<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">It is a Legal Victory </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">when police and corrections officers report corruption in their workplaces. Tonight, two corrections whistleblowers and authors will be guests on Human Rights Demand channel at Blogtalkradio at 10pmEST </span></span><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2016/07/02/britton-mosley-sr-and-john-fancher-fabricating-evidence-ii-mdoc" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2016/07/02/britton-mosley-sr-and-john-fancher-fabricating-evidence-ii-mdoc</a><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Guests include a former prison warden, John “Jimmy” Fancher, and a former correctional captain, Britton Mosley, Sr.</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The men co-authored "Fabricating Evidence II: Office of the Attorney General/ Mississippi Department of Corrections Integrity Meltdown," exposing prisoner abuse and corruption inside the Mississippi Department of Corrections and the Attorney General's office. </span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Fancher and Mosley were targeted for retaliation</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> after Fancher refused to accept bribes from former MDOC commissioner, Christopher Epps. Their careers were idestroyed because they refused to participate in corrupt behavior. Corrections staff conspired with inmates to have Fancher and Mosley criminalized by using fabricated evidence. If attempts to wrongfully convict these former prison officials had been successful, two more innocent men would be imprisoned at taxpayers' expense. Fortunately, inmates showed more integrity than MDOC officials and warned Mosley and Fancher about the scheme. Mosley said, "Fabricating Evidence II should be ground-zero for a reforming Mississippi's correctional system."</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0t7E3FdDSMs/VgGBeLloaLI/AAAAAAAAkCI/l5JHhFqDefg/s1600/Bernie%2BSanders%2BTake%2BBack%2BGov%2Bfr%2BCorp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0t7E3FdDSMs/VgGBeLloaLI/AAAAAAAAkCI/l5JHhFqDefg/s1600/Bernie%2BSanders%2BTake%2BBack%2BGov%2Bfr%2BCorp.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Paragraph 1 of 4. The 'Justice Is Not For Sale Act': Senator Sanders leads the charge against for-profit prisons, saying, "It is morally repugnant and a national tragedy that we have privatized prisons all over America.'" With a call to "end the private prison racket in America," a group of progressive lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill that seeks to subvert the reigning "pro-incarceration agenda" by banning private prisons, reinstating the federal parole system, and eliminating quotas regarding the number of immigrants held in detention <a href="http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/09/17/justice-not-sale-sanders-leads-charge-against-profit-prisons">http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/09/17/justice-not-sale-sanders-leads-charge-against-profit-prisons</a> </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Paragraph 2 of 4. Black and brown Americans and voters who have mentally ill relatives should especially support Sanders' bill to eliminate federal contracts with privatized prisons. This would help end mass incarceration in the USA and reduce police violence. Police officers are issued arrest quotas and often resort to violence in order to meet the quotas. Ethnic persons and the mentally ill of all races are targeted with particularity. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Paragraph 3 of 4. Sen. Sanders' <a href="http://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/justice-is-not-for-sale-act?inline=file">Justice is Not For Sale Act</a>, co-sponsored by Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ), Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Bobby L. Rush (D-IL), would prohibit the federal government from entering contracts with private prison corporations within two years of the bill’s enactment. Instead, state and local government will be solely responsible for overseeing state and local correctional facilities.<br /><a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/09/17/3702659/bernie-sanders-prison-bill/">http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/09/17/3702659/bernie-sanders-prison-bill/</a></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Paragraph 4 of 4. "Legal Victories" readers are encouraged to request their representatives to co-sponsor the bill. Those who withhold support for the "Justice Is Not For Sale Act" are likely prison investors. Unfortunately, decision makers on the government's payroll are allowed to engage in conflicts of interest and benefit financially by introducing and voting for legislation that increases their own stock portfolios. Judges, prosecutors, crime laboratory technicians, and even some defense attorneys own stocks in private jails and prisons. This is the main cause of corruption in America's very criminal courts. A congressional bill should be introduced to force elected and appointed officials to divest or resign. <a href="http://divestorresign.blogspot.com/">http://divestorresign.blogspot.com/</a></span></div>

Its clients are predominantly African Americans, many of whom entrusted their legal cases to this “law firm” in good faith and were defrauded by their own lawyers. The so called “national law firm” usually follows the CoIntelPro mandate to “keep wealth from black hands.” Examples of racism, malpractice, and fraud are published by Mary Neal, a The Cochran Firm fraud victim, in an article entitled “Beware of Treacherous Lawyers: The Cochran Firm” and in “Cochran Firm Fraud” blog.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) seeks input from <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/s/%23lawyers" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.218s; background-color: white; color: #427fed; cursor: pointer; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.218s;">#lawyers</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> </span>who have advice for parents of children or adults with Autism, epilepsy, Downs syndrome, and mental illness. The time to establish trust funds and name reliable executors to their children's estates is now. AIMI does not want to write articles about these children being cruelly incarcerated for their mental illnesses and developmental disabilities weeks after their parents' demise if this could be avoided by proper planning.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AyWQ5IhCuJU/VTLikwvQ7yI/AAAAAAAAdW0/E2HBQ4mrAG4/s1600/happy-girl-with-downs-syndrome-575x414.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AyWQ5IhCuJU/VTLikwvQ7yI/AAAAAAAAdW0/E2HBQ4mrAG4/s1600/happy-girl-with-downs-syndrome-575x414.jpg" height="230" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have advice for middle class people who wish to prepare for their children with such disabilities and some with elderly parents experiencing old-age dementia, AIMI would appreciate your input. Please write or recommend articles about preparing for the continuing needs of mentally challenged relatives after one's demise. Most AIMI members are poor or middle class families, but there must be some arrangements that middle income people can make so that their mentally challenged loved ones will be less likely to experience homelessness, incarceration, or police violence after the main caretakers' deaths.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Many of the families with whom AIMI works are headed by people who are approaching middle age and worry how their grown children who have mental dysfunctions will manage after their own demise. Every day, young couples give birth to children who have Down syndrome, Autism or some other impairment. Estate planning for these families is of the utmost importance. Do you have advice and provide services for them, lawyers?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Attorneys who wish to advertise with AIMI should email Mary Neal, AIMI's director at the addresses below. Reasonable rates apply. Potential clients need criminal lawyers and civil rights attorneys as well as estate lawyers. Your legal services will be featured and run indefinitely at "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" articles <a href="http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/">http://DogJusticeforMentallyIll.blogspot.com</a> and will be mentioned during our "Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill" and/or our "Human Rights Demand" radio broadcasts. I would welcome interviewing an estate law firm about preparing for sick and disabled people when mom and dad are no longer with them.<br /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your advertising would be appreciated. Otherwise, please comment below with a recommended article, or recommend your own law firm to help people with needs that are peculiar to families with mentally ill members and dependents with developmental disabilities. AIMI's main objective is getting such families the information that they need. Thank you in advance for your help making Legal Victories possible for families with such challenges.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ANOTHER former client of The Cochran Firm has sued for fraud - Lael Brown, et al. The Brown lawsuit against The Cochran Firm was successful, unlike most others. The Cochran Firm seems to have the same immunity as police officers do in American courts. Christopher Tucker is another former client alleging fraud and malpractice in a lawsuit against The Cochran Firm. His case is discussed in the next article in this "Legal Victories" blog. Tucker said the Brown case is similar to his, in that:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> (1) Both cases had the same supervising attorney - Anthony Partipilo, whose law license is now suspended by the California Bar because of misconduct in other cases; and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> (2) The Cochran Firm overcharged Brown and Tucker, then in each case got a local attorney at a much reduced fee to actually represent them. Brown signed contract with The Firm believing that a lawyer from The Firm would really represent the defendant, not a local lawyer who The Firm paid only $5,400 of the $27,900 that Brown paid The Cochran Firm. Likewise, Tucker paid The Cochran Firm over $12,000 for defense, but The Cochran Firm hired a local attorney to actually defend Tucker for $500.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Cochran Firm misuses Johnnie Cochran's name and legacy to lure unsuspecting clients to The Firm. It charges exorbitant fees for criminal defense and then hires local lawyers to handle many, if not most, of its cases. In Christopher Tucker's case, the local attorney refused to sign an acknowledgement that he had been fully briefed on the case when he was asked to tell that lie. Both Brown's and Tucker's cases were in criminal court. The Cochran Firm also defrauds clients in civil court actions, such as the Neal family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NO attorney was hired by The Firm to actually represent the Neals in a wrongful death civil action case against Memphis Shelby County Jail regarding the "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal" (Google the name). In fact, The Cochran Firm used U.S. Mail fraud to write to the Neals about legal work that was not really being done while the Tennessee statute of limitations passed. The Cochran Firm apparently decided to help Shelby County Government officials avoid accountability for killing Larry Neal, a 54-year-old mentally ill heart patient who under undisclosed circumstances after 18 days of secret incarceration. The defendant in the Brown case also has mental health issues. Although The Firm accepted $27,900 to represent Brown, Nazis think of mentally challenged people as being "useless eaters" and might prefer for them to be dead like Larry is or imprisoned, like the defendant faced in the Brown case.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Cochran Firm claimed a jurisdictional issue existed in the Brown and Tucker malpractice cases against The Firm. Regarding "Neals v. The Cochran Firm," The Cochran Firm actually disclaimed having any law offices in the State of Georgia, which was a fraud on the court. The law office of Cochran Cherry Givens & Smith in Atlanta also had itself declared to be totally unrelated to the national office of The Cochran Firm and any of its affiliates. Ironically, The Cochran Firm now declares itself to be a single law firm with numerous offices in defense of its former partner's allegations of The Firm's RICO Act Racketeering - an about face. The McMurray matter is ongoing in California courts. One judge wisely recused herself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Cochran Firm wanted the Brown and Tucker cases tried in California, so perhaps The Cochran Firm has some "understanding" with courts in California like it seems to have in Georgia. That transfer was refused in the Brown's West Virginia case and should also be refused in Tucker's Oklahoma case. Plaintiffs can sue under the diversity rule when defendants reside in a separate state. The Neals sued under the diversity rule in federal court after Judge Wendy Shoob of Georgia Superior Court falsely declared in 2006 that The Cochran Firm has no law offices within the State of Georgia, but the federal judge was also a disappointment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Federal Judge Timothy Batten in Atlanta ordered that it was "immaterial" that The Cochran Firm scoundrels defrauded the Neals in order to prevent our lawsuit against the jail, which secretly arrested and murdered Larry Neal and engaged in an elaborate cover-up with other government agencies to prevent disclosure. In other words, murders and conspiracies to hide murders were excused by Judge Batten. This year, the matter goes before International Court. See AIMI vs. USA case at <a href="http://aimi-humanrights.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://AIMI-humanrights.blogspot.com</span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We congratulate Brown and other plaintiffs who prevailed against The Cochran Firm frauds. Apparently, The Firm is not above the law in every court. That makes the Brown case a significant Legal Victory!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.3999996185303px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px;">Memorandum Opinion and Order Denying Motion to Dismiss is below.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>U.S. Code 42, Sec. 1983 and U.S. Code 242, Sec. 18 are legal victories for oppressed people. </b></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is a growing necessity for lawyers to represent African Americans and other minority status people whose rights have been and are being violated. Christopher Tucker is one such individual. Tucker is a mild-tempered man who works as an armed security guard. He alleged targeting and brutality by the Oklahoma Police Department and fraud by The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm. Please hear about Tucker's lawsuit against The Cochran Firm and Oklahoma Police Department. Share Tucker's interview at Human Rights Demand channel, taped January 7, 2015. It is available for listening 24/7 at <br /><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2015/01/07/christopher-tucker-vs-the-cochran-firm-and-oklahoma-city-pd">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2015/01/07/christopher-tucker-vs-the-cochran-firm-and-oklahoma-city-pd</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christopher Tucker alleges that on July 3, 2010, he was badly beaten and Tasered by Oklahoma City police officers without any provocation. He had a verbal confrontation with his girlfriend and police were called. By the time police arrived at the house, Tucker had already removed his personal possessions and left the scene. There was no allegation of physical assault. Police arrived promptly and set out after Tucker, although they understood that no laws had been broken. After Tucker was beaten and Tasered by police, he was then charged with resisting arrest. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tucker says that when he went to District Attorney David Prater's office to file criminal charges against his arresting officers, he was interviewed by Officer Larry Baker. Officer Baker looked over the paperwork that Tucker gave him and stated that he would have handled the situation differently: Officer Baker said he would have shot Tucker.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tucker has had four surgeries since the incident and is scheduled for another. He experiences migraine headaches, presumably from the electric shock, and excruciating pain doing certain movements from the kicking. Tucker is an armed security guard who has worked alongside officers in the sheriff's department. He recognized that his rights had been violated, and he sued for police brutality. Tucker, a black man, was given an all-white jury and lost his case against police. He did not have the finances to file appeal timely.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TARGETING AND INTIMIDATION. Since Tucker made it plain that he planned to sue police for his abuse, he was apparently targeted by the Oklahoma City Police Department for retaliation. When he was released from jail on the resisting arrest charge, Tucker informed the hospital that he wanted to make a police report about the injuries the medical personnel documented and have photographs taken of his Taser burns. Tucker says he was Tasered by two police officers, one of whom was not certified in Taser use. Oklahoma is said to be the Taser death capitol of America (see a link about that designation below). </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">The hospital apparently called the police to take the report and photograph Tucker's injuries. A police officer appeared in Tucker's hospital room, where Tucker was alone, and stood silently with his arms folded. When Tucker asked why he was there, the officer announced that he was one of the eleven policemen who were at the scene during Tucker's arrest. For Oklahoma City Police Department to send one of Tucker's potential defendants to take the police report was inappropriate, to say the least. Tucker considered it to be extreme intimidation.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tucker has been stopped by police numerous times since his lawsuit was dismissed, although at no time was Tucker committing any crime. He had never been stopped by police before July 3, 2010, the night of his only arrest. During one traffic stop, Tucker and his teenage son were held in the back of a police car for 1.5 hours in clear view of the public. It was humiliating for them both. Moreover, Tucker was frightened for himself and his son, taking into account his beating and Tasering without provocation.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most frightening development is that Oklahoma City Police Department has posted a picture of Tucker on its bulletin board with information stating that Tucker is combative and dangerous to police and that Tucker is disgruntled over losing his lawsuit alleging police brutality. Tucker was informed about this targeting by an officer, and it was admitted to an NAACP officer who called the Oklahoma City Police Department to verify that Tucker's photo is before police officers labeling him as being disgruntled, combative, and a danger to police. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tucker said that he has at no time made threats to police officers, and neither has he taken any actions that can reasonably be perceived as threatening to them. Tucker merely operated within the law to file a police report about his abuse and a civil action in District Court. He operated within his rights and according to the law. Tucker continues to work as an armed guard. He fears that Oklahoma City Police Department made him a target for another beating and false arrest or possibly worse. Tucker seeks an attorney to sue the Oklahoma City Police Department for its pattern of intimidation and targeting as well as libel and defamation of character.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>U.S. Code 242, Section 18 protects Americans, particularly minorities, from police retaliation that Tucker describes. </b>The continuous traffic stops and provocative slander about Tucker on the Oklahoma City Police Department's bulletin board appear to be punitive actions against Tucker for operating in his "rights that are protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States." The code states:</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">U.S. Codes 42, Section 1983 and U.S. Code 242, Sec. 18 are indeed great legal victories. However, victims of abusive practices under the color of law must have legal representation to make America "be true to what she said on paper" (MLK).

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Another African American plans to sue a police department for targeting him for continuous police stops and unwarranted arrests. New York Daily News reports, "Florida police were accused of racial profiling after stopping a man 258 times, charging him with trespassing at work. In the last four years Earl Sampson, 28, has been questioned by police 258 times, searched more than 100 times, jailed 56 times, and arrested for trespassing 62 times. The majority of these citations occurred at his place of work, a Miami Gardens convenience store where the owner says police are racially profiling [his employee]." <br /><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/police-stop-man-258-times-charge-trespassing-work-article-1.1526422">http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/police-stop-man-258-times-charge-trespassing-work-article-1.1526422</a></span><br />

<br />
The First Amendment is a legal victory that continues to make victories possible for Americans, especially in cases where government officials engage in corruption and cover-ups. Prisoner abuse is a prevalent problem in America's domestic correctional institutions. When prison officials and Department of Justice officials sweep prisoner abuse under the rug, media companies and ordinary citizens frequently use their First Amendment rights to expose and oppose brutality and wrongful deaths that might otherwise go undisclosed. George Mallinckrodt published a book about abuse and an inmate's murder that have not yet been corrected in the Florida prison system. The book is called "Getting Away with Murder."<br />
<div>

<br />
George Mallinckrodt is a psychotherapist who formerly worked in Florida prisons counseling mentally ill inmates. He observed an alarming pattern of abuse by corrections officers and complained. He lost his job. Months later, he learned about the death by scalding of Darren Rainey, a 50-year-old black mentally ill inmate who guards scalded to death in a small shower. Rainey was tortured under a strong spray of 180°F water (water boils at 212°F). Rainey's skin had to be scraped from the shower after his body was removed. No charges were filed after Rainey's homicide, and no autopsy report was released to date. Disgusted by the lack of accountability. Mallinckrodt then published a book about abused mentally ill inmates, murderous corrections officers, and the Florida Department of Corrections called "Getting Away with Murder."<br />
<br />
"The Florida Department of Corrections is riddled with amoral, sadistic sociopaths and the people who support, enable, and cover-up their crimes." ~ @GeoMallinckrodt (at Twitter)<br />
<br />
"If what is done to mentally ill Florida inmates was done in the military, these would be considered war crimes." ~George Mallinckrodt<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Regarding the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and wrongful deaths of other inmates, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/United-Nations/105991762765880">United Nations</a> and I recommend that America take the following steps: <b>STOP avoiding accountability for wrongful deaths in custody, world police. "All we ask of America is to 'Be TRUE to what you said on paper'" (MLK). Honor the U.S. Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and International Law.</b><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Florida reportedly had 346 deaths in custody in 2014 alone. The United Nations made the following recommendations about in-custody deaths:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">DEATHS IN CUSTODY</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">22) The Committee notes with concern that 958 inmates died while in the custody of local jails during 2012, an 8 percent increase from the 889 deaths in 2010. During the same year State prison deaths remained stable with 3,351 reported deaths. The Committee is particularly concerned about reports of inmate deaths occurred as a result of extreme heat exposure while imprisoned in unbearably hot and poor ventilated prison facilities in Arizona, California, Florida, New York, Michigan and Texas (arts. 2, 11 and 16).<br /><br />The Committee urges the State party to investigate promptly, thoroughly and impartially ALL deaths of detainees, assessing the health care received by inmates as well as any possible liability of prison personnel, and provide, where appropriate, adequate compensation to the families of the victims <b>(NOT lawyer fraud through The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, surveillance, financial persecution, intimidation against and censorship of the families of victims, which is what happened to the Neals for eleven years to prevent disclosure of Larry Neal's secret murder).</b><br /><br />The State party should adopt urgent measures to remedy any deficiencies concerning the temperature, insufficient ventilation and humidity levels in prison cells, including death row facilities.<br /><br />The United Nations released its assessment regarding the USA's adherence to the Convention Against Torture on November 20, 2014. SEE WHAT THE U.N. SAID ABOUT OTHER NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES IN U.S. CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AT:<br /><a href="http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CAT/Shared%20Documents/USA/INT_CAT_COC_USA_18893_E.pdf">http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CAT/Shared%20Documents/USA/INT_CAT_COC_USA_18893_E.pdf</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a Legal Victory that the United Nations reviewed the USA and 155 other nations regarding their compliance with the Convention Against Torture. It is unfortunate that the United Nations found the USA wanting in so many areas, namely, the mistreatment of prisoners in War on Terror camps and in U.S. domestic correctional facilities as well as immigrant detention centers. The USA repeatedly stated during the CAT examination that it finds torture unacceptable at all times in all circumstances, even during war. That should also include the War Against African Americans that has been ongoing for centuries. The CAT examination was aired on live webcasts at the link below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Quite a bit of the CAT examination focused on the Guantanamo Bay detainees. </b>However, people were not only kidnapped and subjected to involuntary disappearance in offshore detention centers, but U.S. citizens also "disappeared" and were tortured and killed in domestic correctional facilities. The fact that Larry Neal was an American with a disability makes his torture and murder all the more egregious, which is likely why his family is censored and intimidated to hush the matter. We note regarding the Committee Against Torture's Question 17, the USA affirmed: "U.S. federal and state law prohibits unlawful acts that would constitute an enforced or involuntary disappearance, for example, by prohibiting assault, abduction, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and by regulating the release or detention of defendants." Larry was secretly arrested in mid-July 2003 until his death under undisclosed circumstances on August 1, 2003. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Larry's family considers his disappearance a kidnapping</b>, since police refused to admit having the lifelong mentally ill heart patient in custody during the 18 days while Larry was imprisoned in Memphis Shelby County Jail, a facility where he had been arrested numerous times in the recent past. His fingerprints were on file at the jail, as was contact information for his social worker and family members. A missing person report was filed with police but was deliberately ignored, as were Freedom of Information Act requests to the United States Department of Justice after Larry's secret arrest and murder. The same is true regarding a federal subpoena to Memphis Shelby County Jail. We consider Larry Neal's death a murder because police were aware of Larry's heart condition when he was deliberately separated from access to his vital heart and psychiatric medications for nearly three weeks.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Moreover, we consider Larry's death in custody a covered-up murder, </b>because the Department of Justice and federal court for the Western District of Tennessee allowed Shelby County officials and administrators over Memphis Shelby County Jail to file reports that they knew to be false in their deliberate omission of Larry's inexcusable death in custody. Over the past eleven years, extraordinary steps have been taken to conceal Larry's death, including but not limited to, a sexual assault on his elderly mother on her hospital bed, following of other relatives, denial of 911 emergency services when relatives were followed and waylaid by a government vehicle leading four other vehicles, threats from Atlanta police officers to Taser and arrest Mary Neal for telling people about Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder and The Cochran Firm fraud, and DeKalb County police officers were dispatched to Mary Neal's home to order her never to complain to any police superiors about their refusal to address her police reports. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>No corrective action was taken </b>about Neal family's frequent telephone and computer takeovers, stalkers in person and online, apparent agents who falsified their identities to enter the Neals' home as 1) a computer repair person, who actually made Mary Neal's computer inoperable except by calling the repair person to notify him that she wished to go online, 2) a woman who pretended to be Hattie Neal's home health nurse to gain access to her naked buttocks, and 3) another female who befriended a family member and arranged to remove court records and other documents from the Neals' home that were apparently perceived to be instrumental in proving the intimidation, censorship, and financial persecution of the Neal family, which ensued immediately after service of their lawsuit against the family's former wrongful death attorneys, The Johnnie Cochran Firm. The lawsuits alleged that The Cochran Firm's colluded with the Neals' intended defendants: Shelby County Jail, the State of Tennessee, and Larry Neal's final care home (not fully understanding the complicity of the U.S. Department of Justice in Larry's murder cover-up at that time).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">AIMI vs. USA ~ One benefit of taking crimes against mentally challenged Americans before the United Nations will be the exposure. African Americans had been enslaved, brutalized, and lynched for centuries before the civil rights era of the 1960s made mistreatment of blacks in America common knowledge worldwide. The world watched televised protests during which peaceful blacks were assaulted by armed police using dogs and water hoses. I believe negative exposure temporarily incapacitated Jim Crow. "AIMI vs. USA" will expose how people with mental health challenges are mistreated, indefinitely detained, tortured, and often killed by government authority in the USA. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a Legal Victory that families of mentally ill citizens and people with drug/alcohol addictions defy elitist prison investors and take a stand for their loved ones as plaintiffs in "AIMI vs. USA."<br /><br /><b>"If you want something, you had better make some noise.” ~Malcolm X </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">* AIMI will demand monetary damages for claimants plus changes in how America treats mental illness and substance abuse. Incarceration must be replaced with adequate, timely treatment and subsistence assistance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Continue to call and email until you reach Mary Neal. The government may not want you to be included in this international Complaint against the USA. The U.N. provides that abuses by government agents (including police, judges, and other officials) can be levied against its member states. It may not matter if your case is beyond the statute of limitations set by U.S. law or if it was dismissed by corrupt courts. Let our International Lawyer review your case.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This international action is intended to (1) pay restitution to affected parties, (2) protect Americans who have mental disabilities and drug/alcohol dependencies, and (3) protect innocent people who suffered at the hands of untreated mentally ill persons or drug and/or alcohol addicts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">AIMI believes that people with mental illness and drug or alcohol addictions are deliberately left untreated to commit crimes that will excuse long prison sentences. This is done to enlarge our prison population. At least one-half of America's inmates are mentally ill (1.25 million), and over one-half of the victims of police violence are also mentally ill. Sixty percent of inmates in solitary confinement (SHU) are mentally ill. The entire private prison system was created and is sustained by criminalizing mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions. Mentally challenged and addicted people deserve treatment, not punishment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"AIMI vs. USA" will be filed with the International Court in 2015. All Claimants' cases will be reviewed by an International Lawyer, and those selected will be eligible for presentation in "AIMI vs. USA" for recovery of damages and change in how America responds to mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Phone conferences to join Claimants in "AIMI vs. USA" in International Court </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">are held on the first weekend in every month at 9am Pacific time, 10am Mountain Time, 11am Central, and 12 noon Eastern.

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6zzb5oZqZsA/U-9HX1cbHqI/AAAAAAAAUZg/qkWkRRRR3N8/s1600/JC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6zzb5oZqZsA/U-9HX1cbHqI/AAAAAAAAUZg/qkWkRRRR3N8/s1600/JC.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rest in peace, Johnnie Cochran </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
1) Johnnie Cochran was one of the world's most successful and celebrated attorneys. He helped to exonerate numerous defendants and won significant courtroom victories for victimized minority clients, including police victims' survivors. Cochran won an acquittal for O.J. Simpson in 1995. He entered a subpoena to demand FBI records in defense of Geronimo ji-Jaga (formerly "Elmer Gerard Pratt"), the former minister of defense for the Black Panther Party. Thanks in large part to Cochran, ji-Jaga's conviction was vacated in 1997 after the innocent man had spent 27 years in prison, eight of them in solitary confinement. Cochran said that helping to exonerate ji-Jaga was the most satisfying achievement of his career. It appears that ji-Jaga was a political prisoner set up by CoIntelPro.<br /><br />2) “COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was/is a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. COINTELPRO tactics included discrediting targets through psychological warfare, planting false reports in the media, smearing through forged letters, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, extralegal violence and assassination.<br /><br />3) Covert operations under COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971; however, the FBI has used covert operations against targeted individuals and domestic political groups since its inception. The FBI's stated motivation at the time was ‘protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order’” (Wikipedia and other sources). The "social order" was and still is dominance by white elitists. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and many people who protested environmental pollution, the Vietnam War, and systemic racism were targeted by COINTELPRO, especially members of the Black Panther Party. Most of COINTELPRO's budget went to suppressing African Americans' quest for civil and human rights. Although whites and Jews as well as Native Americans and Puerto Ricans were also surveilled, one of the FBI program's main goals was to "prevent the rise of a black Messiah," <br /><br /><div>
4) Johnnie Cochran manifested signs of becoming a “black Messiah.” Cochran experienced numerous successes against police departments in wrongful death and brutality cases, and he had bigger plans. In 2002, Cochran announced plans he and others made to gather a "dream team" of lawyers to sue the United States and major corporations for slavery and Jim Crow reparations. In preparation, he gave free legal services to claimants who planned to sue for damages related to the Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921 riots (Black Wall Street). Perhaps to raise capital for the reparations lawsuit, Cochran sold part ownership of his law firm to some Southern whites, then fell ill with an inoperable brain tumor and died on May 28, 2005. <br /><br />5) Who would make better CoIntelPro agents than lawyers operating falsely under a name that people trust like Johnnie Cochran's? CoIntelPro's agenda was/is to keep wealth out of blacks' hands, spy on communication, and take other offensive actions to maintain the "status quo." Lawyers do not have to spy on their clients; we answer whatever they ask, thinking our communication is protected by client/attorney privilege. We also believe that lawyers who contract with us in civil action cases work diligently because they are paid on a contingency basis. <br /><br />6) The Cochran Firm, under the new partners, are repeatedly sued for fraud and racism. Most lawsuits against The Cochran Firm have been unsuccessful despite an abundance of evidence presented by plaintiffs. In "Neals v. The Cochran Firm," the law firm had no defense to allegations that it contracted to represent survivors of Larry Neal but did absolutely no work on the case during 11 of Tennessee's 12-month statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits. The case involved a mentally ill African American man who was secretly arrested and killed in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003. Having no defense to the Neals' lawsuit for fraud and malpractice, The Cochran Firm falsely declared its Georgia offices "nonexistent," and Georgia Superior Court as well as federal court agreed with them. The "nonexistent" Cochran Firm law office in Atlanta had other cases before those very courts at that time. The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office had television commercials, billboards, Internet ads, and MARTA ads offering its services to Georgians while declaring itself nonexistent in court. Who are those masked men and women?<br /><br />7) Dozens of former clients, attorneys, and a partnering law firm have sued The Cochran Firm, alleging fraud, racism, sex discrimination, and/or malpractice. Randy McMurray, a former partner, sued the firm for RICO Act racketeering. Lawsuits against The Cochran Firm are published in legal journals, but reports about lawsuits against the firm seldom reach the public. That is because mainstream media is apparently complicit in The Cochran Firm frauds against Africans in America, Native Americans, and Latinos. So are many other entities, such as those that continually ignore The Cochran Firm's proved duplicity and award the firm and its lawyers high honors that are not deserved. The Cochran Firm saves government entities and corporations billions annually some years by defrauding its own clients in civil actions. For example, in the case of John Crawford, III's fatal shooting by police in an Ohio Walmart store, The Cochran Firm only demanded $75,000. Johnnie Cochran may have had doubts about his new partners' honesty in criminal law matters. Former Cochran Firm attorney Shawn Chapman Holley revealed that Cochran made his partners agree to never undertake criminal law cases (perhaps because of their private prison investments or connections).<br /><br />8) Legal Victories: Under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this writer has the right to notify legal consumers in minority communities about The Cochran Firm fraud against them, although efforts to do so are illegally censored. Unfortunately, consumer protection agencies, including the BBB, apparently participate in nondisclosure. The BBB refused to take a consumer report from Mary Neal when the law firm claimed falsely that it had no law offices in Georgia. Either The Cochran Firm has an Atlanta office, or it engages in false advertising. Yet the FCC and FTC do nothing to stop their ads. Mary Neal's reports about The Cochran Firm fraud have been followed by intimidation and endangerment, home burglaries, and financial persecution against the writer and her family that are thus far refused investigation and legal remedy. Meanwhile, the list of lawsuits against The Cochran Firm alleging malpractice continue to grow.<br /><br />9) The Cochran Firm claimed in Georgia Superior Court that the Atlanta law office was NOT a Cochran Firm office and had no association with other Cochran Firm offices. The Cochran Firm further claimed when sued by the Neals in federal court that it had NO law offices in the City of Memphis. Nevertheless, The Cochran Firm is now fighting in California after lawsuit by Randy McMurray to be considered ONE law firm with multiple offices across the nation, just like it proclaims on its website and all its ads and according to its representation to the Neal family. The identity and operations of that law firm are shrouded in secrecy. The Cochran Firm's identity changes according to whether one is a legal consumer seeking services or a former client planning to sue the firm for fraud.</div>

<u>First Paragraph Repeated:</u><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">Who would make better CoIntelPro agents than lawyers operating falsely under a name people trust like Johnnie Cochran's? CoIntelPro's agenda was/is to keep wealth out of blacks' hands, spy on communication (lawyers don't have to spy - we tell them), and to prevent the rise of a black Messiah, among others. Cochran had started to distinguish himself as a "black Messiah" in courtrooms across the nation, and he announced plans to sue the U.S.A. and major corporations that condoned slavery, Jim Crow, and used leased slaves. He died shortly after contracting with new partners who are repeatedly sued for fraud and racism. Most lawsuits against The Cochran Firm are unsuccessful, regardless of the abundance of evidence presented. In "Neals v. The Cochran Firm," the law firm declared its Georgia offices "nonexistent," and GA Superior Court as well as federal court agreed with them - a "nonexistent" law firm that had other cases before those very courts while declaring its own nonexistent. Who are those masked men and women?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, comedians make jokes about America's high incarceration rate and brutality prisoners endure. See "John Oliver: Prison (HBO)" on YouTube at <a href="http://youtu.be/_Pz3syET3DY">http://youtu.be/_Pz3syET3DY</a> and embedded below. I thought of doing stand-up about the murders my brother, Larry Neal, and other mentally ill prisoners, who comprise 1.25 million of the nation's inmates. Some corrections officers and police love abusing and killing mentally ill Americans, and there seems to be no inclination on the Justice Department's part to adress these crimes. There is seldom any prosecution and almost no convictions related to police violence and brutality by corrections officers. The HBO video is a Legal Victory for exposing of the commercialization of punishment in the USA. Congratulations, John Oliver and HBO.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Johnny Strozier is on the air! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Strozier was incarcerated in 1968 and remained behind bars for 46 years. The reformed man is enjoying his first year of freedom. Strozier's experiences during his lifetime behind bars are relayed on "Human Rights Demand" Blogtalkradio broadcasts every Friday at 6:30pm EDT. Strozier's </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">final eight months in Macon Prison, he was a cellmate to the famous Atlanta child killer Wayne Williams. Listen at (347) 857-3293 or by computer (our "Human Rights Demand" tapes are available for listening any time). The inspiring June 13th show:</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/06/13/johnny-strozier-keeping-it-real"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/06/13/johnny-strozier-keeping-it-real</span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>On July 31, 2014, Strozier will celebrate his first year of freedom since age 10. </b></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Strozier was in the Georgia prison system from 1968 until 2013. He is a Christian who desires to help youths avoid incarceration and encourage people who are reentering society to stay on the right track. He works, attends church regularly, is married, and excited over being a free adult for the very first time. Please call and congratulate Strozier next Friday on air at "Human Rights Demand" channel on Blogtalkradio.<br /><br />We recognize that 90 percent of the nation's inmates have a release date in their folders. If all of them exited prison with Strozier's attitude, society would be greatly improved. Unfortunately, released prisoners have a 67.5 percent recidivism rate. Our correctional institutions must shift the focus to rehabilitation rather than punishment to improve released prisoners' chances of success. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Strozier worked for many years while incarcerated. In Georgia, prison laborers receive zero pay and only $25 upon release. In a few days, a fundraiser will be added to this article to collect a welcome home gift for Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Strozier in recognition of his first anniversary as a free man. Donations of any amount would be appreciated. Johnny Strozier is available for speaking engagements. His theme is personal responsibility.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Johnny Strozier accepts personal responsibility for his prison sentence, although he was incarcerated before the age of accountability. </b></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Strozier's sentence was lengthened numerous times after his arrest. As a youngster growing up behind bars, he escaped numerous times, joined a prison gang, and even assaulted a guard. At one point, Strozier was on death row, but the guard lived and so did Strozier. Strozier's warden told him that he would never exit prison except in a coffin, but Strozier's outlook changed in the 1980's when he became a Christian. He then recognized that people must renew their minds in order to change their lives. Lucky for him, the Georgia Pardons and Parole Board and his warden noticed Johnny's turnaround and gave him a second chance.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On each of Strozier's radio broadcasts, he says if a man will think right, he will act right and obtain the right results. Strozier relayed the story about his spiritual conversion that he credits with eventually leading to his prison release.

Thanks to government officials who fund reentry programs and otherwise work to reduce mass incarceration in the USA. When released prisoners are successful, society is improved for us all.

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The New York Times reported on May 2, 2014, that the president declared [the] botched execution [of Clayton Lockett] in Oklahoma “deeply disturbing” and directed the attorney general . . . to review how the death penalty is applied in the United States at a time when it has become increasingly debated.<br /><br />“In the application of the death penalty in this country, we have seen significant problems — racial bias, uneven application of the death penalty, you know, situations in which there were individuals on death row who later on were discovered to have been innocent because of exculpatory evidence,” Mr. Obama told reporters. “And all these, I think, do raise significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied.”<br /><br />Especially with mystery drugs being used to execute Americans, many abolitionists are encouraged by the president's directive to review executions in the United States. The United Nations News Centre published an article regarding Oklahoma's botched execution. An excerpt is below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>UN rights office calls on US to impose death penalty moratorium after botched execution.</b><br /><br /><i>2 May 2014 – The suffering of United States inmate Clayton Lockett during his execution in Oklahoma on 29 April could amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment according to international human rights law, the United Nations said today, calling on the US authorities to impose an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty.<br /><br />The prolonged death of Mr. Lockett – who reportedly died of a heart attack after an execution that went wrong – is the second case of apparent extreme suffering caused by malfunctioning lethal injections reported in 2014 in the US, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (<a href="http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Pages/WelcomePage.aspx">OHCHR</a>).<br /><br />The other case was that of Dennis McGuire, executed by the state of Ohio on 16 January 2014 with an allegedly untested combination of drugs.<br /><br />“The apparent cruelty involved in these recent executions simply reinforces the argument that authorities across the United States should impose an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty and work for abolition of this cruel and inhuman practice,” OHCHR spokesperson Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva.</i><br /><br /><b>The Death Penalty Information Center</b> featured a book by Austin Sarat that regards botched executions. An excerpt is below:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><i>A new book, "Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty," describes the history of flawed executions in the U.S. from 1890 to 2010. During that period, 8,776 people were executed, and 276 of those executions went wrong in some way. Of all the methods used, lethal injection had the highest rate of botched executions--about 7%. Austin Sarat, the author of the book and a professor of jurisprudence and political science at Amherst College, described the evolution of new methods of execution: "With each development in the technology of execution, the same promises have been made, that each new technology was safe, reliable, effective and humane. Those claims have not generally been fulfilled."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">On the day before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Michigan's right to ban affirmative action in its colleges and universities, Attorney General Eric Holder announced an expansive clemency review that could release thousands of prisoners. Below is an excerpt from the Daily Kos:</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Attorney General Eric Holder <a href="http://www.justice.gov/agwa.php">announced in a video</a> Monday, April 21, 2014, that the Department of Justice on Wednesday will lay out the details of expanded criteria for clemency recommendations it makes to the president for his review. The changes might mean thousands of prisoners could be granted clemency.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br />Holder did not say which prisoners might benefit from the coming changes. But he took note of the Fair Sentencing Act in 2010. That significantly but not wholly reduced the vast sentencing difference between convictions for crack and powder cocaine, a factor in the previous law that had had a tremendously disparate impact on African Americans. But the 2010 law did nothing for drug offenders sentenced before it took effect.</i></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Holder said, "There are still too many people in federal prison who were sentenced under the old regime —and who, as a result, will have to spend far more time in prison than they would if sentenced today for exactly the same crime,” Holder said. “This is simply not right.”</i></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>We may owe this legal victory in part to the United Nations, which criticized the United States on mass incarceration and disparate racial sentencing in its report that was released in March 2014, saying:</b><br /><br />“[The] committee continues to be concerned about racial disparities at different stages in the criminal justice system, sentencing disparities and the over-representation of individuals belonging to racial and ethnic minorities in prisons and jails.”<br /><br />Al Jazeera reported, "The U.N. body calls on the U.S. to retroactively implement the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act and close a loophole that allows <a href="http://projects.aljazeera.com/2014/crack-cocaine/index.html">thousands of nonviolent offenders to languish in federal prisons as a result of draconian drug laws</a>. The report also demands measures to end to racial profiling and praises steps to end New York City’s stop-and-frisk program."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">CONGRATULATIONS, AMERICA. Reducing mass incarceration is a step toward justice - a legal victory for overly-sentenced inmates and for the nation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Disability Law Center,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> a federal agency, is investigating Bridgewater State Hospital psychiatric prison in Massachusetts because one Caucasian mental patient was murdered in restraint there in 2009, and another patient's mother threatens lawsuit because of his isolation and subjection to restraint. The investigation may be a legal victory to sick inmates in that facility and others.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the restraint death in 2009, the deceased's survivors were awarded a $3million wrongful death settlement, and we can hope that the patient who was tortured in solitary confinement and restraint recently will also be compensated for his pain and suffering. He may recover damages if he is a Caucasian. Unfortunately, black victims of police violence and survivors of black mental patients who were killed by police, correctional officers, and hospitals generally encounter government cover-ups, denial of due process of law. If they persist in seeking justice, they may encounter surveillance and persecution. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">All acute mental patients are subject to being treated as though they are expendable by the justice system. However, that mistreatment is more quickly met with corrective action by higher authorities once the public is informed that the deceased or brutalized mental patients are/were white. Not so if those killed or abused were black.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Farm animals are ordinarily exterminated when they prove to be useless in their prescribed roles, and that is how persons with mental disabilities are often treated. However, if a spotlight is turned on whites being killed by police and in corrections, some Caucasian families are paid settlements even without filing lawsuits. Contrarily, blacks' deaths are subject to cover-up conspiracies from their local governments and Washington.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">A recent example is the death of Jerome Murdough, a homeless Marine Corps veteran who was slow-roasted to death on Rikers Island in February 2014. There was no attempt by the prison authorities, the deceased's attorney, or New York officials to notify Murdough's family about his demise in government custody. Three weeks after Murdough baked to death, a reporter from the Associated Press asked his family for an interview, and that was how Murdough's survivors learned about his horrendous death. His survivors were obviously never meant to know. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Larry Neal, a middle aged mentally ill heart patient was secretly arrested (kidnapped) and kept incarcerated 18 days while his family and social worker were lied to by Memphis Shelby County Jail and told he was not in custody. During this 18-day period, Larry Neal was dying in jail without his heart drugs. He might also have had a schizophrenic crisis without his psychiatric medications, leading to death in restraint or by Taser. The Neal family does not know the circumstances of Larry Neal's arrest or his death under secret incarceration because officials from Tennessee and Washington determined that he and his family are too black to matter. His murder was ruled "immaterial." Therefore, our inquiries are ignored altogether or denied records. Worse, we endure persecution for asking about the secret arrest and murder of this lifelong mentally ill heart patient.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Read more about how black mental patients' families are treated after brutality or wrongful deaths by police compared to cases involving Caucasians in a soon to be released book, "COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">All persons with mental health disabilities need and deserve assistance by their fellow countrymen. They experience a greater risk of arrests, prisoner abuse, and death-by-police no matter what race they are. But African Americans are further abused AFTER death by cover-ups that Caucasians are usually spared. I already know what will happen when I contact Disability Law Center about Larry Neal's secret murder in government custody in 2003 - likely the same things that happened when I contacted every other government agency. Some of my readers must see it to believe it, especially under this administration.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Murderous police officers need not worry. They usually attack the Neals whenever I ask a government agency "What Happened to Larry Neal?" We are ordinarily punished for asking why Larry Neal was secretly arrested and killed in a jail that was under oversight by the United States Department of Justice after lawsuit by the USA. Investigation and accountability are denied while my family is targeted for intimidation and persecution.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">What would happen if the Larry Neal's survivors ask Disability Law Center to investigate Larry Neal's murder under secret arrest? Will our yard be outlined in paint and helicopters stand still over our rooftop again? Will government vehicles leading four other cars trail and waylay me at another Chevron station? Will a car come out of nowhere and rear-end a relative's vehicle and flee again? Will they carry out their threats against children in our family? Will my elderly mother receive more lewd photos on her cellphone of black men's penises? <br /><br />Will they again order agents to prevent calls to and from our home - especially from potential employers? Will they send another impostor to pose as a health care provider to assault my elderly mother on her hospital bed? Will they send another U.S. Marshal ONLY to our home to say he is looking for an escaped murderer at a neighbor's house who has an assault weapon? Will our home be burglarized again to steal more original court records and other evidence regarding our lawsuit against CoIntelPro lawyers at The Cochran Firm? Will police again be dispatched to warn us not to contact officials? Will police again threaten to Taser and arrest me for notifying the public about Larry's lynching and The Cochran Firm fraud, news which the media refuses to report? What intimidation or actual harm will we suffer if we ask Disability Law Center, a federal agency, What Happened to Larry Neal?</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is a legal victory</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">, </span></span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">especially </span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">for Caucasian mental patients, that Disability Law Center is investigating B</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">ridgewater State Hospital psychiatric prison in Massachusetts because one mental patient was murdered in restraint there in 2009 and another patient's mother plans a lawsuit because of her son's isolation and subjection to restraint. It will be a more significant legal victory if America ever becomes a place where the government ceases discrimination against people based on health, race, or socioeconomic classifications. This will not happen as long as racism and health discrimination happen without exposure and opposition. Therefore, we also congratulate persons responsible for three recent studies that shed light on these issues. See the results of the studies in an article in "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" called "</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cards Stacked Against Black Boys, Especially If Mentally Challenged." Three studies are listed below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />1. The American Psychological Association (APA) proved that black boys as young as age 10 are perceived as being roughly 4. 5 years older than they are and more responsible (especially when legal problems arise) than Caucasian children are.<br /><br />2. The Discipline Disparities Research-to-Practice Collaborative proved that black children labeled as having mental challenges are punished more severely than their Caucasian counterparts and healthy African Americans. The disparity continues throughout their adult years, especially regarding their rates of arrest and imprisonment.<br /><br />3. A study by Kelly M. Hoffman and Adam Waytz shows that people, including medical personnel, assume black people feel less pain than white people, and they receive less empathy, even from other black people. The cover-up conspiracy and intimidation heaped on Larry Neal's family to prevent our justice quest prove the lack of empathy engulfs blacks as well as Caucasians in government offices, civil and human rights and religious organizations, media, and law enforcement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The studies proved that the legal system's prejudice against mentally ill people is compounded when those affected by this disability are black. See the article with links at</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/03/cards-stacked-against-black-boys.html">http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2014/03/cards-stacked-against-black-boys.html</a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Few people can imagine the persecution against African Americans families who fight unjust murders and arrests of their members. Holly Allison is the mother of a former Pennsylvania mentally ill inmate named Terrell Scott. Scott endured 4.5 years of wrongful imprisonment while denied a trial regarding child molestation charges. He finally signed a false confession and plea deal to gain release. Alston refuses to abandon Scott to the system that already robbed her son of eyesight in one eye, hearing in one ear, and exposed him to HIV during his rape and brutality while behind bars. Therefore, Pennsylvania courts threaten to take her youngest son, Kai, who is ten. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Elizabeth Crudup was brutalized during her recent arrest in North Carolina, because she fights for her son, Shannon Nyamodi. Shannon was wrongly arrested for a robbery and shooting that witnesses say a Caucasian youth did. After her brutal arrest for a traffic infraction, Crudup's car was towed to a rural county that has/had a large sign pronouncing it as being KKK territory, and she was afraid to retrieve it. Shannon has been denied a trial for nearly two years while his 19th and 20th birthdays were passed in solitary confinement, where he is prevented visits or phone calls in order to force him to sign a false confession for the crimes of a white youth. Shannon is not mentally ill, but it appears that the justice system is intent on inflicting that ailment on the youth through solitary confinement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Virginia's Senator Deeds' son was denied treatment in three psychiatric facilities before he stabbed his father in the neck and then committed suicide in 2013. If a Caucasian with a decent income and political clout like Senator Deeds is denied treatment for his mentally ill son, one should be able to imagine what people who are African Americans, Native Americans, or Latinos who lack wealth and connections must endure. Thus far, the Deeds and Kelley Thomas's family, and other Caucasians are spared the persecution that the Neals, Holly Alston, and Elizabeth Crudup face for standing up to the justice system on behalf of their neglected, abused, or murdered relatives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One solution would be to end private prisons or demand that public officials and their spouses divest themselves of private prison stocks. Government officials are in a position to engage in "insider trading" by diverting funds from mental health programs that actually work, like assisted outpaient treatment (AOT) programs that provide subsistence assistance and mandate psychiatric treatment for people with acute mental illness. Medicaid insurance was withdrawn from psychiatric inpatients, and mental hospitals downsized or closed at a steady rate since the 1970s in order to facilitate the establishment and continued growth of America's private prison industry. Civil commitment laws are in place that prevent families from accessing professional services unless patients are declared a danger to self and others. When patients prove to be dangerous, they are usually imprisoned rather than hospitalized. The mental health laws that overfilled our prisons to the point that private prisons were made necessary were passed by prison investors in Government.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mentally ill Americans and persons from minority populations comprise roughly two-thirds of the inmates in America (1.25million inmates are mentally challenged people of all races). The prison industry is so important to U.S. officials that deaths in custody are sometimes covered up, like Larry Neal's was and like authorities probably planned for Jerome Mudough. Complaints by African Americans, Native Americans and Latinos whose relatives are wrongly imprisoned and brutalized or killed by police officers and corrections officers are usually ignored or they who complain endure retaliation. The monster must be fed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rep. Tim Murphy</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is a Legal Victory that Representative Tim Murphy (R-PA) introduced H.R. 3717 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act" in the U.S. House of Representatives in December 2012. The bill has 48 co-sponsors presently, 8 of whom are Democrats. Rep. Tim Murphy was a practicing psychologist before entering politics. He has served in the U.S. Congress as Pennsylvania's representative from the 18th congressional district since 2003. Rep. Murphy understands mental illness and the failures of the mental health care system. He discussed the bill in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper (YouTube video): <a href="http://youtu.be/gsUd8hMBAbA">http://youtu.be/gsUd8hMBAbA</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rep. Murphy describes mental health system as an immoral embarrassment on the nation. Help for the mentally ill in America will soon be available if H.R.3717 is passed by the U.S. Congress. H.R.3717 provides for (1) inpatient psychiatric treatment using Medicaid insurance, (2) special training for police officers, which should reduce injuries and deaths during lunacy arrests, (3) a national awareness campaign to reduce the stigma associated with serious mental illness, and (4) implementation of assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs, which mandate outpatient psychiatric treatment for participants and provide subsistence assistance for food and housing. AOT programs reduce homelessness, arrests, incarceration and hospitalization by over 80% among program participants when compared to their experiences three years before entering an AOT program.<br /><br />"New Bill Decreases Mental Health Funding, but Increases Mental Illness Funding," by D.J.Jaffe<br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dj-jaffe/newbill-decreases-mental-_b_4454811.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dj-jaffe/newbill-decreases-mental-_b_4454811.html</a><br /><br />H.R.3717 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act of 2013" (read the summary)<br /><a href="http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/3717">http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/3717</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Call-in number (347) 857-3293. Listen live at 3pm Eastern Time or hear the archived tape using the link above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Bob Darby</b> has a B.A. in psychology from Emory University and has attended graduate schools in psychology and theology. He is a former employee of Georgia Regional Hospital, Boston State Hospital, and New Hampshire's Hanover-Darthmouth Hospital. In 1994, he founded Atlanta Food Not Bombs and has been an advocate for the homeless mentally ill for more than twenty years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Elizabeth Gaskins</b> is a human rights advocate who hosts a weekly radio show on Human Rights Demand called "Native American Affairs - Freemen." Her show airs Wednesdays at 3pm. Listen to her debut broadcast, taped at this link</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Elizabeth Gaskins will discuss how mentally ill people are subject to wrongful arrests rather than receiving proper care and treatment. We will discuss Jerome Murdough, a homeless Marine Corps veteran who suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who was arrested in Riker's Island jail and died there of overheating in a solitary jail cell in February 2014. Murdough essentially baked to death. Bob Darby will discuss how deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill during President Regan's term and simultaneous removal (through lack of funding) for the "safety net" of detoxification centers, group homes and outpatient treatment programs contributed to Murdough's avoidable death and the negligence of America's most vulnerable population. Jails and prisons have replaced hospitals for chronic mentally ill Americans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Dr. Mustafa Ansari</b>, an international human rights attorney and Dean of the American Institute for Human Rights, spoke about Jerome Murdough's death on Riker's Island during his radio show on March 26.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The National Alliance on Mental Illness says that if they get the chance, eighty percent of bipolars and sixty percent of schizophrenics could be successfully treated to fully participate in mainstream society. But such treatment and medications are not currently available to many of them, because the new "atypical anti-psychotics" and other new drugs are expensive and must be professionally administered under in-patient supervision. Inpatient treatment under Medicaid Insurance would be resumed in certain facilities under provisions of H.R.3717 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mayor to sign measure that replaces jail times with civil fines for small amounts of pot but keep public smoking a misdemeanor.</span></b><br />
March 4, 2014 - The District of Columbia City Council voted Tuesday to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in the nation's capital. Mayor Vincent Gray said he <a href="http://www.wusa9.com/story/news/local/dc/2014/03/04/marijuana-decriminalized-dc-council/6025735/">intends to sign</a> the measure, which replaces jail time with civil fines but does not legalize the use, possession, sale or growing of pot. Congress still has veto power, though that is considered unlikely given the divided control of each chamber.<br />

<div>
President Obama Ratifies U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People</div>
<br />
On Thursday, December 16, 2011, President Barack H. Obama provided a belated U.S. endorsement on the the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. The sad irony (at least for the Indian Freedmen of the 5 Civilized Tribes with a Class Action on behalf of that class pending in the U.S. Supreme Court) is that the announcement was given before an assemblage of 320 personally invited Representatives at the White House Tribal Nations Conference at the Department of the Interior, inclusive only of "Federally Recognized Tribes", forsaking all others.<br />
<br />
President Obama gave no particulars in his address, which he promised to address later. The United States was one of a handful of countries to refrain from backing the doctrine in the past.<br />
<br />
<div>
The president said, "I can announce that the United States is lending its support to this declaration. The aspirations it affirms--including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of the Native peoples--are ones we must always seek to fulfill."</div>

(Scopia has decreased its private prison stock by 59 percent since December 2012.) Their announcements mark the first round of success for civil rights nonprofit Color of Change, which has been pushing over 150 companies to divest from for-profit incarceration companies since last year.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />It might be a legal victory for Tennessee if Judge Joe Brown becomes Shelby County's District Attorney General. We hope to speak with Judge Brown about his candidacy since he was released from Shelby County Jail, where my brother, Larry Neal, was murdered under secret arrest in 2003. Judge Brown was arrested on contempt of court charges related to his indignation over how a juvenile court judge was running his courtroom. Fox carries the report at the link below, which includes a video and article. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Judge Joe Brown kept talking as Juvenile Court Judge</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> James Beasley </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">demanded his silence. Judge Beasley started by giving Judge Brown a 24-hour sentence for contempt. Judge Brown said the juvenile court judge had no authority to sentence him for more than $10. Judge Brown said he had already checked that before the court hearing. Judge Beasley continued adding more days to the contempt sentence while Judge Brown spoke until the contempt of court sentence was five days. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Judge Joe Brown might find that Shelby County, Tennessee observes its own code of justice that has nothing to do with what is written on paper. It is a government entity that rallies to protect offenders who are connected, including murderers in the Memphis Police Department and Shelby County Jail. This writer is almost disappointed that Judge Brown did not serve his entire sentence, which he said was illegally levied. He would have seen how much work must be done as District Attorney of Shelby County to influence the county officials and the judiciary there to respect the law. </span></div>

Judge Brown said his goal is to keep teens out of jail. Since Memphis Shelby County Jail (while under federal overview) can secretly arrest and kill African Americans without giving any accountability for the deaths, Judge Brown is potentially giving youths lifesaving advice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Federal Bureau of Prisons intends to impose new requirements on the more than 200 federal halfway houses throughout the country, mandating that they provide treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues, permit cell phone use and provide transportation so that inmates can pursue jobs, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday. (Huffington Post - March 24, 2014)</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is a legal victory for mentally ill people in federal halfway houses that they will be provided treatment for psychiatric issues and substance abuse. The federal government should levy these mandates for all halfway houses that receive any federal funds, including those where inmates are supported by social security disability checks. More halfway houses should also be opened to ensure the safety of Americans with mental disabilities and reduce the number of inmates incarcerated because of their common, treatable health disability (presently 1.25 million people). A homeless, mentally ill Marine Corps veteran was arrested for vagrancy in February, then he was literally baked to death in Riker's Island Jail. See an article about Jerome Murdough's demise:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There was a time when I thought we could negotiate a confidential settlement regarding the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal. I assumed the government and The Cochran Firm would not want it known that a mentally ill heart patient who was a U.S. citizen was killed and his survivors were defrauded by a law firm carrying Johnnie Cochran's name. We initially believed Larry's death was accidental. Not only was Larry Neal's death NOT accidental, but authorities do not seem to mind if the whole world knows that mentally and physically disabled Americans are secretly jailed and killed and that such deaths are covered up. It happens regularly. Apparently, it happened to Jerome Murdough.<br /><br />Jerome Murdough was a 56-year-old mentally challenged veteran who was BAKED to death in Riker's Island in February 2014, but his family was not told for weeks. Finally, AP notified Murdough's family, not prison authorities or his attorney. The prison reportedly informed Murdough's state-appointed attorney three days after his demise. Perhaps officials and the lawyer had agreed that Murdough's family must never to be told about their relative slow-roasting to death in a Riker's Island prison cell.<br /><br />Like Larry Neal, Jerome Murdough had suffered numerous previous arrests due to his mental illness before his fatal incarceration. It is likely that officials had contact information for Murdough's relatives in his file. But officials withhold information about mentally ill citizens' deaths sometimes to spare themselves bad publicity and save money on wrongful death lawsuits. That is why AIMI recommends that families physically search jails when looking for missing loved ones. Merely calling authorities and filing a missing person report are insufficient, as police lied when Larry Neal was "missing" for 18 days in 2003. He was secretly incarcerated throughout that time. Larry died in Memphis Shelby County Jail, deprived of his heart medications and likely because of other inexcusable abuses of power. The Neals were NEVER told the circumstances of Larry Neal's death, and we are censored and persecuted for asking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If not for AP contacting Murdough's relatives, Murdough might have been "missing" forever and presumed dead. That was the likely plan. If only The Cochran Firm had not pretended (under contract) to handle Larry Neal's wrongful death and negligence civil actions, the Neals would have contacted media companies much sooner than WE DID to notify the public about Larry's secret murder. The Cochran Firm swore us to silence immediately regarding Larry's death, which we did not recognize at the time as being a coldblooded, premeditated murder. By the time we discovered The Cochran Firm had secretly withheld our lawsuits while Tennessee's statute of limitations ran, nearly a year had passed, and mainstream media had obviously agreed to withhold reports about the "wrongful death of Larry Neal" (Google it). That is still the case today. As odd as it seems, Murdough's mom and sister (pictured below) are lucky. They do not have to investigate and report Murdough's death themselves. See links to reports about Jerome Murdough by AP and Mother Jones.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The British human rights firm Leigh Day has been hired by the Caribbean Community consortium to pursue slavery reparations and apologies from Britain, France and the Netherlands. The suit claims that these nations are responsible for lingering harms which can be attributed to the slave trade.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Leigh Day is a specialist law firm with some of Britian's leading attorneys in personal injury, product liability, clinical negligence, employment and discrimination, international and human rights teams. Unlike other law firms, Leigh Day acts exclusively for claimants who've been injured or treated unlawfully by others. <br /><br /><b>Leigh Day represents the rights of people and the environment in a world of multi-national organisations and global responsibility. </b>Over the last twenty years, Leigh Day has been involved in ground-breaking cases involving the claims of foreign nationals against UK-based multinational companies (MNCs) and government departments and the rights of British nationals abroad. These have included among others:</span><br />
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Claims for Kenyan victims of torture at the hands of British officials during the Mau Mau independence movement in the 1950s and 1960s (Mutua & Ors v Foreign Commonwealth Office)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The UK’s largest-ever group action on behalf of 30,000 Ivorians affected by toxic waste dumping in the Ivory Coast (Motto & Ors v Trafigura)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Claims for thousands of South African mine workers who developed lung diseases following their exposure to asbestos and silica dust in the mines (Lubbe & Ors v Cape Plc; Chandler v Cape plc; Alpheus Zonisile Blom v Anglo American South Africa Limited (SA); Flatela Vava & Ors v Anglo American South Africa Limited (UK))</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Claims against African Barrick Gold on behalf of Tanzanian villagers for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by the use of excessive force by mine security and police</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Claims against the British Government for complicity in extraordinary rendition and torture in the war on terror (Binyam Mohammed v The Security Services & Ors; Abul-Hakim Belhadj & Or v Rt Hon Jack Straw MP and Ors)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Claims on behalf of Iraqi and Afghan nationals detained and abused by British Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan (Muhanna & Ors v The Ministry of Defence; Dawood Mousa Al-Maliki on behalf of the Estate of Mr Baha Mousa(deceased) and Others v The Ministry of Defence; Serdar Mohammed v The Ministry of Defence)</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Leigh Day says, "The common strand to these claims has been the pursuit of the rights of the individual against corporate and governmental bodies. The David vs Goliath battles are our forte and are why we are widely seen as the leading firm in this country in this type of case."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /><b>It is a legal victory for all people </b>that the Caribbean nations united to sue for slavery reparations by Leigh Day, a law firm that is accomplished in pursuing justice under International Law. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. Empty-handed apologies for atrocious crimes against humanity are necessarily insincere and unacceptable, whether in the Caribbean, America, or elsewhere. Paying reparations would be good for all nations that engaged in slavery. Reparations would finally "clear the air." See an excerpt below from an article by MaryLovesJustice published in November 2013:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some cannot rest easy living among people who were treated so horribly and who are yet victimized by economic depression, prison slavery and weekly lynchings. Therefore, they say "I felt threatened" when they kill us, and even liberal whites understand. For they, too, have felt that unreasonable fear. This explains why liberals tolerate oppressive laws like Stop & Frisk, and juries comprised of otherwise decent people release murderous police officers and ordinary white citizens who kill innocent, unarmed blacks.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">European nations do not embrace the opportunity to pay reparations. The Guardian reports that <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/davidcameron">David Cameron</a> has made clear he is ready to pull the UK out of the European convention on human rights if he believes it is necessary to keep Britain safe. This assertion was supposedly issued in connection with Britain's desire to deport people who are perceived as being a threat, but the Caribbean Community's lawsuit is probably a larger impetus. <br /><br /><b>"European Nations Attempt to Evade Reparations Lawsuit, But Caricom May Gain Political Leverage" ~ </b>David Standard, the head of media relations at Leigh Day, said, “This was one of the most heinous periods of mankind. France, the Netherlands, Britain all massively benefited through the course of this time. It was built on the backs of the slavery trade. While one fully understands that these countries are not doing as well as they once were, at the same time, in the end if you have a debt due, you have a debt due."</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">NEW YORK STATE</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The New York Civil Liberties Union scored legal victory in its challenges against long-term solitary confinement, the New York Times reported on February 19, 2014. See an excerpt below:</span><br />
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">New York State has agreed to sweeping reforms intended to curtail the widespread use of solitary confinement, </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">including prohibiting its use in disciplining prisoners under 18.</span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In doing so, New York becomes the largest prison system in the United States to prohibit the use of disciplinary confinement for minors, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union . . . State correction officials will also be prohibited from imposing solitary confinement as a disciplinary measure for inmates who are pregnant, and the punishment will be limited to 30 days for those who are developmentally disabled, the court filing says.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />The agreement imposes “sentencing guidelines” for all prisoners, specifying the length of punishment allowed for different infractions and, for the first time in all cases, a maximum length that such sentences may run, the civil liberties group said. No such guidelines exist, except in cases involving certain violent and drug-related offenses.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">U.S. SENATE</span></u></b></div>
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">On February 25, 2014, USA Today published the following encouraging news: </b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Leaders of a Senate panel called on federal and state prison authorities Tuesday to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles, pregnant women and the mentally ill as part of a national reassessment of the harshest method of incarceration. Citing the country's extensive use of solitary confinement since the 1980s, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said the extreme conditions contribute to the gradual deterioration of prisoners' mental health.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">UNITED NATIONS</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>On October 18, 2011, a United Nations expert on torture </b>called on all countries to ban the solitary confinement of prisoners except in very exceptional circumstances and for as short a time as possible, with an absolute prohibition in the case of juveniles and people with mental disabilities.<br /><br />“Segregation, isolation, separation, cellular, lockdown, Supermax, the hole, Secure Housing Unit … whatever the name, solitary confinement should be banned by States as a punishment or extortion technique,” UN Special Rapporteur on torture Juan E. Méndez told the General Assembly’s third committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural affairs, saying the practice could amount to torture.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Solitary confinement is a harsh measure which is contrary to rehabilitation, the aim of the penitentiary system,” he stressed in presenting his first interim report on the practice, calling it global in nature and subject to widespread abuse.<br /><br /><b>Solitary confinement causes and worsens mental illness and is an extreme punishment even for inmates with sound minds. </b>Solitary confinement has caused much controversy in recent years. Prisoners in numerous correctional institutions united and staged hunger and labor strikes to protest solitary confinement and other harsh practices that are objectionable from a human rights standpoint. Some American inmates have been interned in tiny solitary cells for decades, including people who are generally considered to be political prisoners, like the Angola 3 in Louisiana.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Dr. Mustafa Ansari, an International Human Rights Attorney </b>who was featured on the Human Rights for Prisoners March broadcast in February 2014, said: "The United States signed the Convention on Torture and Degrading Treatment. The United Nations' Special Rapporteur says that more than 15 days in solitary confinement is illegal. The State has the right to rule; however, the State should rule correctly and release these prisoners. The Human Rights Defenders that we train [at American Institute of Human Rights] will move to have ALL of political prisoners removed from solitary confinement and some from prison with compensation for their harm. As the U.N. Special Rapporteur said, 'Indefinite and prolonged solitary confinement in excess of 15 days should be subject to an absolute prohibition.'" </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Excerpts from the article by ThinkProgress dated February 18, 2014: </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Solitary confinement has been called a “<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/10/23/1065081/imprisoned-hiker-us-solitary-confinement-as-bad-as-or-worse-than-in-iran/">living death</a>,” <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/01/07/1407761/federal-court-deems-solitary-confinement-of-mentally-ill-cruel-and-unusual-punishment/">cruel and unusual</a>, and <a href="http://physiciansforhumanrights.org/blog/un-advisor-says-solitary-confinement-in-us-is-torture.html">torture</a>. Studies of the prison practice of placing inmates in a solitary, often concrete windowless cell for 23 hours a day with almost no human contact, have found that the <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/07/12/2290591/five-reasons-to-end-californias-indefinite-solitary-confinement/">psychological impact is dramatic</a> after just a few days.<br /><br />A University of Michigan neuroscientist suggested Friday that the physical impact on the brain could be just as significant if not moreso, and<a href="http://www.aaas.org/news/solitary-confinement-fundamentally-alters-brain-scientists-say"> could “dramatically change the brain</a>” in just a matter of days. Speaking on a panel about solitary confinement, neuroscientist Huda Akil said a number of other studies have documented how each of the factors involved in solitary confinement change the physical shape of the brain. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The lack of physical interaction with the natural world, the lack of social interaction, and the lack of touch and visual stimulation alone are each “by itself is sufficient to dramatically change the brain,” Akil said at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting. She said particular parts of the brain that are subject to extreme stress<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/solitary-confinement-ravages-mind-widespread-002450007.html"> can “actually shrink,”</a> including the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory, spatial orientation, and control of emotions.</span></div>

Congratulations to Mustafa Ansari, international lawyer and dedicated human rights defender with 20 years proven record of accomplishments in legal education, human rights activism, and personnel management. He is Dean of the American Institute of Human Rights, and he is Chief Justice of Indigenous African American Reparations Tribunal. Below is a url carrying our interview with Dr. Mustafa Ansari on our "Human Rights for Prisoners March" Blogtalkradio show, recorded on Monday, February 3.<br />
<div>
<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nnia1/2014/02/04/human-rights-for-prisoners-march">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nnia1/2014/02/04/human-rights-for-prisoners-march</a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Dr. Ansari spoke about CLE classes for attorneys and judges in international human rights law as well as classes and certification for human rights defenders and human rights monitors. Dr. Ansari is committed spreading knowledge about America's human rights treaties and laws (such as EO 13107). Courses are available through Internet access to equip both attorneys and qualified non-attorneys to file complaints directly with the International Court. <br />
<br />
Dr. Ansari and the International Institute of Human Rights are anxious to acquaint more people with human rights laws. He also would like for more attorneys to learn International Law and cite international laws and treaties when defending clients and writing pleadings in civil actions. Many justice quests that may have failed in America's courts should be taken before the International Court. Therefore, Dr. Ansari now produces a weekly radio show on Blogtalkradio, called "Dr. Ansari's Human Rights Reports." The first broadcast was Tuesday, February 11, 2014, at 1pm EST, and can be accessed below:<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) won a legal victory in their milestone lawsuit on behalf of Native Americans. See part of the ACLU's report below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This week, the ACLU won an important battle on the road toward protecting the rights of American Indian children and their parents and tribes. Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken of South Dakota's federal District Court ruled that a lawsuit filed by the ACLU in March of 2013 can go forward, rejecting motions filed by the defendants that sought to have the case dismissed. The suit, brought on behalf of the Oglala and Rosebud Sioux Indian Tribes and a class of Indian parents, aims to ensure that state courts in South Dakota respect the rights granted to Indian parents by the Constitution's Due Process Clause and the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA). The defendants include a state court judge, a county prosecutor, and the director of the South Dakota Department of Social Services.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recognizing that nothing "is more vital to the continued existence and integrity of Indian tribes than their children," ICWA's express purpose is "to protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families." Why did Congress pass this statute? Because a congressional investigation in the mid-1970s revealed some truly shocking statistics: Between 25 and 35 percent of all Indian children nationwide had been removed from their families by various state welfare agencies and courts. In one state, the adoption rate for Indian children was eight times higher than that of non-Indian children. In another, Indian children were 13 times more likely than non-Indian children to be placed in foster care. These alarming numbers were the result of more than a century of failed policy, in which state officials could not or would not respect Indian communities' cultural and social standards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Because of interference, this article is repeated in comments. The comments are prevented from opening on some cellphones. I am America's most censored.) Native American children are frequently removed from their homes and reservations because false charges were levied against men in their households alleging sexual assaults. This justice advocate recently met two families who claim their men were falsely charged, prosecuted in corrupt courts, and wrongly convicted for sex crimes against children that never happened. The cases are <u>USA vs. Juan Rojas</u> and the USA vs. Yanktown4 (the Rouse family). Advocates for these five men allege misconduct by child welfare services, U.S. attorneys, expert witnesses, and some of their own tribal members to channel indigenous men into prison.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Janice Howe reports, "Juan Rojas is a 37-year-old enrolled member of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe who is currently serving two life sentences for sexual abusing his ex-girlfriend's two daughters. The girls were actually still virgins when examined by the doctor. The expert witness testified that the rape kits were inconclusive due to the fact that hymens grow back together all the time! The ex-girlfriend has a history of blaming men for sexually molesting her daughters whenever a boyfriend breaks up with her. She made these same false allegations against her ex-husband, but her daughters recanted their false statements against their father during his trial. Her daughters were going to recant their testimony against Juan Rojas, also. But due to prosecutoral misconduct, they did not. When their grandmother died, the U.S. Prosecutor, Mikal Hanson, went to the funeral told them that if they did recant their testimony against Rojas, their younger brother and sister would be taken away.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before falsely accusing Juan Rojas of child molestation, the ex-girlfriend had accused Juan of raping her in state court, and the charges were dropped. Then the feds ended up prosecuting him in federal court for the sexual abuse of her daughters. He was wrongly convicted in a corrupt court process. Please help Juan Rojas regain his freedom."

</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The National Center for Reason and Justice, which has mounted successful campaigns to exonerate those falsely accused of sex crimes against children, has taken on the cases of four Yankton Sioux men. Brothers Jesse and Desmond Rouse and their cousins Garfield Feather and Russell Hubbeling were convicted in federal court in 1994 of abusing five nieces who were aged 20 months to 7 years at the time. A fifth co-defendant was acquitted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">BURDEN OF PROOF -- </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">According to Chatelle, the cases of Feather, Hubbeling, and the Rouse brothers display patterns NCRJ has seen before, including the burden of proof shifting -- improperly -- to the defendants. "They should be presumed innocent unless they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Chatelle said. "Instead, they are presumed guilty and must prove themselves innocent, which is far more difficult." Read the entire article at the url above.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">____</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The Rouse men remain behind bars. The defendants could have taken a plea deal and served a two-year sentence, but the men said they would prefer to die behind bars than to falsely claim molesting dear children in their family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><b>Removing children from their families is traumatic. </b>The ACLU article states that in some areas, Native American parents must wait an agonizing 60 to 90 days before they can learn why their children were removed, which violates the Due Process Clause and ICWA. <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The Rouse children were abducted by police and taken to a farm house to live among strangers without any explanation to their parents as to why the eleven children were taken. One of the children with whom I spoke (she is now an adult) said the authorities promised the Rouse children that if they lied on their relatives, they would be returned home, but they never were. I was told that the Rouse children have since recanted their false statements, and some took lie detector tests to prove their supposed molestation never happened. But the system is making prison profits off their relatives and refuses to acknowledge the men's innocence.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The congressional investigation showed that up to 35 percent of all Native American children had been removed from their families.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">An attorney in the Rouse case reportedly said about his clients' wrongful conviction, "THEY DESERVE IT FOR NOT CONVERTING TO CHRISTIANITY." As a Christian, I find that particularly offensive.</span><br />
