why did you ignore my first questions?
Shouldnt people have the whole story?? or just the CSMs detail of his crim record?
Isnt that reducing him to a crim, who got what he deserved, karma, ?? Reducing him to undeserving? No?
But the people who did this to him, dont even get a slap on the wrist. The buck falls to the people in the community, financially.
THe system gets away with it again.
The questions looked pretty rhetorical to me, Lucy, and we are on much of the same page with this subject, even if you have been having trouble grasping that from the beginning. We have exactly the same gripes about the outcome.
If you want the whole story, why are you getting up in arms over me pointing out that CNN chose to provide a simplistic one?
Here is the snip from the AP version I read, that didn't make the cut in papers that like a simple story, or sources Google will pop right up for us;
quote:
Attorney Matthew Coyte said his client ended up in solitary confinement after someone noted he was suicidal. He was so neglected, Coyte said, he was left in his cell for months at a time, had untreated dental problems and toenails that grew so long they curled under his feet.
The county defended its operation of the jail following the initial $22 million judgment in January 2012. It argued that Slevin was offered a chance to join the general jail population, but declined and the only option was to place him in one of the jail's segregation cells.
The county had also said that Slevin's criminal history at the time of his arrest included out-of-state convictions for robberies, burglaries, drunken driving, receiving stolen property, firearms violations and, possession of drugs.
