I wonder if he'll get pain meds for his back issues?
Discussion
Probably the absolute bare minimum. It will be interesting to see the evidence authorities have on this guy that they are withholding from the general public once trial starts. I bet they have a ton of evidence in this guy.
Shit, we already know they have fingerprints and DNA matching him to the 9mm shells left at the scene of the crime, as well as on a water bottle and protein bar they have him on camera buying at the local Starbucks right before the shooting. Combined with his handwritten notes explicitly admitting to the attack, and secondary evidence such as the video tracking him to the hostel, and the fake ID he had in his position that was also used to check in to the hostel, claiming he's not the guy is going to be a very tall order in court. Claiming he didn't do it already sounds preposterous, and we still haven't seen all the evidence.
He's not the first prisoner to have back problems, and pain problems. I would expect to see him treated the same as anyone else in his position, and not be given special treatment due to the sensationalism surrounding his case. I think it's important to note that his back problems don't seem to have stopped him from exercising, participating in yoga, or backpacking around world. I'm not discounting his pain, but it doesn't appear to be generally debilitating.
