The attorney for the family of John Neville says his clients havenât received fair treatment since five detention officers and a nurse were charged in Nevilleâs jail-related death.
âMy concern is that the Neville family, in my opinion, has not been treated well by those folks who represent the sheriff and the county,â said Michael Grace of Winston-Salem, the attorney for Nevilleâs estate. âThey deserve a little better based on how they comported themselves throughout this whole thing.â
His law firm is Grace, Tisdale & Clifton P.A. of Winston-Salem.
John Elliott Neville, 56, died on Dec. 4, 2019, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
A Winston-Salem man is asking an appellate court to overturn his murder conviction, saying there is clear evidence that a prosecutor dismissed two Black jurors because of their race. The evidence? The prosecutor admitted it in court when challenged.Â
And an appellate court in 1998 found that the prosecutor illegally used race in jury selection. But the man s conviction was not overturned because of a narrow interpretation of a U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting race discrimination in jury selection, the man s attorney said. Race had to be the sole reason a juror was removed for his conviction to be overturned, but that rule has since changed, the attorney said. Now, it just has to be a significant factor.
