OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two groups are suing to obtain jailhouse records on behalf of an Omaha man convicted of murder in 2009.
Antoine Young is serving a life sentence in the fatal shooting of Ray Webb in a restaurant’s drive-thru, plus 40 years on a related weapons charge.
In a complaint filed last week in court, the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska and the Nebraska Innocence Project says the Douglas County Corrections Director Mark Foxall improperly withheld records related to Young.
The Nebraska Innocence Project filed two open-records requests last year seeking documents from Young’s pretrial stay in the Douglas County jail, but its requests were denied.
Foxall has declined to comment.
The Nebraska Supreme Court upheld Young’s conviction in 2010.
