Casey White Pleads Guilty to Prison Escape, Murder Charge Dropped in Vicky White's Death.

Casey White, an Alabama inmate, pleaded guilty to breaking out of jail with the help of his lover and now-dead jail boss Vicky White, who shot herself dead as authorities closed in on the pair. As part of the guilty plea to first-degree escape, Casey White agreed to the maximum penalty of life in prison, and prosecutors dropped the murder charge he was facing in Vicky White’s death. The unplanned plea deal was hastily arranged when Casey White appeared at the courthouse Thursday for a status hearing.
