Are there any details describing how this came to be? It’s unbelievable that he was forgotten.

He probably saw it on an episode of Man vs Wild.

Yeah, I noted that, too. I’m WAY taller than him, and I doubt my arm span is 6 feet.
(I need to go measure this somehow.)

He had ten feet to unfold. Stretch Armstrong.

I concur the kid needs to get a ton of cash.
What gripes me is YOU AND I — the taxpayers — get to pay for this screw up.
I’d love every DEA agent to get his pay docked proportionately to pay the fine. (And apply this to all government agencies.)
A little personal financial incentive to keep crap like this from happening would be the ticket to getting this stopped.[/quote]
As much as I love reading your posts in general Jewbacca, I hope you’re kidding about docking the pay of every DEA agent to pay for this. Not that I’m against getting the money from that agency, but if they’re gonna do that it should only be from THAT department since it was their fault…or, just the individual(s) directly involved.
Sure, it sounds nice in theory to say “fuck it, punish them all, they’re all sort of responsible right?”…but how the hell could you justify taking money out of another DEA agent’s paycheck who lives/works across the country, is 100% straightedge and upright in his dealings, and was in no way connected to this? You can’t. You punish the people directly involved, end of story. “Group punishment” is horseshit, and does nothing to improve long-term cohesiveness, functionality or morale, but in fact damages them.

Looks like he’s seeking $20M

Leo’s, judges, and the DA’s office have implied immunity protection. In order for them to be criminally guilty of anything while on duty you would have to prove that they willfully planned/intended to violate an individuals rights. This immunity protection is an invention of the justice industry and consistently seems to protect the worst officials at the expense of the best, and the rest of us for that matter.

$20m actually seems like a bargain in this case

I’m sure plenty of people would go without food and drink their own piss for 5 days if they knew it was going to end on day 5. I imagine it’s a different thing entirely when you seriously believe you are going to die.
I’m a bit confused by this story, or atleast the details that have been presented thus far. If the DEA agents not only told him he was free but offered him a ride home, how did he end up in the cell? Like was there a “ok kid you’re free, but go in this cell for a sec while we get the keys to the car…”

That’s what doesn’t make sense. If they said he was free to go unconditionally, why was he placed back into handcuffs and put in a holding cell? Did the paperwork for the release not make it to the officer in charge? No one else went into the cells during those 4.5 days? No wonder they are re-evaluating their policies and procedures.
There has to be more to this than simply forgetting about the guy.
