UN to USA: Come Clean on Deaths in Custody

Regarding the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and wrongful deaths of other inmates, the United Nations and I recommend that America take the following steps: STOP avoiding accountability for wrongful deaths in custody, world police. "All we ask America is 'Be TRUE to what you said on paper'" (MLK). Honor the U.S. Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and International Law.

DEATHS IN CUSTODY
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).

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 (NOT lawyer fraud through The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, surveillance, financial persecution, 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).

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.

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:

Repeat of Paragraph 1 in this article:
Regarding the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and other inmates, the United Nations and I recommend that America take the following steps: STOP avoiding accountability for wrongful deaths in custody, world police. "All we ask America is 'Be TRUE to what you said on paper'" (MLK). Honor the U.S. Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and International Law.

Cooking Up a Small Settlement for Jerome Murdough, Rikers Island Victim


SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED regarding a homeless Marine Corps veteran who was baked to death in a Rikers Island solitary jail cell - $2.25m. I told you The Cochran Firm frauds would never take the wrongful death of Jerome Murdough case before a jury. Lawyers demanded $25m but settled for less than 10 percent of the demand - then the family's attorney congratulated the defendants for being "willing" to pay that much.

Attorney Derek Sells, who represented the family, said the agreement was “a sign that the administration is willing to work with people mistreated by city agencies and officials.”

Murdough's family members were not told the veteran was dead by any jail or city officials - they found out from an AP reporter who called them for a statement WEEKS LATER. Murdough's death would probably have been covered-up like Larry Neal's is had it not been revealed by AP. This was likely to avoid a wrongful death lawsuit. Luckily for defendants, Murdough's family contracted The Cochran Firm frauds as their wrongful death attorneys. Happy Veterans Day.

A white man who was traumatized by solitary confinement (not baked to death) was awarded a $15.5 million settlement. During the time Stephen Slevin, 58, spent in solitary confinement at Doña Ana County Detention Center, his mental and physical health deteriorated so severely that he spent hours on end rocking back and forth beneath a blanket, his attorney told the Los Angeles Times. "Slevin even wiggled a tooth loose so he could yank it out," Matt Coyte said. Compare Slevin's settlement to Murdough's.

Next, we wait to see what settlement, if any, is reached for the wrongful deaths of Chavis Carter and Walmart shopper, John Crawford. Their black families also contracted with The Cochran Firm, because they did not know any better.

SOMEBODY in media should warn my people about The Cochran Firm frauds.
