A right to a speedy trial is in the Constitution

Yeah, Spike TV? I thought they were rebranding that channel after Comcast gave them the pimp hand by dropping them from basic cable package

Seven years ago, a 16-year-old boy named Kalief Browder was plucked off Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, after being misidentified as a suspect in the theft of a backpack. Though he denied wrongdoing, he was taken to Rikers Island after a brief interrogation. There, he was held without trial for three years despite having never been convicted. Most of that time was spent in solitary confinement. He was finally released in 2013, but by all accounts he was irrevocably changed. On June 7, 2015, at the age of 22, Kalief Browder died by suicide.

that fucks it up a lot worse for me.....I was heated when I was watching but Im thinking hey this shit is getting attention, he may have a break coming smh

fuck this system
 
I learned some stuff about his situation in that first episode. I didn't know he was adopted. Normally that wouldn't matter but when dude said he was being watched all his life I was like damn. that was some real shit he said. I didn't know they held him on probation violation. I know they do that but a juvenile being held for 3 years on a violation is crazy. I waiting to see the rest of this shit. its gonna make me mad as hell but I gotta watch it. R.I.P. Kalief
