I’ll join the chorus. I agree that the early circumstances are too fuzzy in the story, but I’d really like to know what “context” you think can justify 1) having two males help strip the woman when there are five women there to do it, 2) those two males are the last to leave the room (getting in a little ogling?), and 3) leaving her there naked without even a blanket for six hours (the sheriff admits this happened).

The context, of course, would be that she was potentially suicidal. You don't want to leave her with anything with which to hang herself.

Leaving her in there naked is bad. Leaving her without a blanket is standard: you can hang yourself pretty easily using a blanket.

Using male deputies ... sounds like she may have been thrashing pretty good, and they needed some brute strength to hold her still. That the male deputies stayed behind and ogled her ... bad, if that's what they were doing.

The part that really raises the red flags for me is the very delicate manner in which the circumstances of her arrest are bypassed. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the lawyer is leaving all of those details out because they make her case a lot less sympathetic.
