I’m all for law and order, but no one should get the death penalty for over traffic tickets.

Lemons’ relatives said Wednesday that they still don’t know why she didn’t get medical help sooner.

Because CO's don't listen to inmates; everyone's got something to complain about. Liabilty of some sort probably plays a part also.

Oh, I’m guessing drugs played a part in her life.

and a little boy is left with ashes in an urn for a mother.

There are times when suits are justified. This is one.

I hope someone sees that little boy has a goodly fund set up.

I’ve never heard of jail for “unpaid traffic tickets” in the US. What were the charges for which she was held or sentenced? Was DUI or DWI involved?

Ten days after being booked...

Why? Who wouldn't bail her out?

This is unconscionable

This is a great example why "health care" by government doesn't work.

I personally know about government programs and how useless they are

Four years ago I cut my leg at work, and within two weeks my leg was so infected with staph, I thought I was going to loss it. Workers Comp (state government program) could have cared less. I got one visit to a doctor, he gave me the wrong antibodies that were useless. I could not see the WC doctor until two weeks after my pills ran out,

I took matters into my own hands and checked myself into an emergency hospital for treatment. Workers comp wouldn't pay for it, because it wasn't approved. My insurance wouldn't pay for it because it was a WC claim.

Of course while they fought over who was responsible I would have had my leg cut off before I died from staph infection like this poor woman.

Since I'm not a moron and happen to like walking around with two legs, I paid for it and got my leg fixed.

If I was in a Ft. Worth jail, I'd probably be dead

I don’t care what she did, aside from murder, she should have gotten some medicine for crying out loud!

If the Tarrant County taxpayers have to pony up a few million in damages, they might want to revisit their jail procedures and make a few heads roll.

Traffic tickets shouldn’t be a capital offense.

If any of you would actually read the whole article you see she was jailed for driving without a license. Most likely a repeat and she was not willing to pay bail but rather ride it out.

Then...you would see she gets some sort of infection and raises hell saying she will slit her wrists rather than suffer the infection. (bells ans whistles go off and she is now a violent phsyco headed to a different area with different rules where what you say is not considered true...."My name is Jesus... Im from the planet Argon.."

The lack of hospital care between those two junctures and guards made a fatal difference. But, when you go through 20,000 a year it can easily happen.

But...she was in jail because she chose jail instead of bail.

“I can see an infection killing someone in the 1600s or the 1700s, but that shouldn’t happen today.”

A lot of people die in hospitals, Shannon. A former police chief recently died from a staph infection down here in South Texas.

Don’t you usually get a Denver Boot on your car for unpaid tickets, rather than stewing in stir?

That should teach her not to drive on the government roads.

I hope her surviving family sues and gets the county treasury for a few years. They can name a couple of buildings after her as well. The police that neglected her also should face wrongful death charges, or whatever is applicable for this circumstance.

Yes looking her up and makign her pay bail too will ensure you’ll get your money.

It is sad to see the money-making scam of traffic tickets has cost a woman her life.
