Jail starves man to death, Sheriff offers apology

And he says he will try to make sure it doesn't happen again, so maybe he is worried it will.

An incompetent jailer was punished with a severe 30 days off w/o pay.

And a Lt. got paid leave (paid vacation).

Coroner says death was caused by dehydration with a contributing factor of malnutrition. He ruled the manner of death to be natural causes.
