Urgent Alert Lashaun Harris Rally Fri 26 8:45AM SF Hall of Justice


WHAT : Rally &Prayer Circle

WHERE : SF Hall of Justice, 850 Bryant Street

WHEN : Tomorrow Friday Oct 25, 8:45 A.M.

WHY : Preliminary Hearing for mentally ill LASHAUN HARRIS, who tragically
killed her children on 10-19-05

Tomorrow at 9 A.M., preliminary hearing for Lashaun Harris, who during a
psychotic decompensation threw her children in the SF Bay.

The Community will hold a short rally at 8:45 A.M. in front of SF Hall of
Justice at 850 Bryant St., while leaders of the Faith will lead us in prayers
before stepping into the court room to support Lashaun's family.

Leroy Moore, Director of SF Disability Advocates for Minorities Organization
is attending the rally.

Lashaun Harris suffered from schizophrenia since early childhood.... Her
tragic gesture is sadly typical of poor medical management and the failure of CPS
to save children's life. Lashaun should be transferred to a psychiatric unit,
not behind bars, or a potential candidate for death row!
An overwhelming number of women on death row nationwide are battered women or
women with serious mental health issues, killing their partner or children in
a moment of desperate insanity. Lashaun definitely is the epitome of such
psychological makeup.

Please plan to attend!
