Some posters on thread #1 discussed the strange fact that CW, already doing 75 years in state prison for his 2015 crime spree convictions, out of the blue wrote a letter to Lauderdale County confessing to a murder he wasn’t a suspect in (a stabbing death of someone unconnected to him he said he was paid to do).
And once he got to Lauderdale County jail and was arraigned, recanted his confession letter, claimed insanity (which handily ensured his pending charges in Lauderdale would have a long protracted process with many evaluations and hearings) and tried to escape.
And now it’s interesting there was a death in Limestone County that maybe he should have been a suspect in but wasn’t (the ex girlfriend that was ruled a suicide gunshot death, who died IN HIS PRESENCE). Menacing an ex girlfriend with a gun was also the kickoff of his 2015 spree.
I take what CW’s mother said in this interview with a grain of salt but I find this quite from her plausible:
His mother claimed he copped to that crime to get a change of scenery at the rural county jail.
“The only reason he came out to Lauderdale County was to get out of the prison he was in,” she said.
“He wrote a letter to say that he murdered that woman. But he didn’t really murder her, he just done that to get back up here.
“He just wanted to be out of that prison because it was so bad and there was no food.”
“I just have no idea why they’ve painted him as a monster,” Connie White said over the phone of her son, who escaped from Lauderdale County Jail Friday morning.
