Exclusively Yours












What do we forfeit by our disunity? "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Genesis 11:6
   
We could have had _______ centuries ago.
  • peace
  • end of poverty
  • worldwide literacy
  • universal democracy
  • end of disease
  • Et cetera
UNITE around one concept: Human rights for every man, woman, boy and girl. Replace "exclusivity" with a big welcome for everyone, without regard to race, creed, color, gender, nationality, or health status, and let's build a world with liberty and justice for all.

Justice for Shannon Nyamodi Telephone Campaign


Shannon Nyamodi has had two birthdays in the Franklin County Detention Center without being convicted of any crime. None of the ordinary methods of fighting wrongful arrests have helped Shannon, who was charged with attempted murder of a Caucasian woman who he actually helped after a white person shot her, according to witnesses who saw the white man fleeing from Rhonda's house. Shannon is tortured in solitary confinement to enforce a false confession and plea bargain on crimes he never did. We must object to anyone being arrested on charges prosecutors never plan to take to trial because of their lack of evidence. Indefinite detention without allowing any opportunity for defense is wrong.

North Carolina has traumatized the innocent youth for too long without us doing something to help Shannon Nyamodi and his mother, Elizabeth Crudup. It is time for justice-minded people to act. Please call all the officials on the list below, which includes phone and fax numbers, even if you only call one a day. Please share this help request with your online groups, family and friends.

Shannon was arrested a few hours after he helped the injured woman into his friends' home, which is several houses away from Rhonda's house. She had stumbled there and collasped on the porch. Lucky for her that Shannon saw her. He even flagged down emergency responders who were called.

Somebody shot and robbed Rhonda Maclean on August 16, 2012. Shannon Nyamodi happened to be the only black youth around, so he was arrested. Shannon was originally charged with stealing Rhonda's 22-calliber rifle, also, but it was found in her bedroom where it belonged. In a few days, most of the $65,000 was found, too - in an abandoned house. Shannon was arrested the same day Rhonda was shot, but a couple of days after his arrest, a Caucasian youth falsely alleged that Shannon knew Rhonda's daughter and corresponded with her on Facebook. He also falsely claimed that Shannon had asked him on Facebook if he could help Shannon get a gun. A search of Facebook records proved the Caucasian youth lied about both assertions. There were absolutely no phone records or social media correspondence between Shannon and the victim's daughter who arranged the hit on Rhonda or the white kid who made the allegations. Drawing everyone's attention to Facebook was a mistake. A picture on the false witness's page was one of himself surrounded by money, posted on August 17, the day after Rhonda's robbery. The People's Champion reports, "He just happens to be the source from which the conspiracy theory between Shannon Nyamodi and the victim’s daughter originated." See more at:

Elizabeth Crudup could really use our help advocating for her son, Shannon Nyamodi. This article is not for entertainment. The people I write about are really experiencing cruelty by the system and require our assistance. Elizabeth Crudup reports that she was assaulted by Dunn, North Carolina police on Friday, March 14, and arrested. That was probably to prevent her from speaking on two popular radio shows about her son's indefinite detention without trial and his torture in solitary confinement to break him mentally and enforce a plea deal. A false confession would let everyone off the hook, and there would be no chance of ever arresting the real robber and shooter who officials seem to be protecting. 

Elizabeth and supporters plan to begin a picket against the courthouse on Mondays at lunchtime and/or after work. People throughout America are invited to also go to their local jails or courthouses with "Justice for Shannon Nyamodi" signs, either at lunchtime or early evening. Protests and phone calls will demonstrate that the Shannon Nyamodi matter is already well known, so there is no need for further police assaults and arrests of Shannon's mother. There is no way to keep this matter quiet.

Elizabeth Crudup would appreciate it if a clergy person who is willing and able to visit Shannon Nyamodi would please contact her: ElizabethMargaretHome@gmail.com

Please call the seven officials listed and notify them that you know and care about justice for Shannon Nyamodi. We believe the denial of Shannon's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, solitary confinement torture, and the police brutality against Elizabeth Crudup are meant to enforce "What's done in North Carolina stays in North Carolina." When officials get phone calls from states all over the USA and beyond, from African Americans and Caucasians alike, they will understand that we all care about Shannon Nyamodi's right to have a fair, public trial, or he should be released immediately. We care about the U.S. Constitution and our own Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. We do not want indefinite detention without trials to go further.

Please call or write North Carolina officials and demand that Shannon Nyamodi be treated justly. He should also be given an attorney, since his own lawyer apparently works against him. Nyamodi should be tried or released. Below are more contacts.

The North Carolina State Bar www.ncbar.gov

NC Prisoner Legal Services, Inc. www.ncpls.org

The Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights www.prisonerhealth.org

North Carolina Prison Watch http://northcarolinaprisonwatch.blogspot.com/

Legal services in North Carolina http://www.prisonpolicy.org/resources/legal/NC/

Prison Policy Initiative www.prisonpolicy.org 

If officials in Franklin County, North Carolina want to protect the real robber and shooter, that is their business. But framing Shannon Nyamodi and torturing him in solitary confinement for the better part of two years to force a false confession and avoid trial are not. Attorney Mike Klinkosum should also return the substantial retainer he charged to "defend" Shannon. A lawyer who never filed a motion for reduced bond, never filed a motion for a speedy trial, but writes one letter after a year and a half to ask the court for a continuance because he is "too busy" to go to trial is unacceptable.

North Carolina is one of the states that enforced sterilization on blacks from the 1930's to the 1970s to prevent births of African Americans. Shannon Nyamodi was already born, and he was born in the United States of America after the Civil War. That makes him a U.S. citizen, not a North Carolina slave. Officials should do their jobs and get this innocent youth home to his family, especially those seeking reelection in 2014. Please call and tell them so.

Protest Planned: Justice for Shannon Nyamodi

Shannon Nyamodi


DO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT CORPSES? QUESTION: How many of you are willing to picket for justice for Shannon Nyamodi at your own courthouses? His 6th Amendment right to a speedy, public trial is being violated to prevent his case from going to court. Even the alleged victim says Shannon is not the man who shot her. The prosecution does not want to take the case to court or try this weak case and lose. See the latest report and background information about Nyamodi at the two links below:


Cover up? Man being held for crime that victim allegedly says he didn’t commit

Background on the case: "Shannon Nyamodi: A Good Samaritan Imprisoned"
http://humanrightsforprisonersmarch.blogspot.com/2013/12/shannon-nyamodi-good-samaritan.html

Elizabeth Crudup's son is being held in solitary confinement torture in Franklin County, NC jail. She has not seen him in months, and four(4) court dates have passed without the jail producing Shannon Nyamodi for trial. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO SHANNON TO FORCE A FALSE CONFESSION? IF HE IS MURDERED, THEN WILL YOU CARE ENOUGH TO PROTEST?

Today, Terrell Scott was released from a Pennsylvania prison after being indefinitely detained for 4.5 years to force a plea bargain. He was brutally treated - beaten, raped, exposed to HIV, and tortured with solitary confinement. He is now deaf in one ear and blind in one eye - all of that brutality was done to Terrell Scott. Officers of the court claimed Terrell Scott was too "crazy" for trial, but he was deemed competent for plea bargaining. Is this how prosecutors are allowed to avoid the embarrassment of losing court cases?

Shannon has been held without trial for nearly two years. Will you stand up for the Sixth Amendment by picketing for Shannon Nyamodi in your own city at your own courthouse, or do you await another black youth's corpse to get angry? Is this our children's future - indefinite detention until making false confessions to get out of jail? See the message from Elizabeth Crudup below.

Elizabeth Crudup They will not let me see or communicate with Shannon. We have had 4 Court dates, where they refused to produce him. Hoping to hear from Harvard law school criminal justice institute in the morning.

  
If Crudup fails to hear from Harvard Law, or if they offer no IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS, we must protest for Shannon Nyamodi's immediate release or a soon court date that he is allowed to actually attend. Shannon is a youth in OUR village. Franklin County, North Carolina must not be allowed to capture an innocent black youth and treat him like a runaway slave. Our youths must not be indefinitely detained on indefensible criminal charges without our protest. Americans must not be denied their right to a speedy, public trial with competent counsel appointed, especially not working 18-year-old youths who graduated from high school and have no criminal background, like Shannon.

We congratulate Terrell Scott and his mother, Holly Alston, on his homecoming. It is an indictment against America and each of us that nothing was done to deliver Terrell Scott from the Pennsylvania prison before he suffered permanent injuries and confessed to crimes that never happened. A white woman lied on Terrell Scott after he reported her neglect and abuse of her children. His allegations were investigated and found to be valid, and the children were removed from her home. After that, according to an apology the woman delivered to Terrell's brother, she wanted to retaliate. Shannon suffered behind bars for the next 4.5 years with his right to trial denied. This must not be the fate of Shannon Nyamodi, especially since even the supposed victim said Shannon was not her assailant.

On Monday, March 17, 2014, assemble with concerned citizens at a courthouse in your own area, either at lunchtime or after work, and protest Shannon Nyamodi's continued indefinite detention and denial of his Sixth Amendment right to a trial. If anything changes in his circumstances before March 17, I will publish it here.


*Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution*

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.


Black Youths Should Not Have to Be in Body Bags
to Get Our Attention.
