The Prince George's county seat was both a memorial and a crime scene yesterday. Thin black fabric was draped from the courthouse as state and federal authorities walked through the nearby jail, trying to determine how the man accused of killing Cpl. Richard S. Findley, a county police officer, ended up dead in his jail cell this weekend.
A day after the state medical examiner ruled inmate Ronnie L. White's death a homicide by asphyxiation and strangulation, civil rights and political leaders said they were reserving judgment while the Maryland State Police and the FBI investigate.
No one at the Prince George's County Correctional Center had been suspended as of last night, though county officials said seven correctional officers and their supervisors had access to White's high-security isolation cell.
Vicki D. Duncan, a spokeswoman for the county Department of Correction, said, "The investigators don't want us to mess up anything. We're waiting to find out what they tell us so we know where to go from there."
