Mitchell then asked Gene Palmer, a prison guard, to carry the meat into Clinton Correctional Facility and pass it to Richard Matt, one of two convicted killers who cut their way out of the New York prison more than two weeks ago, the source said. Palmer's attorney says his client was unaware there was something in the meat.
