Urgent Action
BIPOLAR DISORDER NOT RAISED AT TRIAL, EXECUTION SET
Jack Jones, aged 52, is scheduled to be executed in Arkansas on 24 April for a
murder committed in
1995. The jurors who sentenced him to death did not know he had been diagnosed
with bipolar
disorder, a serious mental disability, shortly before the crime.
Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:
* Calling for clemency for Jack Jones and for his death sentence to be
commuted;
* Expressing concern that the jury never knew that Jack Jones had been
diagnosed with bipolar
disorder, a serious mental disability, in the months before the crime;
* Explaining that you are not seeking to condone violent crime or to downplay
its consequences.
