essentially a life sentence. In January, Dickens was found guilty on nine counts of assaulting corrections officers.

He's already facing additional assault charges and is due to appear for a hearing later this month.Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
