RALEIGH, N.C. — A Wake County corrections officer who faces charges of voluntary manslaughter in relation to an incident in which an inmate died defended himself in court Wednesday.
Markeith Council, 27, told the court he had a conversation with Shon Demetrius McClain some time before the incident while Council was handing out sheets.
Council testified, “McLain said, ‘You almost shoved my [expletive] hand in this trap.’ Well, I said, ‘If you didn’t want your hand in the [expletive] trap, get your hands out of the trap.’”
