Even with an attorney ... you can be in there for 72 hours, and in that length of time ... you can be DEAD!

Very few people are held for 72 hours - that only happens when the police think they are very close to having enough evidence to charge someone with a felony.

Again, the article was written from the viewpoint of the decedent's mother.

Not only is she sure that her little angel did no wrong, but she stands to make more money than she's ever seen in her life if her claims are true.

It's amazing to me that - on a site whose entire purpose is to critique facile, liberal media spin - everyone here accepts the story of a clearly biased party as gospel truth.

Kind of hung up on that aren't you??

You have a far better chance of getting killed on your way to jail in a traffic mishap than you do in jail....does it ever happen, of course it does, people die in church at Sunday services

get over it....you are a hell of a lot safer in jail than in MANY big city "hoods"...
