If Casey White, who escaped with Vicky White in Alabama, has no more of his medical left, anything can happen.

Casey White’s former attorney, who made a spectacular escape with warden Vicky White from the Lauderdale County Jail in Alabama last week, is concerned about his one-time client’s state of mind.

Dale Bryant, White’s public defender on an appeal against 2019 convictions for a series of violent crimes, told local news outlets that in his mind, White could be drawn into a shootout with the cop if he doesn’t have a card. Bryant told AL.com: “When Casey was on drugs and in jail in a structured environment, Casey was a normal person. “You would never know he was a danger because he was treated with drugs and in a structured environment.”

When he doesn’t – as is the obvious case when he tries to kill his ex-girlfriend, takes three people hostage and shoots a dog – anything can happen. “When he’s not on medication, he’s often self-medicating with drugs, usually methamphetamine, and that’s when things become problematic,” says Bryant. “Because even if you are not mentally ill and are using methamphetamine, you become paranoid, irrational, impulsive, and if you marry someone who is mentally ill, that makes it worse. .”

Bryant said that Casey – who authorities say has a white supremacist tattoo – had previously shown little will to live.

“Casey wanted to die,” Bryant said, referring to his 2015 crime. “He was trying to get the officers to shoot him, and that is my fear, how this situation will end. Except this time, I’m afraid Casey might try to shoot them to try and get them to shoot him. I wanted to say in his interview after his arrest and in my conversations with him, he wanted to die that day.”

White disappeared with Vicky White (no relation) under the guise of a mental health assessment on April 29. Ms. White was later discovered at a Quality Inn not far from where she left her car. patrol at a shopping mall in Florence, Alabama. . Mr. White – who is barely recognizable at 6 feet 9 inches and 330 pounds – is not seen in the surveillance video, but is believed to be with her.

The local sheriff describes the relationship between the two as a “prison romance” that begins with conversations that go through bars and progresses to prison guards making sure inmates have more food on their trays. mine. It is unclear to what extent the two had romantic intercourse in prison, although the local sheriff said their relationship was “not physical”.

White was in prison facing charges that he stabbed to death a 58-year-old woman named Connie Ridgeway in the crime Bryant protected him — and for which he was sentenced to 75 years in prison. at the state prison.

His warden had not previously had any dealings with law enforcement before allegedly violating protocol that helped her in prison boyfriend escape after 17 years in prison. Alabama. The case happened on the day she planned to retire, and would probably coincide with the day she finally had access to the inmates or the keys to her cell.

According to Lauderdale police, it is suspected that she masterminded the escape and handled the logistical details, including selling her home for $90,000 and purchasing an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun. . “Casey is not a planner. Bryant told several local news outlets. “You can even look at all of his previous offenses — none of which were planned. All are motivated in the moment. He just reacts to everything. The planning for this escape is so thorough and far-fetched, and it’s not Casey’s MO. “
