How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Allen was mentally incapacitated in a car accident. Deputy Rex Calhoun and his wife, Lana, became Allen's caretakers in 2008, when they received power of attorney over him. They beat him to death a year later. Deputy Calhoun and Lana Calhoun were both indicted for murder. Rex was fired upon his arrest. Lana received 30 years in prison for murder. Rex pled guilty to causing injury to the elderly, the maximum punishment for which is a two-year sentence. Having spent more than two years in jail since his arrest, he was released when he plead guilty.
