I have often thought about this death of this Aboriginal Elder back in January 2008 with disbelief of how can this happen this should never of happened. My immediate thoughts were of the guards, was this a form of punishment? what were they doing. Now we hear that
"They had plenty of water, the air-conditioning was working in the front and they were listening to music."

You be the Judge.
