EATEN ALIVE: An attorney for the family said the conditions were unfit for a 'deceased animal.'
Former deputy national security adviser KT McFarland discusses Evan Gershkovich being held in Russian jail over 'espionage.'
Jail officials placed Thompson in the psychiatric wing after determining he had schizophrenia, Harper said. The attorney shared several extremely graphic photos of Thompson and the filth he allegedly died in at the detention facility in a Wednesday press release. "The family approved photographs…. show[ing] that the jail cell Mr. Thompson was housed in was not fit for a deceased animal," Harper wrote."He did not deserve this. Someone has to be held accountable for his death. The Fulton County Jail must be closed and replaced."
There were"plans" to transfer him to another unit of the jail that never came to fruition when they eventually found Thompson dead in the cell, Harper alleged.
