Jeffery Remington
On
Remington, Parker, and Michael Lenz were
in attendance at a meeting at the prison when a scuffle broke out and
Lenz and
Remington started stabbing Parker. Correctional officers intervened to
stop the
fight, but nevertheless, Parker died of his wounds at an area hospital.
Although it was unclear whether it was Remington or Lenz who delivered
the
fatal blow, both men were charged with capital murder.
During the penalty phase of the trial,
Remington was accidentally shocked by an electric restraining belt and
hospitalized. Remington’s trial counsel consented to permit the
jury to
continue its deliberations although Remington was not able to appear.
In his
absence, the jury decided on a death sentence.
