An attorney and anti-death penalty activist is suing a high-ranking prison official. Ashley Kincaid Eve alleges that Andrew Sutton caused her emotional distress on Twitter. Sutton had been the Special Confinement Unit Counselor at the Federal Prison in Terre Haute. Kincaid Eve says that’s no longer the case.

A counselor on death row at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute has been moved out of that job after social media posts mocking an anti-death penalty activist and cheering on further executions, according to a defamation lawsuit.
The suit was filed Monday in Marion County Circuit Court by Ashley Kincaid Eve of Indianapolis, an activist who also is an attorney.
The defendant is Andrew Sutton, whom Eve identifies as a counselor in the Special Containment Unit (death row) at the federal prison in Terre Haute.
HIS pub’s vibrant decorations have brought cheer to Warrington every Christmas and have raised almost £9,000 for charity over the years. But no one can see Andy Wharfe’s fairytale-inspired display at The Lower Angel this year because of the coronavirus restrictions. Andy, who has run the Buttermarket Street real ale venue with his partner Andrew Sutton for 12 years, cannot open his pub in Warrington’s tier 2 because it does not serve food. He has decided to keep the decorations up anyway – behind closed doors – because he has been working on them since March and invited the Warrington Guardian to take pictures so the effort did not entirely go to waste.
