HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — A grand jury has made up our minds no criminal crime used to be dedicated by way of the sheriff’s place of work or jailers within the remedy of a black lady who died in a Southeast Texas county jail last summer.
But prosecutor Darrell Jorden says the Waller County grand jury on Monday reached no decision on whether the trooper that arrested 28-year-old Sandra Bland should face charges.
The Chicago-area woman was pulled over July 10 by a Texas state trooper for making an improper lane change. Dashcam video showed their interaction quickly became confrontational and she was arrested for assault.
Three days later, unable to raise about $500 bail, she was discovered dead in her cell. Relatives question the finding that she killed herself.
