Brickbat: Deadly Squeeze

A jury has found former Boulder County, Colorado, sheriff's deputies James O'Brien and Adam Lunn guilty of manslaughter in the death of Demetrius Shankling. The two took Shankling, who was handcuffed and intoxicated, to a detox center. They placed Shankling, who was 6 feet tall, stomach down in a van in a compartment that was less than 5 feet long. They pressed on the door to close it, forcing Shankling's legs to wedge up against the door. When they arrived at the detox center, Shankling was not breathing.  An autopsy ruled that Shankling died of positional asphyxiation, with alcohol and amphetamine as contributing factors.

“I want to start by acknowledging the tragedy,” Slinkard said. “Absolutely, hands down, this was a tragic event and that needs to be considered. My clients have had the weight of this incident on their shoulders for the past three years. But it’s sad because it was an accident. Accidents can’t amount to crime.”

I am not a lawyer like you (presumably) are, counselor, but I'm quite certain you're wrong about that. Just because you didn't intend for something to happen doesn't excuse you from taking responsibility for it happening. As any drunk driver who winds up killing somebody could probably tell you.

But did they follow training? Internal procedures always trump laws.

What color was their skin? That’s what really matters in these cases.

Wait a minute! Nothing about dead dogs? They could not possibly have followed procedures!

[Bubba Jones]

This sounds like a drug-related death.
