How does this lady or her family not get a lawyer after the first couple of days to get that shite resolved?

She missed her mom's 80th birthday party because of this.
That'll look nice on the lawsuit.

That lady's son goes to Millsaps? That is one crazy expensive school for what looks like an office worker.

That's some great internal control there.

Not a chance. She'll get lost wages, attorney fees, and a small amount for her troubles.
That's not necessarily true. I recently read an article on the average compensation a person wrongfully detained gets and if I remember correctly it's something like a few thousand dollars per hour in custody. This lady spent about 336 hours in jail. I'm guessing she'll get at a minimum somewhere around half a million dollars, maybe more. In fact, probably more.

The worst part is, it'll come straight from the taxpayers and the department won't skip a beat.

doubtful b/c you're dealing with different jurisdictions, although i'd imagine (hope?) race was on the rap of the person with the warrant
warrants are warrants are warrants. race, creed, age, sex, etc doesn't matter. the only things that may help you are if you're a somebody/connected and/or if you're an LEO (or connected to LEO)

from the article
quote:
She had been allowed to call her husband, who called her pastor, the Rev. E. Craig Wilson of New Generation Fellowship in Kenner. They contacted two New Orleans attorneys, who were trying to help.
quote:
One of the Louisiana attorneys, Ron Richard, called Sean Tindell, a Gulfport attorney and state senator, while Charles was still in Louisiana. The Louisiana attorneys were looking for more information on the charges. Richard tried to tell the Mississippi authorities they had the wrong person while Charles was still in Louisiana. He said they could not provide him much information, and each agency he contacted had different information.
"It was just a cluster," he said. "It was heartbreaking for this lady."
Tindell was trying to get a bond set for her release from jail while she was still in Louisiana.
