Attorneys for Lombardo have filed court papers claiming he was abused in a federal prison in Butler, N.C. The 84-year-old Lombardo was sentenced to life in prison in 2009 after being convicted in the 2007 landmark Operation Family Secrets trial. The government replied on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014, requesting Lombardo's motion be dismissed because it should have been filed in North Carolina.

FILE - This undated file photo provided by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History shows George Stinney Jr., the youngest person ever executed in South Carolina, in 1944. Supporters of Stinney plan to argue Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, that there wasn't enough evidence to find him guilty in 1944 of killing a 7-year-old and an 11-year-old girl. The black teen was found guilty of killing the white girls in a trial that lasted less than a day in the tiny Southern mill town of Alcolu, separated, as most were in those days, by race.
