On Monday, Amina Matheny-Willard sent a written statement that read:
“We maintain Cory Bigsby’s innocence and we are deeply, deeply disturbed by the unconstitutional and coercive actions taken by the Commonwealth through its agents at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail. We will be filing a federal lawsuit against the Hampton Roads Regional Jail at the conclusion of the criminal cases.”
News 3 has reached out to Matheny-Willard to try and clarify what actions she is referring to but has not heard back.
Bigsby is expected in court Wednesday morning for a hearing regarding his mental health.
