9. Why does it matter?

I think the more relevant part of the article lies here:

JAIL CITED

The jail where Bland died was cited three days after her death by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards for failing to complete visual face-to-face observations of inmates every 60 minutes as required by state regulations.

It was also cited for failing to produce written records to prove that jail staff had undergone required yearly training in the recognition, supervision, documentation and handling of inmates who are mentally disabled or potentially suicidal.

The jail also failed an inspection in November 2012 for failing to complete hourly observations after an inmate's suicide, state records show.

That jail had someone commit suicide just three years previous and still failed to take proper precautions to prevent another one - if indeed, Ms. Bland actually did commit suicide.

Gross Negligence at a minimum.

They had her in an orange jumper in an empty cell. Where did she get the recently-consumed pot? pnwmom Jul 2015 #4

Pot stays in your system for a good while, long after the high wears off. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #6

Blood tests are pretty accurate these days Nevernose Jul 2015 #10

Hmmm, I'm guessing it would have been a blood test at an autopsy... Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #14

No. Raw does not produce high unless heated. Heat activates THC. Med Marj is used for epilepsy. Dont call me Shirley Jul 2015 #31
