Mother jailed after aiding son’s prison escape plan
Gladys Merrill of Vernon Connecticut was sentenced to two to six years at the state farm for Women after sending her 22 year old son Frederick a peanut butter jar with a hidden gun to help him escape from a 10 to 20 year kidnapping sentence. Frederick later used the weapon in an escape and was recaptured.meister Jackson, 27, faces a fifth trial date in Detroit for breaking and entering a market, seeking to plead guilty as delays due to overcrowded dockets persist. Judge De Mascio noted systemic judge shortages hindering trials.
