How do you know her version of the story is the correct one? Are you sure she was really strapped down and tasered while restrained? We know she was drunk and belligerent, her recall might be imperfect.

I am not saying that police and prison guards don't abuse prisoners, but people in custody aren't always right either.

I think it boils down to:

- she was seen leaving the scene strapped to a gurney en route to jail

- the taser marks were visible for weeks in 3 separate areas of her body

- she was psychologically damaged. Literally broken for weeks emotionally. It still manifests in strange ways over a year later.

- we ran into another girl she was in jail with at court during pre trial. She was really concerned for my friends emotional well being after "what happened in there".
