BSO's POSITION ON THE STUN GUN INCIDENT
I just learned about this cool feature that is part of BSO's website called "Setting The Record Straight" (they give background from their perspective on media stories). Here's the link: http://browardsheriff.blogspot.com/ .
From BSO:
"Deputy Shoots shackled Man With Stun Gun In Broward Courtroom" (posted March 29):
"The following is information that was given to the Sun-Sentinel related to the article dated March 29, 2007, but was not included in their reporting of the story.
The inmate involved, Kevin Bradley, has a history of violent outbursts in the courtroom. In fact, the day before, because of fears he may once again become disruptive, the Judge's courtroom staff filed a "High-Risk Notification" form. This is a form that requests additional security in the courtroom for defendants that have a history of violence. According to the notification (filed the day before his court appearance), Bradley "has shown aggressive behavior in past appearances in court."

This information was given to the Sun-Sentinel, but apparently not considered relevant enough to include in the story.
Following the incident, it is standard procedure to take anyone who has been involved in a taser incident to the be medically checked out. Bradley suffered no injuries. The courtroom deputy that he grabbed however, did suffer minor injuries to his arm."
does anyone know whether the sheriff's department sought to intervene and offer help to deputy delaney before setting him up?
WoW! Even BSO has a blog now. What's next?? BCJ Inmates blog? Mike Satz's Favorite Lunchspots Blog?
That PD does not speak for all of us!
I would love to read a BCJ inmate blog. "Yo, my lawyer sucked. He done did nuttin fo me, yo."
BSO's own disinformation site. Like Jaab and the National Enquirer.
