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.

Faced with an arena-sized public-relations gaffe, Forsyth County officials quickly decided Thursday to postpone action on plans to build a 50,000-square-foot event center at Tanglewood Park.
People who live in Clemmons West near the park are complaining that they knew nothing of the event center plans until reading about it in Mondayâs Journal, and say an event center that close to their homes will disrupt their lives and spoil their use of the park.
âIt will be very obtrusive and very detrimental to the peace and tranquility we enjoy,â said Robyn Williams, who lives on Maidstone Lane near Tanglewood. âThere is someone from my family walking, biking or running there every single day. I donât go there to walk around a building. I go there to walk around the trees.â
Vaccinated teachers and students don t need to wear masks inside school buildings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday in relaxing its COVID-19 guidelines. The changes come amid a national vaccination campaign in which children as young as 12 are eligible to get shots, as well as a general decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
With COVID-19 cases back on the rise, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended on Monday that students and staff be fully masked, regardless of vaccination status, for the opening of the 2021-22 school year.
Most public schools in North Carolina, including those in Forsyth County, will return to school on Aug. 23, about the same time that the highly contagious delta variant is expected to peak, according to Dr. Christopher Ohl, an infectious disease expert at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
