It was worse than that, the reporting from an earlier story[0]

  ...Unable to pay her bills from jail, she lost her home, her car and even her dog.

There is not a jury in the country that will side against the woman. I am not even sure who will make the best pop culture mashup - John Wick or a country song writer?

(Also, what happened to journalism - no Oxford comma?)

As an aside AP Style is not use an Oxford comma, and that's been the rule for 50+ years https://www.prnewsonline.com/explainer-how-to-use-oxford-com...

This is upsetting.

		Yes, finding out how badly wrong you were is never fun. Of course the lack of ubiquitous Oxford comma use is itself and separately displeasing.

AP Style is simply wrong on this, then.

You have more faith in the country than I do.

		Normally, I would be a bit more grim, but people love their animals. I pray even the staunchest authoritarian would see the injustice of losing a dog.

Indeed let out on Christmas Eve with no money 1000 miles from your homeland.

Where your home was lost to foreclosure because one JUDGE did not look at the paperwork.

There should be a way to personally sue somebody when they don't do their job. Protecting the innocent. The JUDGE failed badly here.

Flimsy evidence would mean no warrant. Do your basic investigation please... Rubberstamping JUDGE caused this.

Why are they not named? Like they are a spectator. Infact they are the cause.

		TBF isn't it rather unreasonable that our system permits your home to be foreclosed while you're detained prior to a hearing? Also rather unreasonable to arrest someone who is clearly neither violent nor a flight risk. You could literally hold the trial via video conference at that point and there would be no downside.

anyone in the chain of responsibility should be punished so severely that they will be still crying about it in 2030
