Publicizing For Support - Nancy Lockhart

 

If you or someone you know has been wrongfully convicted and you want to seek public support to help overturn the conviction, here are some steps you can take:

1. Gather evidence: Collect all the evidence related to the case, including police reports, court documents, witness statements, and any other relevant information that can help prove your innocence.

2. Develop a media strategy: Create a plan on how you will communicate your story to the public. This can include reaching out to journalists, creating social media campaigns, or starting a blog or website to document your journey.

3. Contact advocacy organizations: Reach out to organizations that support individuals who have been wrongfully convicted, such as the Innocence Project, which provides legal and investigative services to people who claim to be innocent.

4. Reach out to politicians: Contact your local representatives and lawmakers and ask for their support in your case. You can also contact the governor or attorney general to ask for a review of your case.

5. Organize a rally or demonstration: Organize a rally or demonstration to bring attention to your case. This can be a powerful way to get media coverage and support from the public.

6. Use social media: Use social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to share your story and build a following. You can also use hashtags to make your message more visible.

7. Engage with the public: Be open and willing to speak with the public about your case. This can help build support and raise awareness.

Remember that it's important to approach the situation in a strategic and professional manner, and to work with experienced advocates and attorneys who can help guide you through the process. It can also be a long and difficult journey, so it's important to take care of yourself and seek support from friends and family as well.

What To Do If You Have Been Wrongfully Convicted

 If you have been wrongfully convicted, the first thing you should do is to seek legal assistance from an experienced criminal defense attorney or a wrongful conviction organization. A wrongful conviction can be a complex legal matter, and it is important to have someone who understands the legal system and can advocate for your individual's rights.

Some potential steps to be taken include:

1. Contacting a legal aid organization or public defender if they cannot afford an attorney.

2. Requesting a review of their case by a higher court or an appellate court.

3. Gathering evidence that could help exonerate them. This could include witness statements, forensic evidence, or other information that was not presented at trial.

4. Requesting a retrial or filing a motion for a new trial.

5. Requesting a pardon or clemency from the governor or other executive authority.

6. Contacting a wrongful conviction organization that can provide support and guidance in navigating the legal system and advocating for their rights.

It is important for the wrongfully convicted person to act quickly and take these steps as soon as possible, as the legal process can be lengthy and time-sensitive.

Wrongful Convictions

 The criminal justice system is designed to protect society by punishing those who have broken the law. However, this system is far from perfect, and wrongful convictions are an unfortunate consequence of its imperfections. A wrongful conviction occurs when an innocent person is found guilty of a crime they did not commit. In this blog post, we will explore the causes and consequences of wrongful convictions, as well as some of the steps that can be taken to prevent them.

Causes of Wrongful Convictions:

There are a variety of reasons why innocent people may be convicted of crimes. Some of the most common causes include:

1. False Confessions: Sometimes, innocent people may falsely confess to a crime they did not commit, often as a result of pressure from law enforcement or due to mental health issues.

2. Eyewitness Misidentification: Eyewitnesses can sometimes identify the wrong person, particularly if they are under stress or if the perpetrator and the innocent person look similar.

3. Inadequate Defense: Sometimes, an innocent person may be convicted due to inadequate representation by their defense attorney. They may not have the necessary resources to mount an effective defense, or may not have access to critical evidence that could prove their innocence.

4. Police Misconduct: Unfortunately, police misconduct can lead to wrongful convictions. This may include fabricating evidence, coercing witnesses, or using excessive force.

Consequences of Wrongful Convictions:

The consequences of wrongful convictions can be devastating for those who are falsely accused and their families. In addition to losing their freedom, the wrongly convicted may experience social isolation, stigma, and difficulty finding employment or housing. They may also face financial ruin due to legal fees and the loss of income while incarcerated. The impact of wrongful convictions is not limited to the individual, as it can also erode public trust in the justice system and lead to wrongful convictions of others.

Preventing Wrongful Convictions:

There are several steps that can be taken to prevent wrongful convictions, including:

1. Improved Police Training: Police officers can receive training on how to avoid bias in their investigations, how to conduct proper interrogations, and how to avoid coercing false confessions.

2. Better Forensic Science: Advances in forensic science can help ensure that evidence is accurately collected and analyzed. This can help prevent wrongful convictions based on faulty evidence.

3. Enhanced Defense Representation: Providing adequate funding and resources to defense attorneys can help ensure that the innocent are properly represented in court.

4. Reforms to the Criminal Justice System: Changes to the criminal justice system, such as reforms to sentencing guidelines, can help reduce the likelihood of wrongful convictions.

Conclusion:

Wrongful convictions are a tragic consequence of the imperfections of the criminal justice system. The causes of wrongful convictions are numerous, and they can have devastating consequences for those who are falsely accused. However, there are steps that can be taken to prevent wrongful convictions, including improved police training, better forensic science, enhanced defense representation, and reforms to the criminal justice system. By taking these steps, we can work towards a more just and equitable society.

  Disabled Alabama Department of Corrections Inmate In Need of Urgent Care

I am writing to express urgency regarding the need to provide AL DOC disabled inmate with quality healthcare.

 Mr. Kastellio Demarcus Vaughan – AIS#: 00263279 is gravely ill and in need of quality healthcare in a hospital outside of the Alabama Department of Corrections. Mr. Vaughn is a disabled inmate.  He cannot walk, he’s using a wheelchair, and is unable to carry out activities of daily living.  He currently wears diapers as undergarments and is afraid of losing his legs and his life. He is emaciated and malnourished. His sister, Kassie Vaughan has also stated he vomited waste.

Kastellio told Ms. Kassie Vaughan that his feet are the size of footballs, and the back of his legs and the top of his feet are hard and discolored. The hole in his chest is still there, and he thinks it is infected.

Alabama Department of Corrections states Mr. Vaughan signed a waiver to have his medical records released. The question is, was he competent to sign the waiver, if he indeed signed it, and as sick as he is, did he know what he was signing?

Alabama Department of Corrections also said that, “… Vaughan was admitted to Jackson Hospital in Montgomery on August 5 for a bowel obstruction. He then underwent surgery. Following the surgery, AL DOC states Vaughan opted to be discharged Against Medical Advice on August 10.” Alabama News Network Article

If Mr. Vaughan was given quality medical care, certainly he was given prescribed pain medication. If so, Mr. Vaughan was not able to make a competent discharge decision under the influence of prescribed painkillers.

Mr. Vaughan’s Civil Rights are being violated as a disabled human being. He was movedhoused at Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore County, Alabama. Please do not allow him to waste away.

 

Dash Cam Video Shows Eugene Lewis was not beaten by Highway Patrolman in McComb, Mississippi

In this case, the State Trooper was NOT in the wrong. Dash cam video proves Eugene Lewis was not beaten but, faked a seizure and most definitely resisted arrest.

"On Aug. 5, Mississippi Highway Patrol State Trooper Hayden Falvey made a traffic stop on Delaware Avenue in McComb on a vehicle traveling at high speeds.

According to DPS, Falvey chased Lewis, stopping him on Schmidt Road. While approaching Lewis’ vehicle, Falvey smelled a strong aroma of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle, and when he got to the vehicle, he noticed Lewis’ eyes were bloodshot and had a strong odor of burnt marijuana on his breath. It was determined at the time that Lewis’ driver’s license was suspended and that he was driving without insurance.

Lewis admitted to Falvey that there may have been a joint, or “roach,” in his vehicle [0:55], as well as admitted to smoking marijuana about 45 minutes to an hour before the traffic stop [1:10].

Falvey would place Lewis in handcuffs after developing probable cause that Lewis was driving his vehicle under the influence and may have illegal narcotics, and he began a search of the vehicle [2:10]."
