Every day we’re told the justice system is fair. But what happened today shows the truth: Louisiana will twist itself in knots to keep a wrongfully convicted man on death row.
Free Jimmie Duncan. Today.
Let him come home — just like the court said. Please spread the word.
This isn’t about safety. This isn’t about protocol. This is about power, ego, and cruelty. It’s about @AGLizMurrill who refuses to let go of an innocent man because it ruins her political theater and thirst for death.
Instead of complying with the court’s order, they placed him on a 72-hour SUICIDE WATCH. That means complete isolation; no calls home, no access to counsel, no normal property. It’s the most restrictive status they can use. This is a factually innocent man.
The excuse given that now questions are being asked? “The transport van broke down.” Because apparently the entire Louisiana DOC operates on a single vehicle. Noted.
Today, Jimmie Duncan was taken all the way to the front prison gate — processed and prepared for release — only to be turned around and sent back to death row. No warning. No explanation that makes sense.
Let’s be honest: they were stalling Jimmie Duncan’s release from the jump. @AGLizMurrill has built her whole brand on pushing executions, and the idea of her “parade of gassing” being interrupted by a factually innocent man doesn’t fit her narrative.
Louisiana is in chaos right now. @AGLizMurrill is fighting harder to keep an innocent man on death row than she is to follow a DIRECT court order. The stay was denied, Jimmie Duncan should’ve been released. But they refused to let him go home today.
When people are dying behind bars, compassionate release can give families one last precious gift: time together. That moment can change everything. Help us heal families and support our work on compassionate release.
“Both the Attorney General’s office and the Department of Correction have fought hard to keep this video hidden from the people of CT. But transparency is not optional when a person is harmed behind prison walls."
