Now The Urban Mission Alliance will call off their scheduled riot at the JPD headquarters. We all know they respect the finding of the MBI and will relax now that they know Jamal "kilt hisself." I'm waiting on the apology video from them.
Great! You were able to determine that a thug killed himself.
Now, who burned Jessica Chambers to death from the inside out?
Surprising that he had so much cocaine in his system that he overdosed yet was also able to fall asleep just prior to his arrest . . ..
Maybe swallowed some evidence to avoid further charges.
2:59 PM, actually, Chambers wasn't "burned from the inside out". You will find her manner of death consistent with a shake and bake meth lab accident.
5:11 where did you hear that? Everything I've read said that lighter fluid was poured down her throat and she was set on fire.
@3:26 - the cocaine was in baggies that he swallowed. It's very easy to reason that he swallowed the drugs while evading police then went home and went to sleep and his system had not yet digested the plastic enough to allow the cocaine to enter his system but did so later after he was arrested and the cocaine had moved to the small intestines where they were rapidly absorbed and resulted in the fatal arrhythmia.
