MURDER OF ESTELLE RICHARDSON!

Stop the Cover-up of the Murder of Estelle Richardson!

On July 5, 2004, Estelle Richardson a 34-year-old mother, died at the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility, where she was an inmate. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Four officers of the Corrections Corporation of America, which runs the Metro jail, were indicted for Estelle's murder. However, pressure from the CCA, a multi-million international company, led state and federal authorities to cave in and drop the charges, claiming the time that Estelle received her injuries could not be substantiated.

Since the charges were dropped, there has been an official cover-up. Estelle's killers have been allowed to get away with murder for four years. We must unite to stop the cover-up and raise our voices to demand justice for Estelle Richardson!
