That was about 30 minutes after he'd last been seen alive, according to the report of his autopsy.<BR/><BR/>Days after the hanging death of Rollins, county leaders told The Herald-Sun they'd await the outcome of the Sheriff's Office investigation to determine if additional safety precautions were needed to ensure the jail was a safe place for its inmates.<BR/><BR/>According to Deputy County Manager Carolyn Titus, it is routine procedure for the Sheriff's Office to investigate a jailhouse death, ensure no foul play was involved and then recommend any adjustments that need to be made to the facility.<BR/><BR/>Titus said that the Sheriff's Office made no such recommendations and expressed confidence in the safety of inmates housed at the jail.<BR/><BR/>Rollins, a father of eight, was without a pulse when he was discovered. He was taken to Duke University Hospital, where he was declared brain dead the next morning and died a short time later.<BR/><BR/>He was found hanging from a window frame in his cell. But the Sheriff's Office says there is no need to adjust cells by removing items from which an inmate could be hanged. Sheriff's Office Investigator Tom Mellown, who investigated the case, said suicidal individuals can hang themselves from anything, so long as they can apply enough pressure to the neck to block the passage of air.<BR/><BR/>Yet in the past, the Sheriff's Office has requested money from the county to rid cells of vents based on the argument that the vents present a safety threat and an opportunity for hanging. Mellown, who as investigator has no part in budgeting, could not comment on those past requests, he said.<BR/><BR/>Mellown's criminal investigation into Rollins' death determined there was no foul play. From conversations with guards, jail employees and four or five inmates, Mellown determined there were no indications that the 27-year-old inmate was suicidal, he said.<BR/><BR/>One inmate did tell the investigator that Rollins never responded to him when he tried to chat with him from an adjacent cell. Another inmate told the investigator Rollins talked to him about wanting to end his life. But according to Mellown, the inmate said he never told any jail guards or officials of Rollins' intentions.<BR/><BR/>One inmate who was in the jail at the same time as Rollins told The Herald-Sun that, contrary to the Sheriff's Office's investigation, the troubled inmate told anyone who would listen that he wanted to end his life. But the guards, he claimed, were either too busy or didn't care and ignored Rollins' repeated pleas for help.<BR/><BR/>Rollins was distraught, the source said, over relationship issues involving a woman. Rollins was being held in the jail on a charge of assault on a female. His bond was $50,000. It was unclear whether the assault victim was the same woman with whom he was romantically involved.<BR/><BR/>According to the Sheriff's Office, no red flags arose during a 10-question psychological assessment that Rollins, like all inmates entering the jail, was subject to when he arrived at the facility Feb. 6.<BR/><BR/>Jail procedure calls for inmates to be administered the test only upon arrival, regardless of how long they are to be held in the jail. But if an inmate reaches out for help or if jail employees notice an inmate acting in a way that demonstrates his or her psychological state has changed, they will be referred for reassessment.<BR/><BR/>Rollins was not referred for any such assessment. <BR/><BR/>THIS is the SAME man who "INVESTIGATED" my brother's death, and you all still think HE and LE are to be trusted at all?!?!<BR/><BR/>AND, again, NO autopsy was done for my brother, AND we were LIED to and told one was done, plus threatened!!!!!<BR/><BR/>For the love of God people, DO SOMETHING!!!!<BR/><BR/>Rhonda Fleming<BR/>Durham SURVIVORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-51723269252145553012008-03-03T16:41:00.000-05:002008-03-03T16:41:00.000-05:00My name is Rhonda Fleming, and I am writing this l...My name is Rhonda Fleming, and I am writing this letter and posting it on every news and blog site possible, to seek recognition, aid, and to educate the masses to the unfathomable abuses and crimes that are allowed to be continued without ANY help from our government concerning the murder of my brother in Durham, North Carolina in 2005, and many other crimes involving a very long list of injustices committed by Law Enforcement, and not just in the Carolina's.<BR/>The media and world have focused too much attention to this one case, as countless other cases have been completely left at the wayside! During the three years I have spent gathering evidence that they have completely ignored, have made numerous official requests and complaints to countless officials in NC, and Washington DC, all to no avail. <BR/>The focus is on one case by a city that is totally corrupt, yet the Department Of Justice, Administrative Office Of The Courts, Congress and many other official legislative, and judicial branches sits idly by, watches and does nothing!<BR/>The lawsuit made by the Duke LAX team will shed a bit of light onto the deliberate attempt and conspiracy of many, to care less about the lives, laws, and rights of citizens, and instead use them and us as political pawns on their nefarious road to perdition.<BR/>What is the big shock here? The families have every right to sue the city for negligence of an entire political system that failed miserably! This is by far NOT the biggest case to be media worthy, but one that has brought to the light of day a sample of what people in power do every single day and nobody even knows or cares!<BR/>Well, I am here to tell the WORLD and every entity watching, that As God is my witness I will not go to my grave without speaking out about the same system that has not only covered over my beloved brother's murder, but have mocked us, threatened us, and continue to deny us the right to know not just how my brother died, but everything that was done and NOT done!<BR/>I have contacted EVERY person their is imaginable, excluding the President, and still have been denied not just documents, but the right of a family to know how their loved one met their death, and to know what was done, and not done to his body!<BR/>We have been lied to and threatened by the Durham Sheriff's Department, have been shuffled through 3 years and 3 District Attorneys, countless complaints filed to numerous governmental agencies, even our own Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and STILL NOTHING!<BR/>We have sent our documents that we have been able to glean from the system to Mr. Ekstrand, but due to his obligation to the LAX team is unable to represent us but would if he could. I have sent him, the FBI, and several others copies of the BLUE blood coming from an entrance wound, none from 2 exits wounds, a inconclusive and actually negative GSR screen, proof of fraud and collaborative deception, and have been to hell and back in this maddening chase to expose this city and system for allowing crimes against humanity to go unannounced, while innocent people suffer from the hands of the very powers who took oaths before God and man to protect and serve!<BR/>So, here my family and I are coming forward to beg the media to help us to solve my brother's death, and expose a system of debauchery and evils that not only baffle the mind, but leaves you breathless and speechless! I have tried and done all that I can alone, and now have 2 months before the state can be held liable for not just one mans death, but expose a system that feeds off the helpless, then leaves them for dead!<BR/>So, I will say the purpose of this letter now is to also gain attention to the enumerable failures within the system, to right a countless injustice done to a plethora of lives that have been left completely devastated, and to make our government be held responsible and accountable for FAILING us the citizens, and the dead who have no voice but scream beyond their graves! The truth is worse than a nightmare because it is REAL and more HORRIFIC than you could ever<BR/>have imagined!<BR/>Never could I have guessed such wickedness by not just individuals, but extremely organized and calculated, and failed by the very country and leaders we so blindly put our hopes and faith into! My heart bleeds for the truth, and mourns those who have been so wickedly tortured! My brother and countless others did NOT die in vain, and I will be damned if I will let fear keep me from Justice For Jack, but JUSTICE For ALL!<BR/>Imagine instead, your child or loved one MURDERED, and not only does it take Law Enforcement over a YEAR to send ONE single report, they LIE to you from the beginning, and not only REFUSE to do any investigating, but fail to adhere to ANY role of conduct and protocol, then threaten you and LAUGH at you?! <BR/>Yes, I have the utmost sympathy for the team, but let us not forget just how many OTHER cases have been corrupted by the exact same system! WHAT has been done to answer and solve the murders of my brother, Janet Araboa, and Michelle Young?! What voices have they now they are dead?! <BR/>Where is the outrage, and public and media attention for our families?!<BR/>Nifong is by far the only knave on the long list of miscreant marauders who care nothing about rights of citizens, and care only for what is in "their" best interest! Wake up people and ask why the Department of Justice has not intervened, and why do our nations leaders just watch and do nothing about an abjectly corrupt and politically ran city?!<BR/>I never would have imagined what I now know, and am sick that nobody has taken our pleas, and heard our cries! Our loved ones not just dead, but murdered, and we will never see them hear them, or feel their touch ever again! Unfair?! Unjust?! Impossible?! The cesspool of corruption flows deep into a murky quagmire of wickedness that should expose our own government for allowing it to continue! <BR/>True and REAL crimes against humanity ranging from organized crime and drugs, to kidnapping, slavery, prostitution, and murders for global sale of body parts! Google human trafficking in organs, and learn exactly what is going on behind closed doors "the powers that be" never want to see opened! The reality is not only horrific and unimaginable, it IS happening every single day across the world, and Durham is just one of the many links in this chain of the grisly, dark underworld!<BR/>I have fought for nearly 3 years to restore my beloved brother, and best friend's respect, and JUSTICE he, and all of the others desperately deserve, and will never quit until something is done and things are changed! NOBODY deserves what mine and countless other families have endured, and for us I am begging the people and media to make a difference and care about all of the other serious matters that have fallen to the wayside for needless years!<BR/>Where IS the SBI report on my brother? Where is the details of what was done to his body and organs after he was killed? What was done to investigate his death? What was done to provide the family with documents and reports we should not just have public access to, but to every iota of information, as they closed his death as a "suicide" yet did no autopsy and lied they did?<BR/>What was done to my brother is so horrifically twisted and unreal that the city has gone out of it's way to not only deny him an investigation, but to hide facts, alter reports, and fail to adhere to any semblance of protocol?!<BR/>Where is the OUTRAGE for our family and others of unsolved and purposely neglected murders, just from 2005?!<BR/>Does anybody out here give a damn for us?! <BR/>Something MUST be done, and I have come forward to beg the media and government to hear what I have to say about my brother's case, and the crimes being done to many innocent victims that MUST be acknowledged, reported, investigated, and DESERVE action and resolution!<BR/>To contact me directly, please send SERIOUS media and legal inquiries to:<BR/>justice4all2005@yahoo.com<BR/>Rhonda Fleming<BR/>Cleveland, Ohio<BR/>Sister of Allen Jackson Croft Jr, murdered in Durham on May 11, 2005 fighting for JUSTICE<BR/>For legal reference please refer to Mr. Ekstrand for personal contact:<BR/>Robert C.

I believe they are suffering now and will suffer much more in the future.<BR/><BR/>Remember how Brodhead whined (I believe to the captains) about how hard it had been on him.<BR/><BR/>They thought they could get away with it and they came close. People of their ilk have been getting away with this stuff for years/decades.<BR/><BR/>But in this instance, they came up against people not only of integrity, high moral character and a sense of honor but also people who are tenacious. They were terribly wronged and they cannot allow that to stand. <BR/><BR/>The players and their families could have easily (and understandably) taken a reimbursement of their expenses and walked away. It would have been easier but they rightly have chosen the harder path. <BR/><BR/>Even if a settlement of some sort is eventually reached, more details, more allegations are now and forever in the public record. <BR/><BR/>For Brodhead, Steel, and many others, that's very bad and I believe it will get worse. I believe they are suffering. Many reputations have been ruined and there will be no exoneration. <BR/><BR/>Of course, that's just what I think but I'm pretty sure.

They will pay their lawyers, hope that their political allies in the court system will bail them out, and continue to do whatever they were doing before.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, and they can count on the North Carolina and national media to continue to demonize the lacrosse players and their families. People like Burness will continue to slime them, and then deny everything. It is sickening, but that is the state of elite higher education today. That is what these "elites" are capable of doing, and their attitude toward the rest of us "inferiors" is that they can do what they want because they are morally and intellectually superior to everyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-78650084919459127312008-02-26T14:26:00.000-05:002008-02-26T14:26:00.000-05:00They conducted themselves with dignity as they con...They conducted themselves with dignity as they confronted a corrupt system.
