Inmate Dies After 3 Days in LA Jail Lobby
by TChris
A diabetic amputee who was released from a Los Angeles County jail languished for three days on a bench in the busy jailhouse lobby before he was noticed by deputies and rushed to a hospital, where he later died.
The Sheriff says that people often "linger" in the jail lobby, but it's difficult to understand why no county employee bothered to check sooner on an amputee who stayed on a lobby bench for three days.
