Kastellio Vaughan's attorney says the man's 'medical condition rapidly deteriorated' due to 'inadequate facilities, abuse and medical neglect' in an Alabama prison. “Vaughan is believed to have lost 75 pounds in less than a month,” Lee Merritt said.
Police at the time said the incident happened about 8 p.m. on July 10, 2013. Two men told police they had invited two women whom they didn’t know into a home on South Gimon Circle. Shortly after their arrival a man, who police identified as Vaughan, came into the home.
Merritt on Friday said Vaughan’s family members report that following Vaughan’s surgery last month, he was immediately discharged from the hospital on the same day as his surgery and placed back into the general population at Elmore Correctional Facility. Vaughan’s family began receiving the photos of the sick inmate earlier this week and issued a plea for help.Both Merritt and Alabama Department of Corrections officials said Vaughan has since been moved to the prison system’s Staton Medical Observation Unit.
