 Thu Feb 01, 2007 9:50 pm Woman miscarries after jail guards fail to get medical help |
|
| Quote: | A woman who lost her premature baby a day after she was thrown in jail is suing the police department and two arresting officers who repeatedly ignored her pleas for medical help.
A police videotape released Tuesday shows Sofia Salva telling officers numerous times last Feb. 5 that she was pregnant, bleeding and needed to go to a hospital.
After the ninth request, the tape shows, a female officer asked: "How is that my problem?"

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars

That is the saddest story I have heard in a while. Those officers deserve a life sentence. Disgusting.

That's horrible. And I'm 90% sure that the officers can be charged for neglecting her obvious need for medical attention - and they should be.
