In case you didn't see it, there's an unhappy update to that story: http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/kalief-browder-1993-...


I hope to see heads roll over this. Some have spent more time in pretrial detention than their maximum potential sentence would have been if found guilty. I don't understand how this could go on for so long when we have a 6th amendment.


That's so sad. I don't know what we expect from our jails but it's pretty plain that it either hardens or breaks people.
