Alabama inmate pleads guilty to jailbreak with help from guard he had affair with

Casey Cole White escaped from county jail last year helped by Vicky White, who died from self-inflicted gunshot wound

An Alabama jail detainee charged in the death of a high-ranking guard who helped him escape while he engaged in an affair with her pleaded guilty Thursday to the escape in exchange for having the murder case dismissed.

Casey Cole White, 39, entered the plea agreement in Lauderdale county court, avoiding a June trial on the charge of felony murder in the death of Vicky White, the assistant director of corrections at the local jail. He continues to await trial on a separate murder charge.
