Inmates found guilty of HMP chapel riot, attacking Kenny Green
Three men have been found guilty of causing a bloody riot inside Newfoundland and Labrador's largest jail last February, that saw Kenny Green pummelled and attacked with homemade knifes and pieces of church pew.
Calvin Kenny, 23, Jody Clarke, 39, and Justin Harvey, 24, were found guilty by Judge Colin Flynn on Thursday, after Flynn determined the incident, which happened inside the chapel at Her Majesty's Penitentiary, was a riot.
Clarke and Kenny were also found guilty of assaulting causing bodily harm to Green. Harvey was acquitted of the same charge, but was also found guilty of causing malicious damage.
Kenny is currently serving time in a federal prison, Harvey is at HMP and Clarke is not in custody.
Green was awaiting trial on a second-degree murder charge in connection with Joey Whalen's death when the riot happened. He was later convicted of manslaughter and is currently serving time at a federal institution.
Surveillance video entered at trial for the three men showed dozens of inmates filing into the jail's chapel as members of the Salvation Army were preparing to start Sunday service.
One inmate is shown running towards the surveillance camera, covering it with a towel. Moments later, the towel drops and reveals complete destruction in the chapel, and inmates attacking Green.
Two other men, Justin Wiseman and Paul Connolly, have already been sentenced for their involvement.
Philip Pynn is also charged in relation to the riot. However, his case was severed from the others as the trial dealing with the HMP riot began too closely to the end of Pynn's second-degree murder trial.
