I don’t think it’s right to deny her medical treatment. My original comment was simply directed toward the foolishness of tangling with the legal system in the first place. That doesn’t justify police brutality and a lack of care, but someone who blows off a preliminary hearing doesn’t sound like a very cooperative person to start with. We also ONLY have her side of this story, and everyone should pretty much understand that means it’s only going to be framed in a way that helps her legal case. There’s so much more left unsaid here, and I can’t believe some FReepers are ready to believe everything reported like it’s the gospel truth.
There are valid reasons why a person might miss the preliminary trial, having to go to,your job or face being fired are just one of those reasons or perhaps she didn’t have transportation.
Not everybody has the means to deal with the legal system as they should and, considering just how out of 1984 the government is becoming, as a Freeper we should be a bit more understanding since any one of us, who love freedom, are now basically considered enemies of the state.
