Lawrence has Sandra Bland's sister on

Yet again vilify the dead person to help the murderous scumbag cops.

This so called document is beyond suspect.
Breaking - the DA from the racist country now wants to conduct another autopsy. I would not give them back that body - not for anything.

The family attorney is saying they have no intention of returning the body to Texas. Perhaps some kind of accommodation, although the family understandably doesn't seem to be sympathetic to the need for a *third* autopsy (the family had their own autopsy performed after the first one was completed and the body released)

Just so many things wrong here.

3. I just heard that about the request to have Sandra Bland's body back...

because they messed up on the first one. Geez. The false arrest, her death, the screwed up video. Nothing wrong here, nope, nothing at all.

I hope her family gets justice, this is beyond appalling.

DA says the first autopsy was faulty - just like the video.
One more thing - policy in that racist country is that white undertakers do not pick up African-American bodies, but they made an exception for this one.

The entire form appears bogus with the usual selective leaking.

Someone needs to go to prison for this murder.

This is now out of control.

7. Yes, it is a failed attempt of a cover-up that is falling apart minute by minute...

There is little doubt in my mind she was murdered and the growing desperation by the county to try and cover it up just strengthens my belief.

And the video contradicts the police report. (police lied on the report about point of arrest)

9. A writ of habeus corpus for a corpse?

Kind of a funny thought...

Seriously, can that kind of summons be given to a non-governmental party and in order to force them to produce a non-living person? A corpse is evidence, so maybe all that is needed is just a court order to produce evidence.
