CLEVELAND - As T.J. Lane's attorney appeals his life sentence, it appears the 19-year-old convicted of killing three Chardon High School students in a shooting rampage is having trouble adjusting to prison.
Prison officials confirm that, in July, Lane attempted self-mutilation and tried to give himself a tattoo.
Lane was placed in segregation for 10 days due to those incidents.
In recent months, Lane was also given a verbal reprimand and lost 10 days of recreation time for refusing to do assigned prison work.
Lane's attorney Michael Partlow is appealing Lane's life sentence arguing that a juvenile convicted as an adult should not be sentenced to life in prison.
Lane was 17 on February 27, 2012 when he shot and killed students Daniel Parmertor, Russell King Jr, and Demetrius Hewlin and injured Nick Walczak, Joy Rickers and Nate Mueller.
Partlow is doing an interview with NewsChannel 5 Tuesday to discuss the appeal. Check back for more on that part of the story.
