Erin Sharma Biography
Erin J. Sharma (née Donald, born April 24, 1976) is a former corrections officer for the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons. She was sentenced to life in federal prison in 2009 for causing the beating death of an inmate at the maximum security unit of the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex near Coleman, Florida. Prosecutors said that after inmate Richard Delano grabbed her arm through a food slot and bruised it, she and another guard (later revealed to be her supervisor) arranged for him to be assigned to share a cell with a notoriously violent inmate, knowing Delano would be harmed.
Sharma was the daughter of an Army soldier, and moved around frequently during her childhood. She graduated high school a year early, and began working as a corrections officer in Washington in 1997. She married Rajesh “Roger” Sharma, a fellow corrections officer, in 1999. They moved together to Edgefield, South Carolina; where Erin got a job as a corrections officer at FCI Edgefield. When they gave birth to a daughter, they decided to move to Florida to be closer to Erin’s mother.
On February 3, 2005, Richard Allen Delano, a convicted methamphetamine dealer, grabbed Sharma’s arm through a food slot, bruising it. She then said to him, “You’re a dead man”. She received minor first aid treatment and was sent home for the rest of the day. On March 1, Delano, who had a reputation as a snitch, was transferred into a cell with John Javilo “Animal” McCullah, a convicted murderer who had assaulted all of his previous cellmates. Prior to the transfer, witnesses overheard Sharma encouraging McCullah to attack Delano, but to do so on a day when she was not at work.
During Sharma’s trial, Raby testified that Sharma’s supervisor, Michael Kennedy, proposed that Delano be transferred into a cell with McCullah, believing that McCullah would give Delano “a good [butt] kicking and head-knocking”. On November 2, 2009, the U.S. Justice Department announced that a grand jury had indicted Kennedy on one count of conspiring to violate Delano’s federal civil rights and one count of violating his civil rights by arranging for another inmate to assault him.
On October 26, 2009, Senior U.S. District Judge Patricia C. Fawsett sentenced the 33-year-old Sharma to life in federal prison. Fawsett said Delano’s death was “an expectable result” of the transfer, and that she “took advantage of her superior position” to gain revenge on Delano. Therefore, Delano’s death amounted to second-degree murder. Fawsett also found that Sharma had perjured herself on the witness stand when she disputed Raby’s testimony, saying that it ran counter to “the overwhelming evidence” of Sharma’s involvement in the crime. The perjury finding qualified Sharma for a two-level obstruction of justice upward departure from the federal sentencing guidelines. Sharma’s attorney said he would file an appeal. On August 24, 2010, the Eleventh Circuit of the US Court of Appeals affirmed Sharma’s convictions and life sentence.
On July 29, 2009, the jury found Sharma guilty of both charges.
On July 8, 2010, Kennedy was found guilty of both civil rights counts. The jury did not reach a unanimous finding that the violations resulted in Delano’s death. Kennedy was sentenced to nine years in federal prison.
