No bill.
Only three stab wounds. Could be self inflicted or accidental.
In Vietnam, they used to say of you're gonna get zapped, let it happen in the first few weeks instead of the last few days of the tour. Much misery avoided.
It should be pretty easy to find out who killed the criminal. This is a hint. Look in the cell for another person. There is a fence and bars around the place. That should limit the number of suspects.
It did save the state some money.
In the movies, there is usually a line of men in long sleeved shirts headed to chow-hall or exercise or the laundry and one or two of them have a shiv and decide to gut a fellow line-stander.
Somebody hollers and somebody blows a whistle and men start running. Blood covers the floor but is soon hosed away from a guy in the kitchen.
Hope Luke Woodham is alright.
