GASKINS SAII) he was "tricked"
by a prosecutor in 1978 into admitting

"It was the same as a gun pointing

sheriff's trial
The charges resulted from a State
Law Enforcement Division investigation
into allegations by three
white male inmates that they were
beaten and two of them sexually
assaulted by about 16 black prisoners
at the county jail in August.
McFarlin said at the time the in
cident was the first of its kind at the 11
jail and there was nothing he could
have done to stop it. He instituted
tougher security procedures afterward.
