Greene County, Missouri will pay four black jail inmates $100,000 amid allegations that two white jailers urinated on them while the inmates played basketball last July. The settlement will be shared equally by Zewayne Durley, 28, Darryl Carter, 26, Michael Wade, 18, and Daren Rucker, 18. Authorities say that on July 29, the two jailers, Justin Hastings, 21, and Curtis Myers, 26, went up on a metal-grated roof and urinated on the inmates as they played basketball in one of the jail's exercise rooms. Both Hastings, who is the son of a Greene County police lieutenant, and Myers have resigned their jobs and now await a criminal trial on charges of four counts of third-degree assault. Though defense attorneys deny the charges, attorneys for the inmates believe the incident was racially motivated and say they will seek the maximum punishment at trial. 'Black and white inmates, both, were playing basketball and it wasn't until the white inmates left the court that the jailers decided to urinate,' lawyer Shawn Askinosie told Court TV. |
