This morning @NBCNews picked up on @jeremykohler's coverage of the cruel and preventable death of Lamar Catchings in STLCO jail. I only hope that recognition of this pain and injustice provides some solace to Lamar's mom five days before Christmas. 🙏

If Lamar was faking why isn’t he here??!!

[Mark Pedroli, Atty @MarkPedroli]

Today, Tashonda Troupe, justice reform leader, learned her 20-yr old son, pretrial detainee, sick for a month, unable to walk, was actively prevented from seeking treatment for his highly curable leukemia.

They said he was "[expletive] faking".

He died soon thereafter.

Only reason I can see for this is they have something to hide!!

⚡️BREAKING:

Unprecedented. Wow

STL County asks Judge Newsham to CONCEAL the testimony of Julia Childrey (former Custodian and Jail Director) under "lock and key" and prohibit dissemination to the public.

🤫🤫🤫

....in a Sunshine litigation.

@StengerSTLCo @DrSamPage @lisadclancy @ernietrakas @ChiefTimFitch @No1councilwoman @DunawayKelli @stltoday @tonymess @Bell4STL Even more traumatic -- Lamar's leukemia was curable - had he simply been treated.

"Dr. Steven Gore, an oncologist at Yale University, said it was “unconscionable” that someone would die from APL, which he said is cured 97 percent of the time. “It should never happen.”

@MarkPedroli @DrSamPage @lisadclancy @ernietrakas @ChiefTimFitch @No1councilwoman @DunawayKelli @stltoday @tonymess @Bell4STL It’s truly unfortunate that Ms. Troup have to continue to endure the terrible pain that is associated with the death of her son. A pain that I can’t even imagine. Ms Troup will continue to have my unwavering support while I make policy changes at the jail. #justiceforlamar

They can’t continue with the smoke & mirrors!!

[Mark Pedroli, Atty @MarkPedroli]

Today, I had to tell the mother of a teenager, who was ignored and died of leukemia in St. Louis Co Jail, that former County Executive Stenger laughed about how "f--ed up" the jail was just months before young Lamar died alone, of cancer, in his cell.

@MarkPedroli DID NOT COME TO PLAY

[Mark Pedroli, Atty @MarkPedroli]

🚨Today, I filed a lawsuit seeking to strike-down STL County's "Secrecy Code". The aberrant secrecy code clearly contradicts state law and perpetuates a regime of secrecy and lack of accountability.

Elected officials should join me in this fight.

After three deaths for lack of medical treatment in the St. Louis county holding facility in 2019, @StlCoDJS is still fighting our Open Records requests. While busy fighting us over transparency, a FOURTH man has died.

Time for the oath 👇👇
