after a judge ruled Friday that a state law barring her from being present because of her age is constitutional.this week on behalf of Khorry Ramey asking a federal court to allow her to attend her father's planned execution Tuesday.
Johnson had asked for his daughter to be a witness to his death, along with a spiritual adviser, an older brother and his elementary school principal, said Michelle Smith, co-director of Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.says that no person younger than 21 can witness an execution. In its emergency filing, the ACLU argued that the statute violates Ramey's constitutional rights by"singling out adults younger than 21 ...
"I am my dad's closest living relative and he is mine, other than my baby son," Ramey said."If my dad were dying in the hospital, I would stick by his side and hold his hand, praying until his death." Kendrick said denying Ramey the ability to see her father's final moments is"gratuitous punishment" after she also lost her mother when she was 4. Ramey was a witness to the killing of her mother, who was shot by an ex-boyfriend, Kendrick said.
Johnson saw officers arrive and awoke his 12-year-old brother, Joseph"Bam Bam" Long, who ran next door to their grandmother’s house. Once there, the boy, who suffered from a congenital heart defect, collapsed and began having a seizure.
Because of her age? I don't know what country they think they're in but in this country as of the age of 18 she became an adult!
Violation. Constitution.
Yet someone who is 19 can be sentenced to death.
I bet she's old enough to be extorted via taxation though '¯\\_(ツ)_/¯'
But if she was 11 she would be old enough to carry a baby…….
So taking a defenseless person out of a concrete cell they could never escape from and killing them in cold blood is OK, but letting their kid be there to say goodbye isn't?
This is BS
If she was white this wouldn’t be an issue, but then again if he was white he wouldn’t be getting executed.
Missouri doesn’t mind killing people but they don’t want just anyone to see it.
Okay NBC where victims don’t matter!! Instead let’s make the story about them and not about the fact that he literally executed the police officer 🤨
