Michael Anthony Kerr, NC Murder Victim


Dog Justice for Mentally Ill blog will feature the abuse or murder of a mentally ill American every week to highlight these crimes against humanity. This week's featured murder victim is Michael Anthony Kerr.

Michael Anthony Kerr, Inmate With Schizophrenia, Died Of Thirst After 35 Days Of Solitary. An autopsy released earlier this week says the 54-year-old inmate, who had schizophrenia, died of dehydration. The report also said he was receiving no treatment for the symptoms of his mental illness.

A written policy at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety allows prison staff to respond to the "misuse of plumbing facilities" by turning off the water to an inmate's sink and toilet. State prison officials did not respond Friday to questions about whether water to Kerr's cell was cut off in the days before his death. Huffington Post carried the report: 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/26/michael-anthony-kerr-inmate-died-thirst_n_5890998.html

A fellow inmate kept a record of the neglect and abuse Kerr suffered. You can read his account about Kerr's final six days, which Kerr spent handcuffed, not eating or drinking.

Micheal Kerr's photo is not available through NC inmate search. See the following information:

Kerr was listed as a "habitual felon," because the system responded to his schizophrenia by penalizing rather than treating him. Condolences to his family and friends. They killed my brother, too.

Some positive news came from Los Angeles this week: Treatment Advocacy Center reported that Los Angeles is to offer treatment instead of jail for mentally ill offenders. Los Angeles County Jail is said to be the nation's largest "mental hospital." To replace punishment with treatment in Los Angeles means prison investors are losing their hold. 

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) continues to prepare to take up to 200 cases before the United Nations International Court in 2015. The cases document abuses against the human rights of Americans with mental disabilities and innocent people (their victims) who were brutalized or killed because the USA deliberately withholds psychiatric treatment to await crimes that will excuse imprisonment and enrich prison investors. Over half of America's prisoners are mentally disabled people who deserve treatment, not incarceration with sadists as their jailers.

Hattie Neal's Tears for Justice

Hear my mother, Hattie Neal, 91, asked the government to please tell her how Larry Neal was murdered. She made this request during the last minutes of her interview on Human Rights Demand channel at Blogtalkradio on September 14, 2014.
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/09/14/human-rights-for-prisoners-march-w-hattie-neal-91-mom-of-larry-neal-deceased

Hattie Neal is considered too black for justice in the USA. Her son, Larry, was considered "useless life," because he was #mentallyill plus an African American - the most discriminated against people on the planet. We have asked for open disclosure for eleven years. We were once hopeful about improved justice, but we were disappointed like many Americans are. There is NO CHANGE. Larry Neal was secretly arrested for 18 days in Memphis Shelby County Jail and murdered on August 1, 2003. His murder precipitated one of The Cochran Firm frauds against African Americans. Hattie Neal's tears are dried on the contract for legal services, which you can to see at the Documents Tab at the website
http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com/main.html . I founded Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") because of Hattie Neal's tears and the tears of many other mothers. The organization will take the USA before the United Nations International Court in 2015. Join us at "AIMI-Human Rights" http://AIMI-HumanRights.blogspot.com .


TALKING HELPS! There was a time when people did not speak publicly about being victims of domestic violence, pedophilia, and sex abuse in the workplace. Then a few brave victims came forward on daytime television shows and broke the silence about such abuses. As people discussed their victimization, public awareness increased, which resulted in better community support and stronger laws against abusers. Until domestic violence and sex abuse came out of the closet, there were very few shelters for battered women and children, few protections for workers, and abusers usually escaped prosecution. That has changed. 

Mentally challenged people and their families must also come out of the closet. We discuss mental illness and incarceration to eliminate the stigma attached to people who have mental diseases, drug or alcohol addictions, and criminal convictions that resulted from their conditions. We must advocate for timely access to inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services and subsistence assistance for persons whose disabilities place them at risk for malnutrition and homelessness. As we expose police brutality and prisoner abuses, the likely result will be better training for police and corrections officers and increased accountability for abuses.

Keep talking about mental health care and drug/alcohol treatment. Talking gives Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill. Let's talk every Wednesday night on BlogTalkRadio at 9pm PDT at (818)572.2947, and please share our tapes. http://blogtalkradio.com/nnia1

Read about people who defied the stigma and asked me to publish articles about their situations to get YOUR attention on their victimization at "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" http://DogJusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/

Terrell Scott's Torture Continues in Pennsylvania


Terrell Scott is pictured top, left in the collage above. Scott is a mentally ill black man who has been interned for over five years in Pennsylvania while denied his Sixth Amendment right to a trial. All the other mentally ill Americans in the photo were killed by law officers. Brian Claunch was a double amputee who was shot to death while sitting in his wheelchair in a Texas care home, "armed" with a ballpoint ink pen. Kelly Thomas was a homeless mentally ill man who was beaten to death by six Fullerton, California law officers. Larry Neal was secretly arrested (kidnapped) and interned in Memphis Shelby County Jail Scott for 18 days before being murdered on August 1, 2003, by undisclosed means. The government still refuses to reveal to his family how Larry was killed while police falsely, repeatedly denied having the disabled American in custody. Terrell Scott was incarcerated 4.5 years in torturous conditions before he finally agreed to sign a plea bargain after learning about two other mentally ill black men in Mississippi who had been illegally interned without trials nearly twice as long as he had been. 

Because this article is censored by terrorists and stalkers, it is repeated in three comments below. Please read them to ensure that you get the full understanding about Terrell Scott, a victimized mentally ill black man in America who deserves and needs help. Thank you.

Scott's own attorney, Phil Lauer, worked against Scott's right to a fair, public, speedy trial (see court documents proving this at Reference No. 1, below). Scott was released from the Pennsylvania prison for two months after signing the plea bargain, then the State rearrested him on new false charges. Scott's arrest occurred at a mental hospital where he was an inpatient, because Judge Zito said that "prison is the best place for mentally ill people like him." 

Scott was again denied any trial on the new charges the State levied against him. This time, Scott was denied even knowing what the new charges were. That is the "liberty and justice for all" that black men receive in the USA, especially those who are mentally ill. Black people with mental illness in the USA are treated like "useless life," except for prison profiteering. Prison profiteers earn more by incarcerating mentally ill people, and the U.S. Justice Department generally refuses to protect the rights of disabled Americans and institutionalized persons, especially African Americans. Below is an update by Terrell Scott's mother. Holly Alston wrote:

My forever tears for my son Free Terrell Scott again have taken over. My heart is so broken. My phone call with Terrell this past Monday was only about five minutes. Terrell sounded robotic, plus a staff member from Graterford State Prison was standing over him. But I received a letter from Terrell today which made me so upset.

Terrell has only been able to take two showers since he's been transferred to Graterford State Prison, he wasn't given any toiletries, he's lost over 20 lbs. They make him wear a "Turtle Suit," which is just a heavy green smock with Velcro tabs on it. The issue with this is that it's too small, and Terrell is getting yelled at because he can't keep it closed. Unfortunately, Terrell is being exposed practically nude. He has no privacy. The camera is on him 24 hours a day, and his cell is infested with mice and spiders.

Terrell wrote, "Mama, that's only the stuff I can tell you; if I told you everything . . . I wouldn't want you to have another heart attack."

I have no words. I can't stop crying knowing that my son continues to be tortured.

*******
Terrell Scott and his family are Claimants in "AIMI vs. USA," an action that Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill will file in International Court in 2015. Scott is an innocent man who was falsely accused and has been interned for years without trial, since the prosecution simply had no case to present to a court. Now Scott's torture continues, and his family suffers. Holly Alston is in her early 40's, but she had a heart attack this spring from the stress of trying to extricate her gentle, disabled son from ruthless prison investors in Pennsylvania, and Scott's grandfather had heart surgery. The entire family suffers from legal abuse syndrome. 

Prison profiteering is a wicked enterprise, like all human trafficking is; it is America's return to slavery.

6. Pennsylvania sued for details on secret execution cocktail 

Excerpt: The American Civil Liberties Union, along with four newspapers, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania seeking to uncover the source of the drugs used in its lethal injection procedures. As Pennsylvania prepares to execute its first inmate in 15 years, the ACLU, the Guardian, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the Philadelphia City Paper are arguing that the state’s refusal to reveal where it purchases its drugs is illegal. [Knowing Pennsylvania, the execution drugs are probably made of Drano and gasoline.]


Pennsylvania's prison profiteering, child abuse, and judicial corruption are all evidenced in Terrell Scott's case, which will go before the International Court in 2015 in "AIMI vs. USA." Please pray for Scott and his family. If you can offer immediate assistance to Holly Alston, please contact her at the email address: hollyhollabacka@aol.com  

If you are or have a relative who is/was victimized in the legal system (denied psychiatric or drug/alcohol treatment in order to await a crime to excuse incarceration), please join the Claimants to "AIMI vs. USA." If you were robbed, raped, burglarized, or had a relative who was killed by an untreated mentally ill person or drug/alcohol addict, please also join the Claimants.

Drunk Tank Torture in Alabama Prison

A mother wrote about unsanitary conditions:

My son was placed in an area referred to by institution personnel as a "drunk tank" for more than one year. This section of the facility has no toilet, running water, or bedding. He had to use a drain in the floor to urinate and defecate. This area is equipped with a camera, and each time my son had to relieve himself, a guard's voice was heard over the intercom making unnecessary and crude comments. The staff is required to flush the drain in the floor of his cell from the outside, which is rarely done. Due to the lack of the personnel's adherence to responsibilities, the floor's drain became clogged on numerous occasions. Alabama's high humidity in the summer, and the lack of proper disinfecting, created a strong ammonia odor and an infestation of bugs within the cell. My son had numerous bug bites, and cleaning supplies were denied to him by staff, along with drinking water and requests to shower. This situation went on for extended periods of time. As a simple request for toilet tissue was being denied, so that my son could not clean himself for weeks at a time, I went to the facility with a large amount of toilet tissue which I attempted to donate to the institution. My donation was rejected, and I was told to take the tissue back home. It was after this incident that my son received a roll of toilet tissue.

I will share more of these horrendous conditions that our loved ones are exposed to here in the Alabama Facilities of Horrors, from my own personal experience, not hearsay.

Psychiatric Crisis: Sergio Robles Killed a Police Officer

Pictured above is Sergio Robles, a Texas inmate who was deprived of his psychiatric meds for 14 days while incarcerated on a DUI charge. Sergio was beaten before being released and taken to the hospital for medical help. He then killed a police officer who was standing in his mother's doorway pointing a gun in Sergio's direction about 13 hours after Sergio was released from jail in a psychiatric crisis. He has been incarcerated for roughly 5 years for the shooting and was sentenced to 40 years on a plea deal. Sergio suffers from paranoid schizophrenia that is not perceptible when he is on his medication, but the jail refused to dispense his meds during his DUI arrest. That is why the police officer is dead. Both Sergio's family and the police officer's family qualify to be complainants in AIMI vs. USA. Sergio's family already joined as Claimants for this action in International Court. Visit our blog for the lawsuit at "AIMI - Human Rights" http://aimi-humanrights.blogspot.com/

Sergio had a history that included police brutality because of his mental illness. The video below captured a police beating that occurred when Sergio was only 21 and had just learned that his father died. He went into a psychiatric crisis and was walking down the middle of the street. Police beat him viciously and arrested him. See YouTube video  http://youtu.be/dSUxzB3G1vw . Sergio mother had to pay $1,500 for Sergio's bond, because he was charged with disorderly conduct.



DESCRIPTION: Officer Eric Bruss from the Santa Fe Police Department is caught on tape here beating an unarmed Hispanic man. Eric Bruss has been in the news various times for his conduct as a police officer. This Hispanic man was given $125,000 for taking the beating in this video.

Many people complain about FOX broadcasts, but I find FOX to be a reliable source of information about abuses to the mentally ill and minorities in America. Videos usually become unavailable after I feature them in "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog. Hopefully, this FOX video will not disappear.

The victim's cousin wrote: "This is my cousin Sergio Robles. He is doing time in prison right now for accidentally shooting an officer in the face and killing him, but my cousin was scared for his life and has had plenty of encounters with the police. This video shows two officers beating my cousin almost to death, and he wasn't even resisting. if you know people who have been in situations like this, please share my cousin's story. He wasn't doing anything wrong; he is a wonderful person inside and out. Please share the story. Thank you and God bless everyone, and God bless my Aunt Olga for being a strong, wonderful mother for her son. I love you, Aunt Olga." 

Hear what happened during Sergio's fatal encounter with police, which happened just hours after Sergio's release from Harris County Jail in psychiatric crisis and physical pain from a police beatdown he reportedly received before jail release. His family spoke about Officer Hamilton's last moments on HUMAN RIGHTS DEMAND broadcasts, as they joined Claimants of "AIMI vs. USA," the planned International Court action to be filed in 2015. 
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/08/30/release-the-innocent
HUMAN RIGHTS DEMAND conducted an earlier interview with Olga, Sergio's mother. Hear it: [I must find that Blogtalkradio tape. Prison investors are apparently hiding it.]

Both interviews and Sergio's photo were apparently surreptitiously removed from the Google+ community for "Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill" at
https://plus.google.com/communities/108448922585036678747


Sergio's family has apparently experienced persecution for being related to a so-called "cop killer," and Sergio continues to report abuse from behind prison walls. He is in a facility far away from his family, which strains their ability to visit him. As far as the family knows, no action was taken against jailers for refusing to give Sergio his meds while incarcerated for two weeks, and no action was taken against Academy Sporting Goods' owners for selling Sergio the gun, a man with a history of severe mental illness. The fact that Academy Sporting Goods sold Sergio a gun and police withheld the psychiatric patient's meds seem to be violations of Sergio's human rights, his family's human rights, and the rights of Officer Hamilton's survivors. 

After Sergio's violent police encounter in 2006, which is captured on the film above, he remained faithful to his psychiatric treatment program. He was doing well three years later and in barbering school. Sergio was also in love and had a 9-month-old son. Sergio turned himself in before taking his barbering test. He wanted to get his two-week sentence for DUI behind him before beginning his new profession. But Sergio's next psychiatric crisis resulted in Officer Hamilton's death and a 40-year prison sentence. Life may never return to normal for anyone who loved Sergio or the police officer who died. 

Olga Garcia-Verastegui reports that 19 jail inmates contacted the media when Sergio was arrested for the murder of Officer Hamilton. They told what they knew about Sergio's state of mind the day he was released from Harris County Jail -- the day before Officer Hamilton was killed. It was reported that when Sergio was booked into Harris County Jail, none of the other inmates could even tell that he had mental illness. Sergio had been loyal to his psychiatric treatment and faithfully took his medication for years to avoid having a psychiatric crisis like the one on the news video. But the jail refused to give Sergio his medication while he was incarceration. After a few days, Sergio felt himself slipping into psychosis. He reportedly begged corrections officers for his psychiatric medications, but they refused.

Inmates reported that on Sergio's last day of incarceration (14 days after his arrest for DUI), Sergio was beaten by police or corrections officers. The beating was reportedly so severe that they took Sergio to the hospital for treatment before releasing him. By the time of Sergio's release, he was in physical pain as well as mental anguish. This time, it backfired on police. This time, they lost one of their own.

Sergio Robles was mentally ill, which put him at great risk for police brutality or even wrongful death. His understandable fear of police officers after the violence captured on the FOX News video above plus deprivation of his psychiatric medications for two weeks and another police beating (according to inmates' reports) caused Sergio to kill Officer Hamilton. Although Olga Garcia-Verastegui has her son's power of attorney, Sergio was not allowed to have a trial as his mother wished. Sergio, a chronic mental patient, was induced to sign a plea bargain for 40 years incarceration, when his family felt strongly that he should have stood trial, pleading "not guilty for reason of insanity." This happens regularly to many mentally ill offenders in America. Sergio was kept for two years in jail, surrounded by Officer Hamilton's coworkers, before agreeing to plea bargain.

AIMI vs. USA Phone Conference Sept. 13, 2014


Today, stalkers prevented "AIMI vs. USA" Claimants' access to the conference at the FreeConferenceCall.com. The company gave us 805-360-1075 as a backup number for when our issued conference phone number is prohibited from working properly in the future. We will also see if the U.N. can help us have a secure line to communicate about this International Court action. Surely there must be some help available for people to communicate who live in repressive regimes.

Please use the comment field of any article in "AIMI-HumanRights" blog at 
http://aimi-humanrights.blogspot.com/ or Dog Justice for Mentally Ill blog at
http://DogJusticeforHumanRights.blogspot.com/ . Leave your email address, and I will get in touch with you. Regardless of interference communicating, this matter will go to the International Court in 2015. Mentally ill people and drug/alcohol addicts deserve treatment, not torturous incarceration in long-term solitary confinement, denied visits and phone calls with loved ones for years. We, the families of the mentally ill, will demand restitution for police brutality, prisoner torture, and wrongful deaths in the United Nations and request that body to demand change in the USA.

We were, however, on BlogTalkRadio at (347)857-3293 today, where static was interjected over our voices from time to time. Listen to the tape
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/09/13/aimi-vs-usa-claimants-conference

Your relatives and friends are worth a great deal of money to prison investors in government, and that is why they fear "AIMI vs. USA." Another reason is that most AIMI Claimants reveal crimes against humanity that happened or are still happening to their close relatives, including wrongful deaths and prisoner torture (not unlike the torture that was inflicted on War on Terror detainees). These revelations are therefore censored. Thank you for participating. You can join the claimants by emailing MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com, or phone (678)531.0262 or (571)335-1741.

Our next phone conferences are scheduled for the first Saturday and first Sunday in October 2014. I will contact persons who I know were prevented from joining the conferences thus far, as well as persons who comment at the articles or send emails saying they want to be a Claimant in "AIMI vs. USA." Thank you.
#humanrights 

Join us the first weekend in October when You can connect with the conference at FreeConferenceCall.com dial-in no. (
605) 562-0020, Meeting ID Code: 992-212-650. If that fails, the backup number is (805)360-1075.

Learn more about this international action to win restitution for Claimants and Change for America. Be aware that the second Claimant class is for people who have been hurt, robbed, or killed by untreated mentally ill people or drug/alcohol addicts who were denied treatment. We all have a vested interest in replacing punishment with treatment.

AIMI helps people without regard to religion, race, national origin, wealth or health status, or any other divisive separations. Like Jesus, we are "no respecters of persons."

At least 1.25 million mentally ill prisoners in America and over ten million family members and human rights advocates thank you. Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") works to decriminalize mental illness in the United States in these seven ways: 

(i)  We would like to replace criminal prosecution and prison sentences with timely, accessible treatment in psychiatric hospitals or community treatment facilities under assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs, offering subsistence assistance and mandating continuous treatment after prison or hospital release. 

(ii)  Medicaid insurance should be resumed for inpatient psychiatric treatment. When Medicaid was withdrawn for psychiatric treatment in the 1960's and 1970's, hospitals closed across the nation. Some well-populated areas have fewer than one bed available in a psychiatric hospital or homeless shelter for millions of people.

(iii)  We advocate for all police and corrections officers to receive crisis intervention team (CIT) training in order to reduce the brutality and deaths that occur during lunacy arrests. 

(iv)  AIMI recommends that HIPPA laws be relaxed to enable families to know about their loved ones' treatment (or mistreatment), and become better advocates for their relatives.

The four goals above are covered to a limited degree in a U.S. congressional bill by Rep. Tim Murphy, a psychologist who became a congressman from Pennsylvania. It is called H.R.3717 - the "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." Everyone who desires to give Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill should urge their congresspersons to support H.R.3717. In addition to those four goals, AIMI puts forth three more more necessary changes:

(v)  We want police officers and prison guards who disregard their training and overuse force to be terminated and barred from taking other government positions, prosecuted, and incarcerated. Accountability for abusers will save lives. 

(vi)  AIMI would like for families to have better support from their communities. We know that people care about others who are undergoing hardships, improving community safety, reducing prison overcrowding and America's prison budget, which is over $90 billion annually. But voters cannot care about conditions they do not know about. AIMI therefore asks media companies to do more to expose health discrimination, comparing society's reaction to mental health crises to physical health crises. Brains are organs like hearts and kidneys. It is wrong to prosecute and imprison people for having sick brains, especially with the high rate of success among people who are in AOT programs. AOT programs reduce homelessness, arrests, incarceration, and hospitalization by over 85 percent among Kendra's Law program participants in New York. Like any other chronic disease, mental illness responds to TREATMENT.

(vii)  "AIMI vs. USA" is a planned International Court action to win restitution for people who have been harmed by America's response to mental illness. Everyone deserves treatment for health problem, and nobody should be punished for being sick or disabled. See the next article in this blog entitled "AIMI vs. USA in International Court." In addition to seeking damages for two classes of affected parties, AIMI will make recommendations to the International Court to enforce the six changes listed above.

Mentally ill people and drug/alcohol addicts have suffered much abuse in America. Many people have been subjected to brutal lunacy arrests and incarceration during which they incurred avoidable injuries and deaths. Mentally ill people and drug/alcohol addicts are more likely than others to experience denial of treatment, long-term homelessness, and become entangled in the legal system. Mentally ill people are ordinarily overly charged and overly sentenced in American courts for offenses caused by their common, treatable conditions. 

The sentences of mentally ill inmates are frequently lengthened by adding new offenses that happen behind bars, because incarcerating people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and other serious mental illnesses is not rehabilitative. Imprisonment does not "cure" drug/alcohol dependencies or mental dysfunctions; therefore, behavior caused by untreated conditions usually continues in jails and prisons. Long-term solitary confinement, a common punishment, worsens their brain dysfunctions. No group of Americans should be denied equal opportunities for treatment and equal protection under the law in order to enrich prison investors in government.

AIMI recognizes that victims or their survivors should be compensated by the USA for deliberately withholding mental health treatment and allowing abuses of power that cause injuries and deaths of people with serious mental illnesses and drug/alcohol addictions. "AIMI vs. USA" will be filed in 2015. You or someone you care about may have experienced pain, suffering and loss (even deaths) caused by illegal discrimination against Americans with mental disabilities. If so, please join the class of 100 victims who suffer wrongs because of untreated mental illness, or the class of 100 innocent people who became their victims - people who were assaulted, robbed, raped, or killed by sick people who should have been in treatment as inpatients or outpatients.

We hope you "like" AIMI. Mary Neal has advocated for the mentally ill for ten years and founded AIMI in 2008 at Care2. Thousands of emails and articles and radio shows later, we are gratified to see growing awareness about violations against people with mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions and avoidable violence that sick people often experience and sometimes do when treatment is denied. THANK YOU for support during AIMI's six years of operation. Next, AIMI will become an international NGO and take the battle for human rights further. The struggle continues.

It would be illegal to keep a dog in a tight space 23 hours a day and gas or Taser him for barking. It would be illegal to put a dog in deadly restraint for control. That happens to mentally ill people routinely in the nation's correctional facilities. What happened to Larry Neal?

Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Please advocate for your congresspersons to pass H.R.3717 - The "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." Try to elect people who support human rights and justice for all, not prison investors who have a conflict of interest in voting to decriminalize mental illness in the United States of America, an equal opportunity nation.
