Mary Neal's Sharebook 

STAND UP FOR SOMETHING, OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING.

I lifted this graphic reminder of that truth from our newest member to Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill group.  

To paraphrase what Dorothea Dix, our forerunner, said:

"There is so much wrong in the world, I felt
  there must be something for me to do."

 

Thank you for coming to stand with me and help
 decriminalize mental illness in America.
 
Together, yes we can!

JAIL IS THE LAST THING MENTAL
  PATIENTS NEED ... AND TOO OFTEN, JAIL IS THE
  LAST THING THEY EXPERIENCE. Please join us in
  our quest to decriminalize mental illness in America.
No one should be punished for having a disability.

SOMETIMES YOUR CHILD could be with the wrong crowd.  His friends could do things and he be charged for crimes along with them.  This probably happened to Jeff Wood, due for execution on Aug. 21 in Texas for.  If executed, Jeff will be the first person killed in ten (10) years for committing a murder when he was not even present at the scene when it happened!  Do you want to help save Jeff?  Jeff also has mental and learning disabilities, dating back to his childhood, that allowed him to be taken advantage of not only by the shooter, but by the prosecution in this case as well.

Here is the petition web address:

Please pass this to everyone you know.

Jeff Wood is waiting to die on Texas Death Row with an execution date of August 21, 2008.  Jeff was charged under the Law of Parties, and was not the shooter in this crime, nor was he even in the building when the shooting took place.  Furthermore, there was no way Jeff could anticipate that a murder would occur. 

The actual shooter in this case, Daniel Reneau, has already been executed by the state of Texas.

In addition to the fact that Jeff did not commit or plan the murder, there were several errors made at Jeff's trial, and as a direct result of these errors Jeff did not receive the fair trial he was entitled to.

For more information about Jeff's case, check out his website:
