Description
1. On August 20, 1993, Esther Jones Quinn and Alonzo Jones (Plaintiffs) filed their complaint in the Circuit Court of Hinds County against the defendants in this case, alleging that their sons death was a result of the intentional and malicious, or grossly negligent, behavior of the defendants in the deficient upkeep of the Simpson County Jail and the treatment of prisoners at the jail. Their son, Andre Jones, was found dead, hanging by a shoestring in a shower stall at the jail, while being held on charges of possession of a stolen tag, altering a vehicle identification number, violating a city beer ordinance, and carrying a concealed weapon. Andre had been arrested at a road block set up by the Brandon Police Department, and was transported to the Simpson County Jail due to overcrowding in the Brandon City Jail. Dr. Steven Hayne, who performed the autopsy, found that the manner of death was suicide. However, Plaintiffs maintained that their son was murdered. Plaintiffs named as defendants: Lloyd Jones, Sheriff of Simpson County; John Abernathy, Deputy Sheriff of Simpson County; Simpson County; Walter Tucker, Chief of the Brandon Police Department; John Henley, Sergeant at the Brandon Police Department; the City of Brandon; Willie Brown, Inspector for the Department of Institutional Sanitation of the Health Department for the State of Mississippi; Ed Thompson, State Health Officer; Jerry Oakes, Acting Director/Assistant Director/Chief Architect for the Bureau of Buildings, Grounds and Real Property; Millard Mackey, State Chief Deputy Fire Marshal; and Eddie Lucas, Commissioner of the Department of Corrections for the State of Mississippi. Plaintiffs later amended their complaint to include Commissioner of Public Safety James Ingram as a defendant. Upon the death of Lloyd Jones, Plaintiffs filed a motion to substitute the new Sheriff of Simpson County, Doyle King, and the administratrix of Lloyd Joness estate, Lucy Jones, in Lloyd Joness official and individual capacities, respectively. They also amended their complaint to include a count for simple negligence and one for wrongful death. Plaintiffs accomplished their amendments to the complaint both by motion to amend and by filing a new complaint which was later consolidated into the original complaint.
