WJLA reports that a Prince George's County grand jury hearing evidence in the June killing of inmate Ronnie White has disbanded without issuing an indictment. Medical examiners determined that White died from asphyxiation from being strangled to death while in custody on homicide charges in the death of Prince George's County Police Sergeant Richard Findley. The Post follows up with a quote from State's Attorney Glenn Ivey as saying that a new grand jury has been empaneled and will hear evidence in the case.

Close to three months after 19-year-old Ronnie White was strangled to death while in custody in a Prince George's County jail, the Post is reporting that two corrections officers have been placed on paid leave after being identified as "the focus" of an investigation into the killing. White had been taken into custody on charges of killing a Prince George's County police officer with his car less than 48 hours before he was killed. The two corrections officers who have been on leave since last week have yet to be identified. Guards from the jail reportedly told investigators that White had committed suicide. A recent medical examiner's report showed that White had been strangled, and his death has officially been ruled a homicide.

This really smells like it is going to get so much worse. The death of Ronnie White, the 19-year-old man who was arrested over the weekend on charges that he murdered a Prince George's County police officer, has been ruled a homicide. White appears to have been strangled to death while in custody in a county jail -- he had two broken bones in his neck and medical examiners have determined he died from asphyxiation, reports the Post. More on this tomorrow.
