OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

• Prison officials have a legal duty under the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from using excessive force and to protect prisoners from assault by other prisoners.
• Prison officials may be violating the Eighth Amendment if they knew about a risk of assault by other prisoners but failed to respond, or if prison conditions or practices create an unreasonable risk of assault (for example, not having enough officers on the unit, not having cell doors that lock properly, etc.)

Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the corrections facility lacked adequate security to protect its inmates, the families of Jimmy Lee Trammell, Ahmod Dewayne Hatcher, and Teddy Dewayne Jackson may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
