It gets worse.
After the confrontation is escalated by the officer because she refused to put out her cigarette, Sandra is thrown into the grass, off camera. It is here that she pleads with the officer, telling him that she is hurt after hitting her face on the ground. Now, face down in the dirt, she is approximately 200 feet from Hope A.M.E. Church, which was her church during her time as a Prairie View student.
Fast forward to the county jail and we have to take a coherent look inside the mind of Sandy.
In the video she constantly repeats that she can’t wait for her day in court. She had also just landed the highest paying job of her life. She was not in a foreign place, as this area used to be like a second home. With those things all true, just what do we have in this story at this point?
We have the nauseating assertion that we need to understand that this young lady not only hung herself with a plastic bag, but that she also knew that something in the ceiling could hold her body weight. Oh yes, just disregard that it was her first time in the building. Accept that she decided to go on and kill herself knowing that her family was coming to get her.
Let’s just say that those telling that version are right. Could somebody please produce the psychiatric medicine that Sandra was obviously on to make so many bold and bad decisions with an educated mind. Without that, she is the most unlikely suicide candidate ever.
