'Bucky' Files Suit Against Sheriffs

Convicted cop killer Ralph "Bucky" Phillips is suing the sheriffs of Chautauqua and Chemung counties, claiming he was mistreated while being held in the county jails.

Phillips claims sheriffs Joe Gerace and Chris Moss violated his civil rights by, among other things, not allowing him to exercise outside of his cell, have visitors or get medical attention for his back.

No court dates have been scheduled yet in the case.

Phillips is serving a life sentence for shooting and killing New York State Trooper Joseph Longobardo during the longest manhunt in state history. He also shot and wounded troopers Sean Brown and Donald Baker Jr.

Has anyone taken up a 'stewardesses ready to shoot' angle with regard to career changes and Mr. Phillips' unique appeal?
