Cellmate ruse in Van Skike case sparks scrutiny
The investigation team allegedly planted an undercover DCI agent in Van Skike's jail cell from Feb. 6 to Feb. 8 to elicit statements. The plan, including a fictitious plea bargain, drew sharp criticism from Sheehy who called it amateurish and a potential constitutional violation. Trial is set for May 8 in Jones County District Court.
