It took more than a month for Georgia cops and prosecutors to view surveillance video from a Walmart that would have exonerated a 57-year-old Indian-American man from attempted kidnapping charges – instead relying on false accusations from a white woman.

As a result, Mahendra “Mick” Patel remained in jail for 46 days on fabricated felony charges of criminal attempt to commit kidnapping, simple assault, and simple battery after Cobb County prosecutors brought the case before a grand jury.

In those 47 days he lost 17lbs. Thats a kilo a week.

She’s made 20 complaints in recent months. She should be charged.

DAs are inexplicably judged based on the number of convictions they have. Perverse incentives.
