Va Pilot Double standard onn Story involving people tring to kill themselves

Last week the VA Pilot post then delete a story about a man who killed himself at the JDR Court House in Chesapeake, but today they post about an inmate who try to hang himself in Chesapeake Jail. I guess the inmate trying to kill him self make a better story than some one who kills himself in a Courthouse, Whom wasn't an inmate..

CHESAPEAKE

An inmate at the City Jail was in critical but stable condition Wednesday after trying to hang himself a day earlier, Lt. Col. Jim O’Sullivan said today.

A Sheriff’s deputy found Carlton Edwards, 62, hanging in his jail block around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday, O’Sullivan said. The deputy cut him down and performed CPR.

Other inmates had last heard Edwards talking about three minutes earlier, he said.

“The deputy was able to revive him,” O’Sullivan said.

Edwards was taken by EMS to Chesapeake Regional Medical Center just after 8 p.m., O’Sullivan said. His status Thursday morning was not immediately available.

Edwards was serving time for statutory burglary in Virginia Beach, O’Sullivan said. He was being housed in the Chesapeake jail as a courtesy to that city, he said. Edwards was back in Virginia Beach custody Wednesday.
