Cop Lies – Hardly Anyone Notices

It is about the Sandra Bland case.

A former guard at the Waller County Jail told the attorney of Sandra Bland’s mother under oath that he falsified entries on a jail log, making it appear as though he had checked on Bland in the hour before she was found dead, when he had not.

According to a report from the Houston Chronicle, a source familiar with the state’s investigation of Bland’s death confirmed prosecutors were aware of the falsified records, but a Waller County grand jury decided not to indict anyone with the sheriff’s office.

Cannon Lambert, the attorney for Bland’s mother, said Rafael Zuniga, the former guard, told him he noted in the jail log that he saw Bland in her cell at 8:01 a.m., less than an hour before she was found hanged with a noose made from a plastic bag.

But according to the former guard’s new testimony, no one checked on Bland at that time, Lambert told the Chronicle. Zuniga said he had been given instruction to log future checks before they had been completed, according to the Chronicle’s report.

Orders were followed. Reports were made.
