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.

I hope he also sues the state and gets his payday. I know this is taxpayers money and basically hurts them, but in my eyes, this is a good thing. The people, the taxpayers must hold their police and their government accountable and make sure they play by the book. If they don't, they need to pay. Obviously the cops and the woman also need to pay and get criminally and in the cases of cops and attorney removed from their job - without pay if course.
