Injustice Under The Law

Killers can't be Cured

Mr. Weed

Posted on Feb 27, 2007

Got a call today from a reporter at the Tulsa World in (where else) Tulsa, Oklahoma. He told me of a person who wants to be at the rally. Her name is Amber Jenkins.

Amber's Story (paraphrased)

Her husband was a mail carrier in Tulsa working his route one morning. Along comes this guy (last name) Weed who casually walks-up to him and shoots him dead. They found Mr. Weed setting at a bus stop singing jingle bells.

No trial, everyone including the prosecutor (federal becasue he was a mail carrier) found him to be insane. Fine. They sent him to a mental facility, then to a halfway house and now he's back on the streets of Tulsa (all with about 2 years of treatment). They say he's cured.

Would you want him for a neighbor?

Amber has worked with an Oklahoma House member to get a bill introduced to basically eliminate the insanity defense. Basically it says after they are "cured" they go back to jail and serve-out the remainder of their sentence. Wouldn't that be nice....?

Amber may get to be at the rally unless her job gets in the way. I sure hope she makes it!
