Alabama still can’t find heart missing from prisoner’s body
Alabama still can’t find heart missing from prisoner’s body
Despite a hearing in federal court on Friday, no answers were found regarding the location of Brandon Clay Dotson’s heart.
You're viewing a single thread.
Of all the current things to worry about the last thing anybody should really be putting any effort into is a deceased person's missing internal organ that was removed after death.
It's horrible, yes, but so many horrible things play out every single day. This has no impact beyond psychological to the family involved. The guy is already dead. The heart won't bring him back. The heart won't stop them from suffering his loss.
I'm sure there are far more pressing things to investigate that impact the living and the masses. I know this is cruel and ignores emotion but if there was ever a reason to put the majority before the minority, this is one of those.
Gotta disagree. With “accidental” deaths ocurring regularly, organ harvesting might be a real concern in a system of for-profit prisons, like in Alabama.
You're talking about a single case.
We have people getting fucking murdered in prison all the time. https://chicagocrusader.com/215-bodies-found-buried-behind-jackson-mississippi-jail/
I assume you take this dumbfuck stance on ALL crimes and law enforcement right? The deed is done who cares anymore! Just living in the past!
I think law enforcement should mostly be based on a triage system. Biggest problems get the most resources. Minor problems get the backlog.
There are so many problems in prisons that actually need investigation that a single case of post-mortem organ harvesting is truly minor. This isn't a pattern of behavior, this is one single case. Prove me wrong.

Thanks for saying it for me lol
Did you read the article? It's literally the whole case for the family. The heart missing can't be forgiven and forgotten because they see it as a larger pattern of misconduct that the Alabama Department of Corrections has shown for a long time.
It's absolutely worth investigating because it's another piece in the larger case against the prison system in Alabama. That's not even considering that it's just the fucking right thing to do because people's grief is important. There's a reason post-mortem ritual has been a part of human cultures since before we were homo sapiens.
