Slain Inmate Mourned At Funeral

LAUREL, Md. (AP) ― Friends and family paid their last respects to the 19-year-old found dead in his jail cell after being charged in the death of a Prince George's County police officer.

A minister told mourners for Ronnie L. White on Thursday that they all bore some responsibility for the tragic path his life took.

The Rev. G. Randolph Gurley told the crowd of 500 at the Tabernacle Church in Laurel that White's family, his friends, the school system and the faith community all may have played a role in his troubled life.

He urged White's friends to turn their lives around.

White was found strangled in his maximum security cell on June 29, a day after he was charged with first-degree murder in the hit-and-run death of Corporal Richard Findley.

White's death at the county jail has sparked outrage and remains under investigation.
