Serna family calls for justice at courthouse rally

Elisa Serna’s family was counting on attending the preliminary hearing for a doctor and nurse charged with her death while in custody at Las Colinas Detention Facility in 2019. Instead, they stood outside with justice advocates and other family members who have the same tragedy in common and together called for justice.

Elisa’s mother, Paloma Serna, said that delay did not deter her plans to make the two days long drive. She was upset because it’s been delayed long enough."It’s very frustrating to have it postponed because we have evidence, the evidence is there. We’ve seen the evidence," she said. "She was pregnant," she said, adding that instead of gaining weight she lost weight."And the videos it does not show her ever eating, every time she had a seizure they never went in to check on her; they just left her there," she said, adding that after watching the footage it’s clear to her that more people must be held accountable for there to be real justice.

"They all are human beings and they all need justice," said said Yuself Miller, founder of the"Saving Lives in Custody Campaign."He said that a prison sentence does not mean a death sentence and what makes this worse is that Elisa died before even having her first court hearing, she was not found guilty or sentenced at all and that is the case with most of the families he has unified under the campaign.
