These stories are ridiculous. Talk about justice delayed is justice denied.
The story about the other guy, the one who killed himself, was even worse. He sat in jail for 3 years over the charge of stealing a backpack and punching a guy in the face, and then the charges were dismissed.
Now, it seems to me like he was a very troubled person, but I doubt that even if he’d been tried and convicted that he’d have been sentenced to three years on those charges.
Can’t even the worst public defender go to a judge on this type of thing.
