Petition for Redress for Personal Injury details delay in indictment
The filing alleges denial of the plaintiff’s Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial and due process as Knight and Jarrett are accused of delaying indictment after an escape. It cites prior burglary conviction, life sentence, jail escape on Sept 18 1970, and alleged possession of a pistol. The petition claims a special grand jury was convened 14 months later to indict for armed robbery to bypass habeas corpus rights.
