I don't think she was arrested on flimsy evidence; there was no evidence.

 

Somedody lifted her signature and digitized it. That is identity theft. She was the victim.

An undecover investigator bought some shit for about, what was it, $1000 and had a phony appraisal done for less then $5000 with her digitized signature. This place was practicing fraudulent business practices and using her name without permission. That business should get their ass hung. They arrested the wrong person.

 

As for the prison/jail she was in, in the USA there is a doctrine called "Do the crime, do the time" which implies whatever shit happens to you while in jail/prison, you had it coming to you, even if you are innocent.

Museum director died at SeaTac prison of ulcer infection

 

 

The autopsy showed that an indicted director of a Thailand museum died at a federal prison in SeaTac of natural causes.

 

A spokeswoman for the King County medical examiner's office said Friday that Roxanna Brown died of peritonitis, an infection caused by a perforated gastric ulcer.

 

The 62-year-old U.S. citizen died early Wednesday at the Federal Detention Center while being held for an investigation.

<< If properly treated, typical cases of surgically correctable peritonitis (e.g. perforated peptic ulcer, appendicitis, and diverticulitis) have a mortality rate of about <10% in otherwise healthy patients, which rises to about 40% in the elderly, and/or in those with significant underlying illness, as well as in cases that present late (after 48h). [color:red]If untreated, generalised peritonitis is almost always fatal[/color]. >>

Using your source Flash, I get the impression she died as a result of dehydration. I get the feeling that from the time she was arrested to the time she died, the government might have 'forgotten' to feed and water her. Shit, because of her medical conditions, she most likely was on a special diet.

 

This is what your source says:

 

[color:red]" Treatment

Depending on the severity of the patient's state, the management of peritonitis may include:

 

General supportive measures such as vigorous intravenous rehydration and correction of electrolyte disturbances.

Antibiotics are usually administered intravenously, but they may also be infused directly into the peritoneum. The empiric choice of broad-spectrum antibiotics often consist of multiple drugs, and should be targeted against the most likely agents, depending on the cause of peritonitis (see above); once one or more agents are actually isolated, therapy will of course be targeted on them.

Surgery (laparotomy) is needed to perform a full exploration and lavage of the peritoneum, as well as to correct any gross anatomical damage which may have caused peritonitis.[1] The exception is spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which does not benefit from surgery.[/color]

Calling the US judicial directorate the "DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE" is akin to calling the defense department "THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE."

 

If she had embezzled $5 million from a bank, she'd have never spent a second in the slammer.

 

You want to see larceny on a grand scale; check out the new US Farm Bill.
