https://blackmattersus.com/6189-black-woman-found-dead-in-jail-cell-after-arguing-with-detention-officers/Wilson spoke to her lovely family that very Sunday morning and told them about her hearing, which was set to be on the following Tuesday. She promised to call back that evening but never did. Tuesday came but Wilson didnt appear at the court hearing, she was nowhere to be found.
After a sleepless night of investigating where their beloved daughter might have been, the family members were told on Wednesday that she had died on Sunday. The county coroners office reported that Wilson committed suicide.
I dont believe that. My daughter would not kill herself. Its not like this is the first time shes been incarcerated. No, she had too much to live for, Wilsons mother Lisa Hines told ABC7.
She died on Sunday but her family knew about her death on Wednesday. Why? If she actually committed suicide, they should have let them know before her hearing. There is every right to doubt whether Wilson committed the suicide herself or she was brutalized to death.

(1,689 posts)1. Well...
... a lot of people are going to become doubters of the family's concern after the comment "it's not like this is the first time she had been incarcerated"

Sadly, it is not that uncommon for African Americans to be incarcerated.

There's a very short shelf life on this one.

(15,882 posts)10. "a lot of people are going to become doubters" Not a lot of black folks, and damn few white folks,
I suspect.
Her momma was suggesting that this isn't an experience which would cause her to kill herself.
