Perhaps if she had left the drugs alone, she wouldn't have been there in the first place. I really don't simply accept the story of a druggie at face value. There has to be more to this.

I'm guessing that despite her lifestyle, Perdue is still prettier than Anthony, who decided to degrade her out of envy and spite. The cutting off of Perdue's braids is a giveaway of her motive : Whenever a female murder victim is found with her hair chopped off, cops and profilers assume they're dealing with a female perp, because women target hair when they especially want to show contempt for their victims. As for Adams, she may also be envious, or she may simply have been too intimidated by Anthony to behave as a human being. I'm glad the other nurse did the right thing and reported this disgusting incident.

Even paper can be twisted enough times and therefore made thick enough to be difficult to tear. Ever ripped a phone book in half? It's the same concept. My gut feeling is that she's mostly to blame for this incident because of her behavior.

You have almost no details except the claims made by a drug addict's lawyer and you're ready to award 50 million? That my friend is insane. There is more to this. Her behavior was probably the mitigating factor. Just because she says she wasn't covered up doesn't mean she wasn't covered up. Drug addicts lie. I'm 100 percent certain that she told the story to sound like she wanted it to, and left out any details that would have explained what happened in the actual context in which it happened.

It's the male prisoners that may have been more dramatized.

booked into the jail on a drug charge. "It was a traumatic experience. It has messed up my nerves."

Yea, that has to be it. Her nerves must have been messed up by being strapped naked to a chair. It could not have possibly have been the drugs.

Except that other police officers wrote about their attempts to cover her in their reports. This is beyond disgraceful and the guilty "LEOs" should be held personally responsible.

-"I had never been treated like that before in my life," said Perdue, who was booked into the jail on a drug charge. "It was a traumatic experience. It has messed up my nerves."-

OK, I'm going to question this one. She was already messed up, seems to me, and I bet she's had all KINDs of "treatment" on her - good, bad, ugly; wanted and unwanted.

I think they made some highly questionable judgments for sure, but this gal is hardly an innocent, and I wouldn't take her word on it.

Possibly in this case, for some of the prisoners, its not like they caught a glimpse of something they haven't seen before.

Well, then let's have the next person exposed like this be your mother. Still think it's ok to treat people like this?

Despite the fact that this woman is probably "trash", she was in the custody of the State and NO ONE should be treated like this. I find some of the comments on this thread appalling.

I think the lawyer has dollar signs in the eyes and a big gravy train going CHOO CHOO! going through his head.

I think her lawyer can already smell the fine leather interior and hear the canvas-tearing scream of the new Ferrari V12 he's going to buy with just a portion of his third of the settlement. As for Shakita, I can imagine what she's going to buy with her winnings.

Are there any adults working in law enforcement down there?

If she was so out of control that they were worried about suicide, why didn't they transport her to a hospital and let her be naked there.

She, trash that she is, was treated abominably. Someone should lose her job but damages, oh 10 grand would do it for me. There is no terrible damage here other than to her dignity of which she has little.

Though, it should come out of the police budget (and not just simply from the tax-payers) -

Hmmmm...where does the money for the "police budget" come from? hahaha

Perhaps some of those whose rights Purdue violated that resulted in her arrests have never been treated like that in their lives before. Maybe Purdue's actions messed up their nerves. Maybe they should sue Purdue for, say, $10 million.

I can't argue that point. My concern is that by not punishing mistreatment severely, the police and 'system' there will learn that they can get away with a lot for only 10K. Of course, I think that prisoners should be treated harshly, child molesters should be put to death, etc. I'm just tough all around, I suppose!

trouble is the millions will come out of the pockets of citizens. I say fire the people who did this with prejudice and that will go a long way toward a solution.
