wait a minute, i thought texas wanted a do-over on the autopsy?????? this gets weirder and weirder.

Medical examiners ruled the death of Sandra Bland a suicide by hanging, and the autopsy uncovered no evidence of a violent struggle, a Texas prosecutor said Thursday.

Warren Diepraam, the first assistant district attorney of Waller County, released the findings at a press conference.

Bland was found dead in her Texas jail cell on July 13, three days after she was stopped for failing to signal a lane change. Authorities concluded that she hanged herself in her cell — but her family and friends expressed suspicion about the official account.

Diepraam said there were no defensive injuries on Bland’s hands. He said there were about 30 cuts on her wrists, and that the scarring suggests they were made two to four weeks ago, well before her arrest.
