New Orleans man locked up nearly 8 years awaiting trial, then case gets tossed
There&#x27;s an inmate in LA County jail who has been there 9 years awaiting trial on attempted murder.  He is completely and totally institutionalized.  A very nice guy but intimidating.<p>Cops can arrest you for any reason, and if you can&#x27;t make bail, then they place you in jails with convicted violent felons, some on murder trials.<p>In LA jails, you have to be racist.  Depending on your pod and program, you have special requirements.<p>You often have to fight, especially if you are black or Hispanic.  If there&#x27;s a brawl inside the pod, you have to fight other races or you will be beaten by your own.<p>I sat in a tiny room for 11 hours with 50 inmates, half of which had face tattoos and were gang members.  A room where inmates had been beaten to death and the others just cover up the cameras.<p>Multiple times I wasn&#x27;t called to court, they were &quot;dry runs&quot;.  Mental torture and real risk required just for due process.<p>These types of systems only create more criminals.<p>The deputies act like psychopaths, taunting and roughing up inmates.  But not as bad since now the FBI has cameras watching them.<p>The person who interceded in my misdemeanor case and put me in jail was the former head of California Homeland Security.<p>His lawyer, also a former federal prosecutor, was in every court appearance lobbying the prosecutor.  He also represented the Chief of Police, the City Council and the Sheriff.<p>Their boss is a secretive billionaire whose former lawyer  became the new Supreme Court Justice this year after he lobbied  He is a very powerful person who hires former federal officials as political mercenaries.<p>This all happened because they wanted to protect a wealthy sex predator.  In 2-weeks, the Homeland official is actually testifying for the sex predator for his civil trial.  He is presumably testifying against my credibility.
