Hello and hope you are good? I am sending you this news below regarding the corrupt officials that kill and get by with this! Why does the media ignore telling stories about the corruptness in our government employees as if they are mice? This is so very hard for us citizens to understand as thousands of thousands of us e mail one another daily regarding this bizarre behavior.
I and my family have been tortured and abused more than any enemies I have ever heard of in our History of wars. More of our abuse can be read at our web site listed below.
I know you are very busy but I am in a desperate situation because my daughter had a heart attack while in jail and the Rockwall County Texas refuses to do what the Emergency Room Doctors said must be done for my daughter to live. Please also keep in mind that this same District Attorney contributed to my 21 year old baby sons death last year through his bizarre illegal corruption, etc.
Also I grew up with this DA in what was probably the smallest school in Texas named Bland which is in Floyd and Merit Texas. We had six people in our entire graduating class. The very first boy I went for a ride with was this DA and I was 14 years old and he was 18 years old.
He now sends boys to prison everyday for this same crime he did!
I do have witnesses from that time that are still around also.
My daughter is Chanda Leigh Bennett D.O.B. 11-16-76 and she is and has been in Rockwall County Texas Jail near 6 months for what Health and Safety sec. 483.045[0] says is a misdemeanor.
The Rockwall County District Attorney somehow made this into a felony and then he also added a few more felonies for " failure to appear". My daughters court appointed attorney Celia Sams from Rowlett Texas told my daughter and I that she could not and would not win against this DA and that Chanda would have to take the 10 years in prison offered to her by the DA! Chanda immediately told Ms. Sams that she was fired. Chanda repeatedly told Ms. Sams that she was not pleading guilty to a felony because it is not a felony but Ms. Sams told Chanda it is a felony and she could not beat this DA.
Chanda then asked the Judge for a different court appointed attorney but the Judge said that only one attorney would be appointed to her. Therefore Chanda was too afraid to go to court without an attorney and she was very sick at that time also from her heart and she did not go with the guards to the court room. The DA gave her more felonies for failure to appear.
President Bush's daughters did similar crimes as Chanda did yet theirs was more of a crime because they wrote their own script. Chanda had been given the script from the doctor but added a 1 in front of the quantity of 30. President Bush's daughter is no better than my daughter and all her punishment was, was about 5 hours community service work! My daughter has already suffered 6 months in jail and had to have a heart attack because Rockwall County Jail Nurse Linda Bell told me, Chanda, and others that Rockwall could not afford Chanda's medical care therefore causing Chanda to have a heart attack because the nurse was not giving Chanda her normal prescriptions of her heart, blood pressure scripts, etc.
This is what they did to my baby son also! This DA court ordered Chip not to ever take his high blood pressure scripts again and Chip's autopsy says his heart was enlarged and he had heart failure. This is exactly what Children's Medical Center told us would happen if Chip ever did not take his scripts in his lifetime. Therefore this DA contributed to my sons death and is trying to do the same to my daughter and oldest 30 year old son. My oldest son, Chad Ray Bennett D.O.B. 4-6-74, has a rare arachnoid brain growth which is probably caused by Lyme Disease. My entire family has Lyme Disease from tick bites and I have run Texas Lyme Disease Network over 13 years and we went misdiagnosed for about 20 years and in Texas there is only a few doctors who are Lyme literate and if Lyme is not diagnosed properly in the first weeks of getting bitten, people become disabled and it can cause the death of one and it most definitely causes the indigence of all who have it. This DA has done unbelievable things to my oldest son

I founded and operate the 1st ever Texas Lyme Disease Network over 13 years now. My entire family has severe chronic Lyme Disease. Please sign this petition above as this would be very appreciated to help save a life!
**************
Mr. Rockwall County Texas Commissioner Beaty,
I am contacting you personally due to the poor condition of your county webpage and to keep this situation private pending a non-litigious resolution. You are one of the County Commissioners in Rockwall County according to the county website.
Jailed in your county jail is the subject female listed above. I have taken an interest in this case.
Apparently the woman is being denied health care which could result in her death--on the basis that the county can not afford the care.
If the county cannot afford the care, it is my suggestion that you release the woman to the custody of her mother who has requested me to represent the daughter currently incarcerated.
If you think the county can't afford the medical care, just how well do you think it can afford a wrongful death suit?
There is in place the medical evidence to show that the care is required and the notification by the doctor to the County of the need for the care, which is all I need to prove up the claim of deliberate negligence and wrongful death on the part of the actors in Rockwall county.
Rest assured, I will continue to monitor this situation to see how the county deals with this. Rest assured if the woman is not either freed or given the required medical care I will take this case on and you, the rest of the county commissioners, the County Judge, the sheriff and every deputy associated with this travesty will be sued both as county officials and personally for deprivations of rights under color of law, 42 U.S.C.1983, et seq.
The next step is yours.

From Legal Pathologist Dr. Glenn
Larkin
Brenda:
You must get an attorney. There may a legal aid society in the immediate areas to take your case, or at least inquire about the it at the Southern Poverty Law Center. I can get you the address if you absolutely nothing in Texas. You might also try to contact your state Senator; your story is high human interest, and if the senator does not respond, try a newspaper.
Without a lawyer, you can go nowhere; you cannot go to court on this pro se, and if you can substantiate all that you claim in court, it is really big bucks! like millions! It is a catch 22 for you; can get the medical records if Chad authorizes you to have them, and if you do start a lawsuit in Federal Court on a § 1983 civil rights violation, the state would be compelled to allow your lawyer discovery. You can sue TDJC although they do have partial immunity, the amount a local lawyer would be able to fill you in.
An MRI and a CAT scan do not always "see" the same thing; if there was a metal plate in Chad's skull, a plain x-ray would show it best. Is it possible that he had surgery on his head, and you do not know it? (NO!)
This is something discovery will allow you to see. I hit it right with the pituitary problem -- pure guesswork with the record-- but I do not know what else I can venture to say.
If both boys had a "pituitary problem" it might be genetic or congenital, and Chanda would be at risk also. The history here is immense, and requires a full review which is not possible without the medical records, one way or another. Get the name of the ED doctors in Greenville, and try to write to him; a letter will be more persuasive than a telephone call. It is hard to miss a metal plate in the skull if present, and it cannot be confused with something else even by the unsophisticated.
Brenda, the records are the thing Without them, you are lost, and the clock id ticking for the statute of limitations of Chip, but not for Chad and Chanda. Try you damnest to get a lawyer to at least review the material, and convince him to take the case on a contingency. He stands to make a million bucks if you get a three million dollar awarded for the three children. Look tomorrow for some legal aid in Texas, or call your State senator!

The sad thing is that Chanda had disability Medicaid but Rockwall County DA called SSI and had it canceled.
Chanda changed a quantity of 30 zanax to 130 by adding a 1 in front of the 30 yet she never picked the script up. The corrupt Rockwall District Attorney is charging Chanda with a felony for this but Texas Health and Safety code sec. 483.045[0] says " forging or altering a script" is a misdemeanor.
Rockwall DA offered Chanda 10 years in prison for this misdemeanor. Chanda refused and he lowered it to 2 years in prison! This is sick!
Chanda would die in prison with her poor health conditions. I have advocated over 13 years for sick inmates because of Lyme Disease running so rampant in Texas and I know the medical care in Texas prisons is the worst and nonviolent people die every day for medical negligence.
Advocacy Inc. Rodney Parsons is also investigating Rockwall County Jail and he has recorded bruises on Chanda from guard Andrade ( ? ) pushing Chanda so hard against the wall that it made bruises and it knocked her ankle out of socket. This guard has a wife that works at the jail also and they all are retaliating against Chanda except for a few and one good guard being Clark.
Chanda called me crying from pain tonight and she was vomiting with the chest pain and like electricity running down her arm. She was scared and asked the guard to tell the nurse. The nurse gave Chanda some Milk of Magnesia.
Chanda had taken zanax since the diagnosis of a heart attack before because the doc said this would slow her heart down. Chanda's pulse was 120 tonight and because Nurse Linda Bell left orders to not give Chanda zanax or the like, the night nurse couldn't give Chanda any.
Dr. Sandknop told us two weeks ago that he was going to put Chanda on a nerve pill. Either this nurse did not give Chanda the script or something but something is happening to the meds at Rockwall Jail. I know for a fact that nurse Bell lies and I know that she has given other people, inmate's scripts.
Below is a letter that I passed around to senators, congress, reporters, and the like. Our story is being told in books and a movie is being talked about. Below this letter below is letters from a publisher, legal pathologist, and Producer Mercedes Maharis.
Thank you so much,
Thank you so much! And can you please call the jail and other #'s at bottom of page and try and make them help my daughter, please?
Chanda has Lyme Disease and had a heart attack in jail and they refuse her scripts!
I need you to please make some phone calls for us. I would do this for you and I have done many things for many. Please do this to help save my daughters life?
My daughter, Chanda Leigh Bennett D.O.B. 11-16-76, was taken to Lakepointe Hospital in Rowlett Texas last night ( June 21, 04) by Rockwall County Texas Jail guards and she had a heart attack. The ER doctors gave Chanda nitroglycerine, blood thinners, morphine, etc. The ER doctors called Chanda's cardiologist, Dr. Sharp at: 972-475-7500 and he said Chanda needs a pacemaker. But the guards took Chanda back to Rockwall jail instead. Chanda called tonight and her heart was hurting her very badly but the jail refused to take her to the hospital again. The jail nurse, Linda Bell, told me and Chanda that Chanda will not get her heart, blood pressure meds, etc., because she said the jail couldn't afford them! The jail has already been taking money off of Chanda's books to pay for her pain medication because Lyme pain is equal to cancer pain but this is against the law for money to be taken off of inmates books that are indigent and papers are filed at Rockwall District Court Clerks office of her being indigent! The jail doc is: Dr. Les Sandknop at: 972-771-9081
I am so afraid my daughter is going to die like this county killed my 21 year old son last year and how they are determined to do this to my 30 year old son who has a rare arachnoid brain growth too. Calls for my son and daughter can be made to the phone #'s at the end of this letter also please? Please, please help Chanda?
Texas CPS, Texas District Attorney in Rockwall Texas, Ex Texas District Judge Sue Pirtle, Doctors and Hospitals killed my 21-year-old son last year and they are now trying to kill my oldest two grown kids! Please help us?
I am sorry to ask but because of the death of my 21-year old last year has made me very fearful of the possibility of losing my oldest two kids with all their similar bad health conditions. Rockwall County District Attorney and other corrupt officials in this smallest county in Texas contributed to my son's death and they appear determined to kill my oldest two grown kids also! I need some exposure on this true, bizarre story and I beg you to circulate this story please ASAP?
Please investigate and help us and please publish? If you can't publish this, please send it to someone you know who can and all your e mail list, etc.?
My 27-year-old daughter, Chanda Leigh
Bennett D.O.B. 11-16-76, also has been in jail about 6 months because I
cannot afford these bonds on my kids. But what I am so worried about with
her is that even the jail doc has told her she is in need of a liver transplant.
I don't know if you remember me telling you but my entire family has Lyme
Disease and because we did not know it was Lyme Disease and was misdiagnosed
for years, we are and always will be chronic fatal Lyme people. My daughter's
Lyme blood count is very high, jail doc, Dr. Les Sandknop ( 972-771-981)
from Rockwall Texas said.
Rockwall County Texas ( smallest county in Texas) took my daughter to Lakepointe Hospital ER Room June 22, 04 and the ER doctors took an EKG and heart blood work and Chanda had a heart attack. The ER doctors called Chanda's heart specialist, Dr. Sharp from Rowlett Texas, and Dr. Sharp said Chanda needs a pacemaker. The guards took Chanda back to the jail and I assume they took her back instead of keeping her because the jail nurse, Linda Bell said the jail couldn't afford Chanda's meds.
Lyme Disease has been proven to be as painful as end stage cancer pain. I had a 10-pound breech birth son natural 30 years ago and this pain is as bad as that was.
Rockwall County Jail is giving Chanda only 2 violent a day for her pain! This doesn't touch Lyme Pain. I asked them to give her a patch that would help her pain better and then it would by pass the liver also but they said no.
Chanda also has kidney disease, heart disease with a past heart attack, mild MR, bipolar, etc. Chanda is a very sick girl and Rockwall Jail is mentally and physically abusing Chanda and it breaks my heart!
I was told by one reporter that Rockwall County should have never put her in jail but just for the mild MR and bipolar diagnosis, she should have legally been put in a rehab type facility with a physical hospital for her other physical sicknesses. The problem is that because we are poor now from being sick with Lyme so long, I can't afford an attorney. Chanda had a court appointed attorney but the attorney told Chanda that she would not fight for Chanda and that Chanda had to accept a plea. Chanda told her to get out of the room and never to come back and fired her because she refused to try for Chanda. The judge stated that he could only give Chanda one court appointed attorney. So Chanda has been sitting in jail over 6 months. Chanda does receive a SSI Disability check each month ( until now and the Rockwall District Attorney called SSI and had Chanda's disability cut off because she is in jail) and I took last months check and paid down on an attorney named Jack Paris out of Greenville Texas 903-455-5797 or fax him at: 903-455-6205, in hopes he will try and win Chanda's case.
Chanda changed a quantity of 30 zanax to 130 by adding a 1 in front of the 30 yet she never picked the script up. The corrupt Rockwall District Attorney is charging Chanda with a felony for this but Texas Health and Safety code sec. 483.045[0] says " forging or altering a script" is a misdemeanor.
Rockwall DA offered Chanda 10 years in prison. Chanda refused and he lowered it to 2 years in prison!
Chanda would die in prison with her poor health conditions. I have advocated over 13 years for sick inmates because of Lyme Disease running so rampant in Texas and I know the medical care in Texas prisons is the worst and non violent people die every day for medical negligence.
Rockwall Jail is not giving Chanda but a few of her necessary prescriptions that Dr. Chaim Banjo prescribes her to keep her alive! Chanda is suppose to be on a few different kinds of heart scripts, high blood pressure meds, pain medication, zanax to lower her heart races, bipolar medications, kidney medications, etc. The jail nurse told me that Chanda's medications are too expensive and that the jail will not provide them therefore every time I put a dollar on her books for her to possibly be able to buy her some soap and shampoo, the sheriff takes her money! I have repeatedly talked to them about this and told them to go or call the Rockwall District Court Clerk and see that we have filed papers and are legally indigent which makes it against the law to take her money to pay for her medicines or anything else but Rockwall County continues stealing her money! Please call Texas Jail Standards for us and tell them to do their job and stop this insanity. Their telephone # is 512-463-5505?
Chanda is also mentally like a child and of course it is hard for an adult mind to deal with a siblings death but Chanda is really having a very terrible time dealing with her brothers death and they refuse to help her on this also. The nurse said she is a baby!
This week the guards told Chanda it would be her fault if another inmate named Kimberly Ahmed killed herself as Kim has threatened to do, because Kim said she would kill herself if Chanda didn't move back in the cell with her. Chanda was screaming in tears over this when I went to see her. She is already having a hard time dealing with her brother's death and then they mentally abuse her like this!
Chanda has also been accused of having contra band! It has been proven too many times by Reporter Bill Curtis on A & E that contraband can only get to an inmate from a guard yet the inmate is always the only one punished.
But Chanda's so-called contra band was, " two mattresses", or should I say, two pieces of thin foam. Dr. Les Sandknop at: 972-771-9081 (jail doc from Rockwall) ordered Chanda to have two mattresses because Lyme Disease makes the bones and muscles feel like risens. The guard took Chanda's mattresses from her for punishment!
Rockwall County DA has ordered that all visitations have talks between inmate and visitor recorded! I heard myself the DA in court use this very thing to send a person to prison. Is this even legal?
This same DA contributed to my 21 year old son, Matthew "Chip" Bennett", D.O.B. 11-23-81, death last year! This DA took us to court and charged Matthew "Chip" Bennett D.O.B. 11-23-81 with taking high blood pressure prescriptions and that it wasn't necessary for him to take! Children's Medical Center in Dallas Texas had to put Chip on this medication at birth because he was about to have a stroke because he did not form the "vena cava" to the heart. The docs said that if he ever quit taking this medicine, his heart would enlarge and Chip's autopsy says his heart enlarged! This DA should be on death row yet he is even still DA and putting people in prison every day! One would think he has blue blood!
This same DA falsely accused my oldest
son, Chad Ray Bennett D.O.B. 4-6-74, of non-violent burglary of a habitat
and Chad has served 7 years in prison for this lie but a court appointed
attorney refused to fight this. On my site it has the true facts of this
all also. The very person the DA said my son robbed.... She went to the
DA and told him that it was not true and that my son did not rob her and
she told us that the DA told her to keep her mouth shut about this and
never tell anyone or he would do something to her.
I was falsely charged over 77 times in one year ( I am 50 years old) and was in court but I won all my cases even though I had to appeal some of them and I have honestly never drank, drugged, or the like in my life of 50 years. I am Brenda Pitts Bennett D.O.B. 5-7-54.
My ex was falsely charged and my deceased son was also falsely charged repeatedly but he won every time also.
We learned later in life how to fight but this hasn't helped my oldest son and my daughter who may die with their bad health from medical negligence.
Please help us in any way you can think of?
Thank you so much for your time and
help. I appreciate it more than words can say.
Please consider making some
calls, e mails, & faxes for us ?

Please pray for my entire family from our loss of our precious 21-year-old son and sibling, Chip Bennett? Chip died last year and he was so wonderful and it seems we all are near loosing our minds from his death. Chip was near perfect. You could ask his friends and they all say the same about him. He never drank or drugged. Chip was always most popular in schools yet he was never ashamed of Jesus with his friends. He never went around saying he was a Christian but it just showed. He read his Bible from the time he could read and he prayed every day of his life since he could kneel and it didn't matter what friends stayed over, etc. He had his favorite scripture tattooed on his arm at the teenage age of 16 years old! He was the most loving and had more wisdom than anyone I have ever known at each age he became was. Our hearts ache way deep with groaning cries daily. We " need" prayers please?

From: Publisher Anna
Brenda, I will put your story in one of my books. The 2nd one is almost complete, but there are others working!
I was at our military hospital waiting room yesterday & met a lady that told a very sad story that also needs to go into my book.
She about 3 years ago married a widowed Lt. Col. Retired, about a year after his wife passed. He died last month in his sleep. His five (5) children came into her home & literally took everything in the home.
There was a will leaving everything to her until her death, then to be divided between his kids.
She took this case to the FBI, State Attorney, & police in Hernando County Florida.
She is selling the home, gone back to school studying for her degree in Criminal Justice. She is approaching age 70 years! So there are many determined people out there!
Her husband was 71 years old, military retired and raised 5 kids that demand that he not marry anybody!
Oh well, just another story for more books.
Brenda, you must get this story to all the media. I sent it to my friend our Governor & ask that he send it to his brother, our president on his private e-mail. You must keep sending this story out. All TV, radio & newspapers!
Stand strong!
Prayers!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Brenda Pitts Bennett worked with me on human rights for prisoner's issues during my efforts on the subject on behalf of Nevada prisoners as Nevada CURE Director.
Not only is she a hard worker, she has also been lovingly dedicated to the well-being of her children, one of whom, Chip, has already died while his siblings are incarcerated and could die also from severe health conditions. Had he received proper medical care, would he still be alive? In my personal opinion, yes.
What mother would not be full of trauma and sadness for the loss of a child? Brenda has demonstrated her strength, courage and steady spirit in sacrificing herself by speaking out for others, not just her family. Without her, in my opinion, the world would be a poorer place.
