Save Jeff Wood from Law of Parties

Help Texas Man Who Is Set for Execution Under the Law of Parties – Jeff Wood Did Not Kill Anyone. Texas does not assert that he did, yet Texas plans to kill Jeff Wood, a mentally challenged inmate, on August 24, 2016. SAVE JEFF WOOD, who has been on death row for 20 years! http://savejeffwood.com/

What will you do to help Jeff Wood? Will you share this article? Will you sign the petition at his website? Would you be willing to write letters? Make phone calls? Please state your intentions below, members and friends of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI). Jeff was hospitalized for a period of time after his arrest and treated for mental illness to get him "trial ready." Unfortunately, he fired his attorneys during the trial and never called any witnesses. American officials seemingly enjoy killing U.S. citizens with mental illness. Please help us tell eugenicists to desist.

"Democracy Now" published three videos about Jeff Wood when a death warrant was issued in 2008. All are embedded below along with their individual links:

Question: What did the U.S. Supreme Court mean when it ordered that mentally ill people must not be executed? Obviously, Texas and other states need clarification, and the American people deserve clarification.

Update: We took the fight to SaveJeffWood to "The Prison Show" at 90.1 at KPFT on July 8, 2016. Mary Neal was a guest, and Jeff's sister, Terri Been, spoke before the end of the broadcast. We are grateful to Hank Lamb for his dedication to ending capital punishment. Please listen, download, and share:

Please comment below to notify Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) and Jeff's family how you plan to help prevent this tragedy. Just voicing your outrage might help. Terri Been recently made a request for letters against her brother's wrongful execution. At Facebook, she wrote:

Thank you for giving Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill.

It would be illegal to keep a dog in a tight space 23 hours a day and gas or Taser him for barking. It would be illegal to put a dog in deadly restraint for control. That happens to mentally ill people routinely in the nation's correctional facilities. What happened to Larry Neal? Why are we still asking that question after nearly 13 years, since August 1, 2003? Cover-ups regarding the wrongful deaths of mentally challenged inmates and free people in the USA are common and vile.

Mentally Ill People Deserve Dog Justice!

Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice.
Treat mental illness medically, not legally. 

(1) Support the H.R. 2646 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." The U.S. congressional bill provides for crisis intervention team (CIT) training for police and corrections officers, assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs (subsistence assistance plus mandated treatment) to stop recidivism, resumption of Medicaid insurance for certain facilities, and other needed changes. 
(2) Support "AIMI vs. USA" to compensate mentally ill people and their families for health discrimination.

(3) Support Bernie Sanders' bill H.R.3543 to end contracts with private prison companies.

I will post a video of why our human rights blogs have no depository featured for public assistance at our YouTube channel "MaryLovesJustice Neal" and on our CreateSpace videos, which will be available for order or possibly free with a purchase of "The Cochran Firm Fraud" book, which reveals extreme censorship and persecution human rights advocates face from prison investors, with requests to law enforcement for relief from destruction of property and other crimes ignored.

Death Penalty Is Dying

The death penalty is dying, but it lingers in hospice. See an excerpt from an article by "Independent":

In 2015, only 28 people were executed here, the least in a quarter century (and one of them after a 36-year wait on death row). Moreover, all but four died in just three states: Texas, Georgia and Missouri.

Of the 50 US states, 34 haven’t executed anyone over the last five years, and soon South Carolina, another historical bastion of the death penalty, will join them.

Juries too are handing down far fewer death sentences, only 49 in 2015. Texas, long America’s chief executioner, was responsible for only two of them. For the first time in decades, the death row population has dropped below 3,000 – and only a relative handful of them will actually meet their end in the execution chamber.

Bipolar Execution Victim in Texas: Adam Ward

We are discussing capital punishment at my Facebook page. I am an anti-DP advocate and believe executions must end in the USA. This is particularly true for mentally ill Americans like Adam Ward, a 33-year-old bipolar man who Texas executed on Tuesday, March 22. The Huffington Post recently ran a story entitled "Bernie Sanders Speaks Out Against The Death Penalty After Hillary Clinton Stands By It." Senator Sanders said, "I believe it is time for the United States of America to join almost every other Western, industrialized country on Earth in saying NO to the death penalty."

When people enter controversial comments on my Facebook page and stalkers prevent their names from linking in my response, I feel that my response is censored. Sometimes I then enter said responses in an article in this "Justice Gagged" blog. I learned long ago that the hackers work for executioners, racists, and Nazis. The people, organizations, and topics I was writing to or about when I was most harshly censored may be surprising, including the NAACP, the national adult vaccination plan, Christianity, and Michelle Obama. Anti-dp language is always certain to be censored, which is why I usually run a separate digital camera when dealing with that subject online. My films will be made available to purchase for a nominal fee at CreateSpace. Americans should know which subjects are considered exempt from free speech protections by elitist Nazis.

My response below to Terry Harris would not link her name, although I tried multiple times. See part of the conversation below. You can read the entire discussion at my Facebook page, link

Kudos, Nebraska: No More DP

Nebraska abolitionists are to be congratulated, as are all people who place high value on humane solutions to crime and who advocate an end to America's barbarism. Nebraska became America's first conservative state to end capital punishment. We appreciate Nebraska's legislature for doing that. The Atlantic was one of many media companies that published the victory. A brief excerpt from The Atlantic is below:

Nebraska on Wednesday [May 27, 2015] became the first conservative state in more than four decades to repeal the death penalty. Its legislature, officially non-partisan but dominated by Republicans, voted by the narrowest of possible margins to override a veto by Governor Pete Ricketts, and enact a law scrapping a punishment that the state has struggled to carry out.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/05/how-nebraska-banned-the-death-penalty/394271/

Below is a modified excerpt from an article titled "MaryLovesJustice Advocacy Fundraiser":

The Davis-MacPhail Truth Committee believes we can hasten the day when capital punishment ends nationwide if abolitionists change tactics. Most anti-dp organizations try to appeal to hardhearted people's sense of compassion. Newsflash: Elite white supremacists have no compassion; their god is money. It costs up to $90,000 more per year to warehouse each inmate on death row than to house him/her in the general prison population, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Our Davis-MacPhail Truth Committee usually addresses the financial burden that executioners make taxpayers bear because they are money-hungry and bloodthirsty. If executioners were not so mercenary, death row inmates would be executed long before they are, 10 years to 30 years after sentencing. But prison investors keep condemned people alive on death row for decades, not out of compassion but to make more money. That is good news, because most people who were finally exonerated were imprisoned for a very long time. If condemned people were executed sooner, America would execute many more innocent people.

The Davis-MacPhail Truth Committee believes that abolitionists must make executions more expensive.  We advocate for LAWSUITS after each execution if any reason at all can be found to sue. Executions would get more media exposure by suing. Anti-DP organizations should sue after mentally ill people are executed. Sue after potentially innocent people are executed, especially if DNA tests were denied. Sue after guilty people are executed if the executions were torturous. Sue, sue, sue. Lawsuits mean significantly more to killers than candlelight vigils do. I believe the key to ending executions to to make them more expensive through lawsuits, just as speeders are deterred by traffic fines. Access the entire article at

JUSTICE JOHN PAUL STEVENS SPEAKS AGAINST DEATH PENALTY ~ In a discussion at the George Washington University School of Law, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said the death penalty creates a higher risk of error than other criminal cases and is unfair, unnecessary, and a "terrible waste" of resources. Using the Boston marathon bomber trial as an example, Justice Stevens said jury selection procedures in capital cases produce juries who are "not representative of the community." He said that, under these procedures, "most of the 75%" of Bostonians who opposed the death penalty "could be challenged for cause and do not make it" onto the jury.

EXECUTING THE MENTALLY ILL

LONG BEFORE HE COMMITTED a vicious triple murder in Houston at the age of 19, Derrick Charles had shown signs of serious mental problems. Raised amid crippling poverty, domestic abuse, alcoholism and neglect, he watched his schizophrenic mother stab his abusive stepfather. He suffered from tactile and auditory hallucinations, and by the time he was 13, had been hospitalized twice for mental illness. While in juvenile prison for nonviolent offenses, he said he was hearing voices and asked for medication. The request was denied.

ACLU vs. PA over DP Drugs

ACLU sues Pennsylvania for information about lethal injection cocktail
SEPT. 11, 2014
The Pennsylvania chapter of the ACLU, The Guardian, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the Philadelphia City Papers are asking state courts to unseal documents that would reveal how, and from whom, the state obtained the drugs it plans to use to execute Hubert Michael, Jr. on September 22.

Hubert L. Michael Jr. pled guilty in October 1994 to kidnapping and first-degree murder for the death of 16-year-old Trista Eng. On July 12, 1993, Eng was walking along Route 15 from her home to her summer job at a restaurant in Dillsburg, York County. Michael stopped and offered the girl a ride to work, which she accepted. Michael drove to state game lands in Warrington Township, York County, where he shot Eng three times with a handgun and then hid her body in the woods.

Michael's execution will not restore Eng's life. Neither is execution necessary to save society from the murderer. Life without parole would accomplish that. Therefore, Michael's execution could only be a revenge killing. If the capital punishment is carried out, then Michael may be subjected to a lengthy, torturous execution using mystery drugs like other condemned people were this year. A state's refusal to release information about execution drugs should necessitate an automatic moratorium.

The last execution in Pennsylvania occurred in July 1999, when Philadelphia torture killer Gary Heidnik was put to death after surrendering his appeals. More information about the history of Pennsylvania executions is available at http://www.cor.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/death_penalty/17351/history/607968

DP with Mystery Drugs Resumes

Dear Friends,

It happened again. Last night, the state of Missouri put to death Earl Ringo, Jr., despite concerns about the role that race played in determining his death sentence and despite an outpouring of pleas to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon from people of faith, civil rights leaders and activists to halt the execution. This execution, like so many others, took place under a cloud of secrecy with Department of Corrections officials dissembling about when and whether they were using or would use Midazolam, the drug that has been at the center of controversy in the recent spate of botched and horrific executions.

I learned for the first time last Wednesday that DOC officials in Missouri administer Midazolam to prisoners before the execution actually “begins.” They claim that this procedure is consistent with the practice of offering the condemned prisoner a sedative to calm nerves before the execution.

But lawyers for Earl Ringo point out that Midazolam is not the drug normally prescribed as a sedative for nerves and the amount administered prior to the start of an execution is far more than the dosage that would be consistent with a simple ‘calming effect.’

It’s sophistry at best and government at its worst.

We are disappointed that Governor Nixon did not take full responsibility for ensuring that the death penalty system in Missouri operates in a manner that is free of racial bias and discrimination, and that Earl Ringo’s death sentence in particular was not the product of racial bias.

But here is what we are proud of: We are proud of and grateful for the legal team that was courageous, resourceful and compassionate in their efforts to save Mr. Ringo’s life.

We are proud of Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty and our allies in the NAACP, ACLU of Missouri, the Catholic Conference and others, and hundreds of volunteers who wrote letters, called, worked and prayed, and organized vigils to make their concerns known to Governor Nixon.

We are proud of the national coalition of organizations and leaders that came together to send a joint statement to Governor Nixon urging him to be reasonable and not go forward with this execution, given so many unanswered questions concerning the racial bias in his case.

We joined with the NAACP, the National Action Network, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Racial Justice, Hip Hop Caucus, Dr. Virgil Wood, and Reverend McBride, Director of Urban Strategies, Live Free Campaign, PICO National Network.

Unfortunately, Governor Nixon did not heed our request. We do believe in accountability.

Please contact Governor Nixon to express your deep disappointment with his failure to stop Earl Ringo’s execution. Ask him to halt all executions from now on.

Act with us. We are 90 Million Strong!

Peace,
Diann Rust-Tierney
Executive Director

Executions Down, Police Violence Up

1. Anti-death penalty advocates were elated to learn that capital punishment has been eliminated or placed on hold in 36 states in the USA partly because of torturous executions in 2014 using mystery drugs. Furthermore, NPR reported on July 16, "A federal judge has ruled that California's use of the death penalty is dysfunctional and violates the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney's ruling came in response to an appeal by Ernest Dewayne Jones, who was sentenced to death in Los Angeles in 1995 for the rape and killing of his girlfriend's mother three years earlier."

2.  While executions have decreased, police killings have increased to the point that no reduction in democide actually happened. Within one month, from mid-July until mid-August, the police body count is four killings for California and one each for Utah, Missouri, Ohio, and New York. Another beer summit might be in order to withdraw military equipment from non-military government agencies, including police departments (Ref. #1, at paragraph 10).

3.  The world is increasingly alarmed at how little freedom and justice people in America actually have. Even journalists were arrested in Ferguson, Ohio during protests over Michael Brown's shooting death by Officer Darren Wilson. Some journalists were told to turn off their cameras then attacked with rubber bullets and tear gas when they refused to comply with police orders that violated their freedom of press rights. There have been injuries among Ferguson's protesters - one that was critical - but no more deaths at the time of this writing (Ref. #2, at paragraph 10). This is #ourGaza 

4.  California police fatally shot two mentally challenged people in August, including  a 19-year-old woman in crisis and Ezell Ford, 25, an unarmed black man who witnesses say committed no crime and was completely compliant with police. California police also beat a Latino young man named Omar Abrego to death. Utah police fatally shot a 20-year-old unarmed Caucasian, Dillon Taylor. See their stories at the four(4) links below.

     i.  San Jose Police killed a 19-year-old woman who had a power drill they "thought" was a gun
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/15/san-jose-police-fatally-shoot-woman-19-after-mistaking-power-drill-for-a-gun/ 

     ii.  LAPD fatally beat a young Latino father at a traffic stop
http://laist.com/2014/08/15/video_man_dies_after_bloody.php

     iii.  Ezell Ford, 25, was reportedly laid out on the ground and shot multiple times in his back by LAPD. His death was added to "Random Killings of Disabled Americans"
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/06/random-killings-of-disabled-americans.html

     iv.  THE EIGHTH UNARMED POLICE VICTIM WITHIN ONE MONTH - Salt Lake City police fatally shot Dillon Taylor, 20, on Aug. 13. The victim was unarmed when police confronted him, his brother says. Court documents show a $25,000 arrest warrant had been issued Aug. 7 for Taylor, alleging that he had violated his probation on earlier felony robbery and obstructing justice charges.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/58300854-78/taylor-police-lake-salt.html.csp

5.  *Note: The body count below does not include inmates killed behind bars. Inmates' deaths are often subject to government cover-ups, like the secret arrest and murder of mentally, physically disabled Larry Neal in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003, while the jail was operating under federal oversight. Within a month, the following eight(8) individuals fell victim to police violence:
~ Unnamed teenage female, San Jose, California / Aug. _ (mentally ill)
~ Dillon Taylor, Salt Lake City, Utah / Aug. 13
~ Dante Parker, Victorville, California / Aug. 12
~ Ezell Ford, Los Angeles, California / Aug. 11 (mentally ill)
~ Omar Abrego, Los Angeles, California / Aug. _
~ Michael Brown, Ferguson, Missouri / Aug. 9
~ John Crawford, Beavercreek, Ohio / Aug. 5
~ Eric Garner, Staten Island, New York / July 17

6.  Many people wonder what the point of agreement was at the WH Beer Summit of 2009. The outcome did not bode well for African Americans and other minorities or disabled people of any race or age. Little information has been released at this writing about the teenager police killed in San Jose, but five of the men in the body count were unarmed blacks, one was Latino, and one was Caucasian. What makes police officers perceive black men as being more worthy of deadly force? Three psychological studies offer answers at: 

"Cards Stacked Against Black Boys, Especially if Mentally Ill"
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/03/cards-stacked-against-black-boys.html

7.  The USA is a member state of the United Nations and has signed certain treaties to uphold human rights within this nation. Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) plans to bundle 100 cases evidencing overuse of force against mentally ill people during arrests, within correctional facilities, or by hospital personnel for presentation to the World Court.  Evidence presented is expected to include long-term solitary confinement torture, brutality by law enforcement, corrections officers, other inmates or inpatients, wrongful deaths, and medical neglect. Please invite persons who might have an interest in joining the Complainants to read this article in "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog:
"Police Killings Increase As Executions Decrease"
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/08/police-killings-increase-as-executions.html

8.  To have your case considered for inclusion in the 100 that will be presented to the U.N., please use the contact information below. AIMI plans to request restitution for victims or their successors as well as sanctions against the USA regarding its disregard for human rights of persons with mental illness. The 100 Complainants may also include victims of aggression by untreated mentally ill people or the victims' successors. 

9.  The USA's disregard for mentally ill persons is evidenced by the fact that 1.25 million mentally dysfunctional people are imprisoned (over half of the nation's inmates). They comprise over 60 percent of prisoners in long-term solitary confinement torture, some for decades. More than 50 percent of the nation's victims of police violence are mentally ill, although no exact numbers are kept (which also evidences disregard). Additionally, tens of thousands of mentally handicapped people are homeless and/or denied psychiatric treatment unless and until they prove, usually through crimes, that they are immediately dangerous to self and others. This is likely done to preserve untreated mentally challenged Americans for use as private prison commodities, including some veterans. 

10.  Condolences to families and friends of all eight victims named in this article. Thanks to justice officials, law enforcement administrators and officers who attempt to bring justice and restore peace to affected communities without further violations against citizens' constitutional and human rights.

In 1991, Congress established the LESO program which allows the Defense Department to transfer excess property to state agencies who request them. The property is given to agencies - police departments, fish and wildlife services, and state universities alike. the equipment is transferred as-is and must be used by the agency within a year. LESO gives agencies access to tanks, helicopters, tear gas, machine guns, armored cars, night-vision equipment, and more battlefield-tested equipment. In 2013 alone, more than $440million in supplies were doled out to agencies in all 50 states.

11.  First paragraph repeated: Anti-death penalty advocates were elated to learn that capital punishment has been eliminated or placed on hold in 36 states in the USA partly because of torturous executions in 2014 using mystery drugs. However, police killings have increased to the point that no reduction in democide actually happened. Within one month, from mid-July until mid-August, the police body count is four killings for California and one each for Utah, Missouri, Ohio, and New York. Another beer summit might be in order to withdraw military equipment from non-military government agencies, including police departments (Ref. #1, at paragraph 10).
