Former jailer Gary Grimm is moved to tears as he recalls the day when he narrowly escaped death in the basement of the Parker County District Courthouse. He says it was thanks to the selfless intervention of inmates, who broke out of a holding cell to help him, that he survived the massive heart attack that would likely have taken his life.
“If they wished harm to me, all they had to do was sit there and do nothing,” a tearful Grimm told WFAA reporters.
