the director of the Alabama Department of Forensice Sciences, Angelo Della Manna, said he hadn’t reviewed Dotson’s particular case file and couldn’t answer any questions about Dotson specifically.

Which automatically makes me incredibly suspicious of the Alabama Department of Forensic Services. You're in a court of law, testifying about what your department did, and you can't even be bothered to look at the file? Yeah, sure.

I mean, that's a hilarious defense.

"Hey boss they need you in court tomorrow about this specific Dotson case."

You'll see it with politicians all the time:

Reporter: Do you have any comment on [some scandal within your party]?

Politician: No, I haven't had time to [read the charge sheet | watch the video | whatever else].

Like the politician doesn't have a staff member whose entire job is tracking that stuff and giving the politician summaries of whatever's going on.

Desecration of human remains is a crime. Defund Alabama prisons.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's a lot to unpack in your comment. First of all, you were multiple prisoners??

[–] MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

As an Alabamian I came here to shit on Alabama. But you guys have already said everything I could say, and said it better. Probably because of my shitty Alabama education. Anyway, it makes me happy that someone is seeing what kind of nonsense goes on here.

He was killed for not repaying drug debts. His body was stiffening when they checked him on his own bed. Seems pretty obvious the inmates stole his heart. Probably swept him off his feet, too.

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Taking what the prison says at face value is naive at best.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I bet it's been used in some sort of carcosa, king in yellow, occult shit.

Prisons in the south are notoriously shady.

Somebody literally stole his heart, kind of romantic in a way.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But the very next day, they threw it away

[–] butterflyattack@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Probably ended up in someone's ramen.

I laughed.

Of all the possibilities, I hadn't considered him simply losing an honorable contest between warriors.

I was referencing a Futurama quote but same deal. ;)
