The sixth amendment says that you get a trial, it also says you get a speedy trial. I do not what happened to him in prison, i can only imagine. He tried to commit suicide four times. This should not happen america in america. It is this report shortly happening to blacks hispanics.

City alone. All our nonprofit providers, [speaker not understood]. They do a fantastic job, they do a good job providing quality housing, housing, and keeping folks housed. We wanted to get as many people as shelter as possible. People didnt need to get housing ready. They needed to [speaker not understood]. The vast majority for chronically homeless single adults. We have a number of 43 1 units in the pipeline that should come online over the next two years or two plus years. Once theyre online, well hit our goal over 3,000, 386 units according to the plan.
