77. Didn't he need to read her Miiranda rights to her? Does he? What about

The allowed phone call? It all seems very heavy handed from the beginning and then she was trapped. She met with a bail bondsman? Sorry not sure of details but even if it was suicide it's STILL the fault of the police officer and the jail. She should not have been arrested much less locked up for three days.
