*On Tuesday Texas authorities released additional video footage of Sandra Bland in jail after her arrest. The footage is in response to online critics who claim she was already dead before she got there.

Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said the several hours of footage was also made public following death threats made to local officials.

Bland, 28, was found hanging by a garbage bag in her cell on July 13, three days after her arrest during a routine traffic stop. An autopsy released last week said her injuries were consistent with suicide.

“This video should demonstrate that people who are out there going through a lot of trouble to spread lies and mis-truths on Waller County — we are not going to stand idly by and allow that to happen,” Duhon said at a news conference.

According to Judge Duhon, the online hacktavist group Anonymous is accusing the sheriff’s department of trying to cover up Bland’s death and spread rumors that she was already dead before her mugshot was taken.

The footage supposedly shows Bland being interviewed, as well as after changing into an orange jumpsuit and making several phone calls. The video also shows her being taken into a cell, then later moved into another.

“Sandra Bland was alive and well,” Duhon told reporters.
