\"\"A federal grand jury in Mississippi returned an unsealed indictment Thursday, charging two former Mississippi Department of Corrections officials with deprivation of rights under color of law.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to court documents, Jessica Hill, a correctional officer at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF), and Nicole Moore, a CMCF case manager, used excessive force against an inmate, including using dangerous weapons and resulting in bodily injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 11, 2019, Hill and Moore, while aiding and abetting each other and others, willfully deprived L.C. of the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that Hill struck L.C. with a canister and punched L.C., and that Moore kicked L.C., while L.C. was not resisting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants each face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison if convicted. The defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI Jackson Field Office is investigating the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenda Haynes for the Southern District of Mississippi and Trial Attorney Eric Peffley of the Civil Rights Division\u2019s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
