Waller County Says Bland Autopsy Consistent With Suicide
Waller County, Texas officials believe Sandra Bland committed suicide in jail.
Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam told reporters that he was presenting physical rather than criminal findings, but said there was no evidence found in the autopsy of injuries to Bland’s hands or internal organs to suggest a violent struggle had taken place in the jail. Previously, a medical examiner called her death a suicide by hanging. Bland’s family disputes the finding.
There was no evidence the first autopsy performed on Bland was defective as was previously alleged by an attorney representing Bland’s family, Diepraam added.
According to the new autopsy findings, Bland’s injuries were consistent with having “a force against her back.”

All this tragedy over a traffic stop that shouldn’t have happened. Something needs to change before it becomes too late again and again and again.

Even if she DID hang herself, she may not have gotten into that frame of mind if an overzealous policeman hadn’t decided to escalate a situation and, in essence, jail her for refusing to put out a cigarette. The officer was still in the wrong and he should be punished for his role in this whole sad affair.
