Justice for Ta’Neasha Chappell
Videos
For four more hours, as Ta’Neasha’s condition deteriorated to a dire state. Meanwhile, officers accused her of faking and of acting like she was in kindergarten. One sergeant even told Ta’Neasha that she deserved to just lie on the ground “and suffer” because of her inability to dress herself. Ta’Neasha remained nonverbal, jaundiced and weakened to the point where she could not stand. Throughout this time, the jail nurse refused to see Ta’Neasha. Overall, more than 10 officers and a jail nurse all declined to get Ta’Neasha transported to the hospital, even as she reached a point where she had defecated herself, had filled buckets with bloody vomit, had become unable to stand or speak coherently, had fallen struck her head a on steel bunk, and had turned yellow.
