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.

(4) Help share the cost of advocating to decriminalize mental illness in the USA at PayPal https://www.paypal.me/humanrightsdemand

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.

Mentally Ill on Death Row

 
John Errol Ferguson Case: Daniel T.K. Hurley, U.S. District Judge, Grants Stay Of Execution

MIAMI -- A federal judge on Saturday granted a stay of execution for a convicted mass killer in Florida, who is mentally ill and was scheduled to be put to death on Tuesday, October 23, 2012.

U.S. District Judge Daniel T. K. Hurley granted the motion for a stay in the case of John Errol Ferguson, who was to be executed Tuesday after 34 years on Florida's death row ... Ferguson's attorneys maintain he is insane and that the Constitution prohibits the state from executing him.

"The issues raised merit full, reflective consideration," the court said.

Many people object to Ferguson being executed because of his schizophrenia. The Disability Rights Committee issued an "Emergency Resolution in Opposition to the Execution of John Ferguson, a Mentally Ill Florida Death Row Inmate" that helps us understand the issue of mental illness and capital punishment. The Committee wrote in part:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD, MEETING AT ITS OCTOBER 2012 CONVENTION IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, condemns in the strongest terms the scheduled execution of John Errol Ferguson, a severely mentally ill African American man who has spent the last 34 years on death row, on the ground that it would be cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution and would also violate international conventions on human rights to which the United States is a party, including the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; and urges officials in the State of Florida to stop the scheduled execution and commute Mr. Ferguson’s death sentences to life imprisonment.
.
There have been numerous executions of mentally incompetent persons despite the constitutional law against unusual punishment. Jonathan Green, a mentally ill Texan, was killed on October 10. See a report from Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) below:

MENTAL ILLNESS: Federal Court Stays Texas Execution Because of Inadequate Hearing

UPDATE: The U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the stay of execution and Green was executed on Oct. 10.  Earlier: Jonathan Green was scheduled for execution in Texas on October 10, but a federal judge issued a stay because the state did not afford him due process in examining his mental competency.
