SHREVEPORT, La. Criminal charges against one or more Caddo Parish sheriffâs deputies are not appropriate, the Caddo Parish grand jury concluded Wednesday after reviewing how a dying inmate was treated at the parish jail earlier this year.
The grand jury decided not to file criminal charges in the death of Caddo Correctional Center inmate Casey Simpson, who died of medical problems, but after inspecting the jail it released a report saying certain protocols related to medical care there were not in place.Â
The grand juryâs findings in a separate case â the death of a 70-year-old man who collapsed after a Caddo deputy handcuffed him and put him in the back of a patrol vehicle â was not released. The grand juryâs report on Wednesday listed one secret indictment that would be made public after the accused is arrested.
