In response to "I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to this...I kinda just assumed she was like a Freddie Gray case -- nm" by Jim

Nah. She died 3 days later--likely connected only by the fact that she was in jail as a result of what looks like an illegal arrest.

She shouldn't have been there in the first place, but that's a civil claim.

IM: although as I mentioned above, the officer could also be criminally liable for acts during the arrest - ML Jul 23, 12:38 3
- But he certainly can't be tried for murder or manslaughter or anything like that, right? -- (edited) - Jim Jul 23, 12:47 2
  - Not as a result of the stop/arrest--there would have to be probable cause that he then separately murdered her at the jail. - ML Jul 23, 12:52 1
    - Oh yeah...somebody getting paid for this. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 12:53
Didn't even have to give her the nickel ride - jangles Jul 23, 12:36
