Can't these defense attornies concentrate on the merits of the case instead of worrying about the jail's menu or whether "WE" should be paying for health care? I for one, however, would chip in the $5 to see he gets a proper haircut and would recommend the rap music get turned down so he gets sufficient sleep so he can open his eyes during the photo op.

Let's move himn to China. They will chop his head off just like he deserves.

My husband also suffers greatly from malnutrition from being incarcerated over the past 4 1/2 months in a different county jail. His eyesight has been impaired from being in artificial light for 21 weeks, as there is no place to go outside at all, ever. The malnutrition has also affected an injured eye. There is no doctor or nurse at this jail, and they will not take him to the Dr. Unlike Mr. Crocker, my husband did not do in ANY way the things he's accused of by a vengeful granddaughter, but as there is no way to prove his innocence, he is suffering in jail. The public should remember that inmates are also people, and as such they should be treated humanely and decently. The inmates have to pay for their own haircuts, and my husband has only had one since being in there. That's all he's been allowed to have.

Please! This person is just playing the system! He is not starving, if he chooses not to eat it is a choice he makes. Cry me a freaking river! What about the victim?!?! I am sure he and his family would rather he be eating crappy food and have poor eye sight and still be able to hold their son again! Oh poor murder and "his" rights. Those defense attorneys should be ashamed of themselves.

I wonder how many people realize just how well these prisoners are being treated. Where else can you live in free housing with free utilities, free food, free clothes, $3 prescriptions, $10 Dr. visits (unless you claim you're indigent). He chooses by his behavior how his day is going to be, he also chooses whether or not he eats everyday. These prisoners are being served more meals than some children recieve in one day. Spare me the outcries of innocence with no way to prove it. No one gets accused of something without being guilty on at least some aspect of the accusation. The public would be truly outraged if they really knew just what these incarcerated people are given everyday. No one ever cares about the victims of these prisoners until it's them or someone in their family. Starving to death and going blind....Let me introduce you to Karma!!

Look at that poor poor victim in the picture, the Deseret news should be ashamed for printing this propaganda. Print the whole story, know all the facts, of course it is so much more interesting to hear about the poor prisoner being miss treated by the MAN. Unable to use a lap top, should I even start. Prisoners are given the opportunity to eat three times a day; it�s the jails fault he chooses not to eat?? To enlighten the public a little, this poor victim�s behavior (his behavior) has placed him in maximum security; he is a two officer full restraint prisoner inside the jail, so let�s take him right out to Standard Optical and get him glasses. �Yes� he will go to a local ophthalmologist along side you and me, no special time or place. That�s the way it works. We all remember another poor victim who killed an officer at the University Hospital who was caring for the needs of the prisoner; I believe it was the hard beds the prison provides that caused his back problems.
I am sure he will promise to be good for an eye appointment. Give me a break!
I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but this guy is so dangerous that he is not able to leave his cell unless fully restrained and accompanied by two officers even in the jail. Again HIS behavior dictates this, so spare me. This is a fact!
