Former Louisiana correctional officer pleads guilty to denying aid to inmate dying from rare blood condition
The teen mother had been found dead lying face-down on the floor of an isolated cell on April 1, 2014
A former correctional officer from the St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana pleaded guilty to denying medical help to a female inmate who was found dead in a prison cell after being in the parish jail for 10 days, according to federal court records.
According to reports, 19-year-old Nimali Henry -- a teen mom from Chalmette suffering from a rare blood disorder -- was found dead lying face-down on the floor of an isolated prison cell on April 1, 2014.
Timothy Williams from Meraux was convicted for violating the civil rights of Nimali, who a report from the coroner said, probably died of a blood clot.
