Terrell Scott Re-arrested on Indefensible Charges and Other Crimes Against Humanity (17 paragraphs and one video)
MaryLovesJustice Neal
1. Terrell Scott's present imprisonment is the most blatant evidence of mentally ill Americans being victimized for being sick that this advocate has ever encountered. Scott was re-arrested on June 5 for failing to keep appointments with his probation office although he was committed to a mental hospital at the time. His crime is apparently that he never learned astral projection - the ability to appear two places simultaneously. Prison profiteers in the Pennsylvania justice system need a psych evaluation. This article was updated June 21, 2014.
2. In 2009, two veteran judges in Pennsylvania courts were charged with corruption after confessing to accepting $2.6m for railroading children into private juvenile facilities. The same thing is happening to the mentally ill and poor people in Pennsylvania, probably because whereas the judges were charged and sentenced, nothing at all happened to the prison owners. Bribing judges is criminal, but the owners of the private prison facilities who conspired with the judges were spared prosecution, as far as I know.
3. Terrell Scott was arrested off the word of a Caucasian woman who he exposed as being an abusive, negligent mother who enjoyed sex with underage black boys. When he reported her children's abuse to Pennsylvania authorities, Terrell's allegations were thoroughly investigated and found to be true. The children were removed from Crystal's custody. Months later, apparently missing her child support and blaming Terrell, Crystal went to officials and said that Terrell Scott had abused her children. No proof was offered, and Terrell Scott was never allowed to defend himself against the charges in court.
4. Falsely accusing mentally ill people and black youths of crimes that never happened, then denying trial, is America's new prison profiteering game plan. Victims like Terrell Scott are held indefinitely without trials for years in torturous conditions unless and until they agree to sign false confessions and plea bargain. This happens throughout the United States, and it will continue and worsen unless Americans take a stand against the blatant denial of our constitutional right to a fair, public, speedy trial-by-jury as laid out in the Sixth Amendment.
5. Shannon Nyamodi, an innocent black youth, age 20, was detained in Franklin County Jail in torturous solitary confinement for most two years, presumably to help the state avoid prosecuting a white youth who may have done the crime for which Nyamodi was arrested. Nyamodi's own attorney, Mike Klinkosum, helped North Carolina avoid taking his case to trial. For some reason, the North Carolina Department of Corrections suddenly transferred Nyamodi away from Franklin County Jail to another correctional facility last month, which finally relieved Nyamodi of torturous solitary confinement.
6. The first thing that Nyamodi did upon transfer was to fire his corrupt attorney, who had asked for a continuance rather than taking his client's case to trial despite having charged Nyamodi's family a king's ransom for his defense. Nyamodi (who was also apparently denied mail privileges in Franklin County Jail as well as visitors and telephone calls) mailed the termination letter to Klinkosum and filed a copy with the court. Mysteriously, Nyamodi was transferred right back to Franklin County Jail last week, and Klinkosum was able to extract his signature on a plea bargain the same day. The trauma of being sent back to his torture chamber must have robbed Nyamodi of his last resistance, which was the apparent plan.
7. This week, a Florida judge actually interrupted court and engaged in a fist fight with a defense attorney who demanded his client's right to a speedy trial. Many judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are prison investors, but the Florida defendant's case was apparently assigned to an honest public defender who wanted justice for his client, unlike Mike Klinkosum and Terrell Scott's attorney, Phil Lauer.
8. Indefinite detention with trials denied ordinarily happens to black youths like Nyamodi or mentally ill Americans like Terrell Scott, because those defendants are most susceptible to intimidation. Mississippi has two mentally ill black men imprisoned and awaiting trials for seven and eight years. Apparently, the Mississippi inmates were not tortured as effectively as Nyamodi and Scott were.
9. Terrell Scott was beaten so badly while imprisoned that he allegedly lost his hearing in one ear and his eyesight in one eye, and his jaw is misaligned. Terrell was made the cellmate of an HIV-positive inmate whose colostomy bag would overfill with infected urine and blood that spilled onto the floor of their small cell. Terrell had to clean the floor without latex gloves. Terrell was spat upon in his eyes with HIV-infected saliva, then tried to commit suicide because he knew he had been exposed to the HIV virus on top of being indefinitely detained without trial. Terrell was in a coma for a period of time. When Terrell recovered, he was thrown into torturous solitary confinement.
10. Scott withstood unbearable torture during five years of incarceration with trial denied after reporting child abuse that was investigated and found to be happening to Crystal's children. When the court calendared a trial date for Scott, either Phil Lauer, who was Scott's attorney, would ask for a continuance or the prosecutor would claim falsely that Scott was in a mental hospital and unavailable for trial. The prosecutor told this lie although Scott was imprisoned and awaiting his opportunity defend himself before a jury of his peers.
11. No punitive action happened to either officer of the court for conspiring to prevent due process of law for Terrell Scott, who is now back in prison for the "crime" of missing probation meetings, two while he was either still incarcerated and one while he was committed to a mental hospital being treated for PTSD caused by the Pennsylvania injustice system. A hearing on Terrell's probation violation charge is scheduled for June 27.
12. Incredibly, Terrell's family retained yet another corrupt attorney to represent him. Glennis L. Clark, Esq. did not even bother to show up for his client's first hearing, but what he did do was outrageous. Clark allegedly prepared an Order that Judge Zito signed ordering Terrell into prison for six months as a drug/alcohol offender. Terrell has never used street drugs or alcohol. Neither has he ever failed a drug test or been charged with any violations regarding drunkenness or illegal drugs. Terrell is mentally ill and at risk for abuse from inmates who are drug addicts and detoxing. Terrell Scott was again double-crossed by his own attorney and imprisoned on false charges without any trial.
13. The U.S. justice system refuses to respect the human rights of mentally disabled people. My brother, Larry Neal, was secretly arrested and murdered in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003. His wrongful death was denied any inquest, investigation, and explanation, and his family is denied records about his fatal arrest. This happened although Shelby County Jail had already been sued by the USA for its pattern of abusing inmates' civil rights and placed under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ). When Larry was murdered, the USDOJ helped to cover-up the inmate's death rather than following the proper protocol. Larry's family endured lawyer fraud by The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, which defrauded the Neals to keep the secret murder out of civil court, and we have been been financially persecuted, intimidated, and censored for nearly eleven years to keep Larry Neal's kidnapping and murder a government secret.
14. With the recent unexplained jailhouse death of Eileen DiNino, 55, of Reading, we learned that Pennsylvania is also locking up poor women, white and black, for small fines having to do with truant children. This is a cruel, lawless society where our most vulnerable citizens, people who lack wealth and sick people, are mistreated mercilessly by greedy infidels over the justice system who have no respect for God's law or man's. Debtors prisons are illegal, but that does not stop lawless prison investors. People must resist the tendency to tolerate injustices without resistance until they are themselves abused. Apathy is like a fertilizer for lawlessness.
15. I numbered the 17 paragraphs in this article to discourage stalkers who ordinarily ignore my right to freedom of press and remove text and photographs from my blog articles and hide my radio broadcasts. Stalkers are working right now to hide or corrupt the url to our Wednesday AIMI radio broadcasts at the signature line beneath this article. Our "Human Rights for Prisoners March" Blogtalkradio show taped on May 19 was offline for weeks, and some friends have complained that they are still not allowed to hear it. The show features two psychologists and an international human rights lawyer discussing ways to reduce America's 67.5 percent recidivism rate. Prison investors do not want recidivism reduced. I am censored to impede advocacy against colossal crimes by prison investors, police departments, and the federal government that happen regularly the United States of America.
16. More urls will be added to this article to prove allegations made herein. See in my censored blog, "Human Rights for Prisoners March," at "Pay Bond to Avoid Indefinite Detention"

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. But this happens to mentally ill Americans routinely in the nation's jails and prisons. What happened to Larry Neal?
Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Advocate for U.S. Congress to pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. Try to elect people who support human rights and justice for all, not prison profiteers.
