A 21-year-old state prisoner serving a sentence
for murder is charged in the slaying of another inmate.
John Luckett faces a capital murder charge for the October 18th
killing of 62-year-old Willie E- Campbell, who was housed at the
Cummins Unit.
Campbell died after his throat was slashed as he lay in his bunk
in the two-man cell he shared with Luckett.
Lincoln County Prosecutor Stevan Dalrymple says that Luckett`s
arraignment is tentatively set for January seventh.
Luckett currently is serving a 40-year sentence for a
first-degree murder conviction and a 20-year sentence for
aggravated robbery, both out of Phillips County.
