Being my self in OC main jail I know what is happening to Ramos.
He is probably processed and in his cell by himself for his own protection.
The food consists of baloney sandwich and large cookie and small orange juice.
Probably third one today.
I can guarantee you that he is in big shock!
I still believe that he will walk within couple years same as that COP from San Francisco BART incident.
I don’t think he is used to eating baloney …
“I don’t think he is used to eating baloney”….. Hmmm
I did hated it too because it was on white bread and baloney is oxidized so it looks rely red somewhat bloody and smells bloody too.
I did trade it for the cookie or apple.
No burritos, tacos, enchiladas – lot of beans.
Over all not bad.
About twice per week he can buy things from the commissary and since he is in isolation with white band on his wrist he will not get even taste of “pruno” jail made alcohol.
Most importantly though, will he have free access to New Santa Ana? Ooops my bad. I guess that is his new Santa Ana.
there is still a trial.
A taste of their own medicine
“there is still a trial”…… Hmmmmm
I would prefer to change venue to China to safe money and to give defendants’ right to speedy trial.
