NEW YORK — Casey White pleaded guilty Thursday to his 2022 jail escape, which precipitated a multi-day manhunt that ended in the death of a corrections officer who authorities said helped him break out of the Alabama detention center.
White, 39, was charged with escape in the first degree following his capture in May 2022. He was later indicted on felony murder for allegedly causing the death of Vicky White, 56, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the two were apprehended in Indiana following the 11-day manhunt, authorities said.
Casey White emotionally apologized to Vicky White's family in court, saying,"It wasn't supposed to happen like that," according to Huntsville, Alabama, ABC affiliate WAAY-TV. He also agreed to a life sentence, the maximum punishment for the lesser escape charge, and to waive his right to appeal, Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connelly said.
