Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly has already said prosecutors won't seek the death penalty.
Prosecutors have decided not to go forward in the capital murder case against Casey White – whose escape from Lauderdale County jail last year led to a nationwide manhunt.
The capital murder case involves the 2015 slaying of Connie Ridgeway of Rogersville. The trial was set to begin Aug. 14. White, who will turn 40 next month, will not be eligible for parole until 2081 – at which point he would be 98 years old.Ridgeway’s murder remains under investigation and other people may be found to have been involved.Lauderdale County Circuit Judge Benjamin Graves has not yet ruled on the motion.
The two were on the run for nine days before Casey White was captured in Evansville, Indiana. Vicky White took her own life by shooting herself in the head as law enforcement closed in for the capture.
