  1. The complaint cites the findings of the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner, which ruled Lunas Campos’s death a #homicide, saying that he died by asphyxiation. The finding of homicide does not imply intent to kill, but rather that the victim’s death was caused by another person.

  5. What took place in his final moments, behind the walls of a privately run detention center, is the subject of conflicting accounts, with a witness claiming the 55-year-old Cuban immigrant was choked to death by guards & #DHS alleging he had been trying to take his own life & was killed in an ensuing struggle.

  7. Three months before he died, guards found Lunas Campos with a sheet tied around his neck, the records say. Staff discussed moving him to “a higher level of care for mental health treatment,” according to the records, but never did.

    Lunas Campos’s struggles with #MentalHealth, the details of which have not been previously reported, provide context for the chaotic events surrounding his death on Jan 3.

  9. Looking at #HammvSmith, the wild #SupremeCourt case in which #Alabama is desperate to give the #DeathPenalty to someone who their own #courts found #IntellectuallyDisabled, despite it violating the #8thAmendment of the #constitution according to many past rulings. Alabama argues that his #IQtest scores range between 72 and 78, above the limit of 70. Defense counters that experts agree that #IQ is a flawed measure, that he has issues that aren't going to show on IQ tests, and that 72 is so low that the margin of error would reach below 70.

    Meanwhile, the courts found multiple times that he was not competent for #execution, and let's be really honest here, everyone, even the #prosecutors, think he is #MentallyDisabled. This feels to me like #DoubleJeopardy and nitpicking: the courts already said he didn't meet the standard of #competence, and the #prosecutor is basically asking the supreme #court to have lower courts ignore facts whenever a state wants to kill people.

  11. On 25 May 2018 the Irish people voted by 66.4% to overturn the 8th Amendment, ending the Abortion Ban.
