So far they can't when it comes to brain damage from dehydration. If that were actually true we wouldn't have so many people who are like him or worse. The police and guards need to be put in the very cell this poor guy was in. Only they need to get a much longer sentence, life in my opinion. I feel the same thing about prosecutors who hide evidence. They get the very penalty they are going after for the person they hid the evidence from not to mention the court. So much injustise in this country. Why can't they make laws that actually work for the people? Or at least give us the illusion it's working. The lack of humanity is what brings me to tears. We are not as civilized as we claim to be.
