Inmate Accused Of Killing Guard Seeks More Food
A judge is set to decide whether a Utah inmate accused of killing a prison guard can eat more while incarcerated ahead of his trial.
Attorneys for Curtis Allgier say he’s lost weight, but wants to gain it back so he’ll look like he did when the alleged attack occurred.
A hearing is set for Monday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court.
Allgier has pleaded not guilty to capital murder in the June 2007 shooting death of a guard. He escaped and was captured after being disarmed by a patron at a fast food restaurant.
Allgier had complained about how much he was fed while in Salt Lake County’s jail.
In court papers, prosecutors say the issue is moot because Alliger has since been moved to the state prison.
