It gets worse.

The 31-year-old Ph.D student was never in Texas where the crime occurred, but an identification via social media led to her being jailed.

@jgordon “We should have been able to do better.” Yes. Yes, you should have been able to do better. You did less than the minimum for 6 days. I hope she sues you all.
