Sept. 18 (UPI) -- A former Louisiana jail guard pleaded guilty to ignoring the severe medical condition of a 19-year-old female inmate who later died, U.S. attorneys announced Tuesday.
Timothy Williams was a guard at the St. Bernard Parish Jail in St. Bernard Parish, La. when Nimali Henry was an inmate there in 2014. Williams admitted to denying medical care to Henry, who was being held in pre-trial detention and had not been convicted of a crime.
