Wrongly imprisoned woman
accuses Reno of cruelty
By SCOTT SONNER
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — Nearly
three years after a former
Nevada woman filed a law-
suit seeking compensation
for spending more than
three decades in prison for
a murder she didn’t com-
mit, her lawyers say the
city of Reno is continuing
to do everything it can to
delay and deny her justice.
The latest dispute over
Cathy Woods’ lawsuit
centers on the city’s insis-
tence she travel from her
home in Washington state
to provide a deposition in
preparation for a trial still
months away.
Woods’ lawyers say she
suffers from mental illness
exacerbated by 35 years of
wrongful imprisonment
for a 1976 murder, and
she’s too mentally fragile
to make the trip.
“There is a stunning
cruelty in the Reno defen-
dants’ approach to this
issue,” her attorney David
Owens wrote in a motion
filed Feb. 18 in federal court
in Reno. To them, “the fact
that she was wrongfully
convicted is her fault.”
Woods, 68, who now
lives near Anacortes,
Washington, is seek-
ing unspecified damages
from Reno, ex-prosecutors
and police she accuses of
coercing a fabricated con-
fession from her while she
was a patient at a Louisiana

pears in Washoe District
court in Reno, Nev.
mental hospital in 1979.
Woods received inad-
equate mental treatment,
including
electroshock
therapy, during decades of
imprisonment and still suf-
fers from severe paranoid
schizophrenia, her lawyers
say.
She was released from
prison four years ago when
newly available DNA evi-
dence from a crime-scene
cigarette butt linked the
1976 killing of a 19-year-
old Reno college student to
an Oregon inmate, Rodney
Halbower.
Detectives in Reno and
Northern California sub-
sequently identified him as
the “Gypsy Hills Killer.”
He was convicted last Sep-
tember of the 1976 kill-
ings of two teens in the San
Francisco Bay Area and
sentenced to life in prison.
