Written by Fox News on April 18, 2019
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio – A man already convicted in three slayings and serving a life sentence has pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated murder and other charges in an attack on an Ohio prison guard.
Casey Pigge (pij) has been sentenced to 32 more years in prison.
Pigge pleaded guilty Wednesday in Scioto County in the Feb. 20, 2018, attack on Matthew Mathias. Authorities said Pigge and a co-defendant attacked the officer at Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville as he was escorting them to the prison infirmary.
Prosecutors say Mathias was stabbed 32 times with knives made of metal from the inmates’ beds.
The Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAHTH’-ee) Gazette reports Pigge appeared to show no remorse Wednesday, saying “it is what it is.”
Prison officials say Pigge and his co-defendant are both on hunger strikes, alleging overly harsh treatment by guards.
