Killer Attacks Juror Who Had Voted Guilty

It was a juror’s nightmare: A murderer spotted a jail maintenance man who had sat on the jury that convicted him. The killer broke free, jumped the man and slashed his face so badly he needed 60 stitches.

“You thought I couldn’t get you, but I got you,” inmate Corey Jackson snarled as guards pulled him away.

The victim, Robert Manning, works at the Brooklyn House of Detention. He sat on a jury that convicted Jackson on April 10 in the slaying of three teenagers on a drug dealer’s orders.

Jackson, who was already serving a 25-year-to-life sentence for a 1994 homicide, received three more such sentences on May 9 and was sent to the Brooklyn jail to await transfer to a state prison.

In jail, the 23-year-old Jackson wears a red tag marking him as a particularly violent inmate, and has to wear handcuffs and pass through a metal detector every time he moves between areas outside his maximum-security cell block.
