4 Prison Employees Absolved in Rape Case
Three guards and a former medical assistant were not responsible for the rape of an inmate at a state prison once considered the nation’s deadliest, a jury determined Tuesday.
The jury deliberated for about five hours in the four-week federal civil rights trial in which Eddie Webb Dillard claimed that guards and the medical technician at California State Prison, Corcoran, had set up and then covered up incidents in which he was raped by murderer Wayne Robertson.
The attacks are alleged to have occurred over two days in March 1993.
