Friends of Amit Will Hold Rally In Freehold To Demand Justice On Oct. 20th, Update: Family holds rally over Marlboro man's death in jail

If you have been keeping track of the Amit Borestien case that has become a major issue for Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden and the Monmouth County Sheriff's Department, you may be interested in reading/watching the coverage of today's rally in Freehold.

Borestien was the 22 year old man who was taken into custody by sheriff officers over the summer and died while in custody 22 hours later, apparently from injuries sustained while being beaten by several members of the Monmouth County Department of Corrections.

News12 covered the rally in Freehold today and has posted it's story online with an accompanying video that unfortunately I can not post on the blog.

The one thing that I will say about the video is that Sheriff Golden, who is seeking to be elected to his first full term as Monmouth County Sheriff on November 2nd, did not present himself well while talking to the News12 reporter. He didn't seem very confident on what he was saying and fumbled through the brief segment.

The reporter did not report on the excessive delays in getting an autopsy report-80+ days. It is also telling that the corrections PBA president sought out the cameras to get his 2 cents in.

Could it be any more obvious that this is a cover up so that Golden doesnt look bad 2 weeks before an election?
