Casey Cole White, a former lawyer for the Alabama escaped prisoner, fears that his old client may attempt suicide by a cop – saying he must be a prisoner, suffering from severe mental illness and addiction problems.
Dale Bryant, who represented White in his crime in 2015, said his former client “wants to die” after his arrest.
“He was trying to get the police to shoot him and it’s kind of a fear of how this situation will end,” he told local news station WAFF.
Now Bryant fears: “Casey may try to shoot [cops] to try to get them to shoot him. “
“I want to say in his post-arrest interview and in my conversations with him that he wanted to die that day,” the lawyer added.
The convicted killer, who escaped from Lauderdale County Jail on April 29 with former Assistant Director of Corrections Vicki White, 56, “suffers from a mental illness,” his former lawyer said.
“When he’s on medication and in a controlled environment … he’s a decent man,” Bryant told the station. “When he is released from prison, he cannot continue to take his medication and even treats himself by smoking methamphetamine or taking other illegal substances.

The lawyer said Casey White once admitted to him that she could not function outside of prison.
He could not remember the exact diagnosis of the murder suspect’s mental illness, but he thought it could be schizophrenia.
White once developed close relationships with prison workers in various Alabama counties – long before he was said to have escaped from prison and escaped from a former prison warden.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton called their relationship a “prison romance” and the two are believed to be fleeing together.
Vicki White had told her colleagues that she would take Casey to a mental health assessment in court, but there was never an appointment.
Instead, she abandoned the police cruiser she was driving and is believed to have escaped with Casey in a 2007 orange Ford Edge sometime early that day. She had recently applied for retirement and sold her home in Lexington.
