(14,733 posts)Is it that they gave her a 32 gallon trash can, instead of a little 1 gallon one, maybe? That the can has a liner in it again, despite the claims that A) she hung herself with the liner and B) they didn't touch anything in it afterwards? Or something else?

(3,937 posts)also that the can is right in the middle of the cell (more obvious in other pics). The largest trash can you find short of a dumpster, for one person in a cell that lacks...things to throw away.
Why replace the liner? If it was there in the first place (a huge "if" and an inmate hung themself with it, why replace it ???
Wanted to see if others see anything else.

(19,339 posts)What kind of trash is a prisoner generating? If it's not attached to the floor, wouldn't authorities worry it could be used as a weapon? Wouldn't authorities be concerned with prisoners using it as a toilet? I know the perspective is skewed on that photo, but it looks like the kind of trash can I leave at the end of the driveway.

(793 posts)...I've heard the voicemail she left a friend, ostensibly from this phone. Yet the morning of her death she asked how to use the phone and upon getting instructions did not actually place a call.
Does not compute.

(35,356 posts)How long's your phone good for?
I charge up my phone and take it to where I work. Often it's down to 10% charge by the time I leave work 9 hours later. Depends if it gets and holds a signal or if it's always having trouble polling the cell tower.
72 hours? If it's off, it's good. If it was left on, it's a brick.

And they even thought to line the ally-sized can for one cell with a fresh oversized bag for more comfort, but not to be used in a set up, not at all?

(45,120 posts)I can't figure what else it could be.

But from all the tv shows I see, they have the jailee remove shoe laces so that they don't hang themselves.
And yet this cell has a large rubbermaid style trash bucket with a 30-gallon plastic trash bag. A fucking plastic bag!!?! Plus that arm appearing to hold the camera, convenient for hanging.
This whole case smells, from start to finish. And yet I'll bet there's no one here, except for the handful of police apologists, who believe that the investigation will be thorough, honest, or transparent. That said, Freddie Gray's killers have been indicted, as has that cop in North Charleston, so maybe we'll be surprised?

(24,780 posts)The supposed self reporter suicide attempt, the trash bag story, the edited video everything. I don't got a second believe the suicide story. And regarding claims of a "technical glitch" in the video. That's just impossible. If part of the video file became corrupted, the corresponding audio would too.
