But the report did not include toxicology results, leaving questions unanswered about preliminary reports suggesting Bland consumed a large amount of marijuana shortly before her death. “We have found no evidence whatsoever in here that marijuana was smoked in that cell,” said Sheriff Glenn Smith. He added that investigators swept through every inch of Bland’s cell and even hired a local plumber to check the sewage drains for traces of marijuana. The report provides the most concrete answers yet in uncovering details of how her body was found hanging by a plastic garbage bag inside her jail cell on July 13. Bland’s death has been mired in public skepticism, prompting the Waller County district attorney’s office to treat her case as a murder investigation as more questions than answers have continued to stack up. Speculation has circulated that Bland must have already been dead and lying on her back when police photographed her for a mugshot, because her head was tilted slightly back and the grey wall behind her appeared to match the floor of her cell. -More In Links- [/quote] TYT does a good recap of everything, including a falsified video used as "evidence" by the police department. It's 15 minutes, but worth it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiSwzr-gbxY[/media] So in total: A woman is being tailgated, she changes lanes without signaling in order to get out of his way. She is pulled over for not signaling. The officer then asks her to exit her car, she refuses and he threatens to taze her. She gets out and shortly after she is presumably taken to the ground after going off camera. She is found dead 3 days later in her jail cell. It is face-value ruled a suicide, but inconsistencies inspire an investigation. She is found with large amounts of marijuana in her system, despite being in jail and with no evidence of marijuana. Terrible.
