Terri Been Appeals for Help to Save Her Brother Jeff Wood

22295634089_df6ac65155_oHello,

My name is Terri Been and I am the sister of a man WRONGFULLY convicted of murder under the brutal and controversial “law of parties” in Texas. This man’s name is Jeffery Wood and he is set to die on August 24th, 2016 for a murder he did NOT commit.

I am writing and putting this out in the world, because I am once again feeling helpless, and I do not know what I else I can do. For almost 20 years I have been desperately searching for a way to help save the life of my brother. These days, I still find myself slave to the computer…at first I was a slave to the computer, waiting for the worst…to see my brother’s name upon the list of those waiting to be executed. That time has come and gone, but I still find myself still a slave to the computer in hopes of finding people who can help us in our fight against the Texas Judicial System.

With the execution date set less than 3 months from now, we are running out of time. We are desperate for exposure with people who have some kind of influence on the public, or people who know other people who may be able to help. If you have any thoughts, ideas, or just anything that may help…please feel free to get in touch with me.

We lost our original webpage for unknown reasons, but we now have another homepage for Jeff in addition to a new online petition that is circulating, (which can be found here: https://www.change.org/p/governor-abbott-and-the-texas-board-of-pardons-and-parole-demand-justice-for-jeff-wood-5807b015-014a-4a21-8c6e-e34be865c27c?recruiter=12756&utm_source=petitions_show_components_action_panel_wrapper&utm_medium=copylink or on his homepage at the following web address: www.savejeffwood.com). We are still trying to get all of the information updated, so please keep checking for regular news and updates.

I humbly ask you to help my family by taking a few minutes of your time to read a few facts regarding Jeff’s case and to sign his petition that we will be sending the governor! While you are on Jeff’s Web Page, I also ask that you take an extra minute or two to look at the other information we have in the how you can help section. For those of you who are familiar with Kenneth Foster’s case (which is very similar to Jeff’s case) it took their family over 17,000 messages to the Governor and the Board of Pardons and Paroles to get his sentence commuted to Life. This was accomplished by sending petitions, faxes, letters, and by making phone calls. I am eternally grateful for every single signature, but I need more. I need calls, letters and faxes to go along with the petition signatures.

I humbly ask that you help my family. Jeff is my baby brother and he did not kill anybody! Please ask yourselves what you would do if you were in my situation. What lengths would you go to if this was your family member?

While I am trying to save my brother because he is innocent of murder, I am fighting to abolish the death penalty completely. Please feel free to repost this document if you feel compelled to do so. Also, please take a few minutes to look at the few videos I have on my page…they are very powerful clips and will make you think.

If you do decide that you are interested in helping us save my brother’s life; please forward this to as many people as you know. I need at least 1000 signatures on the petition before we can send it in. And again, I am also desperate for letters, and faxes to be sent to the governor and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles as well.

I feel that the more who know about this and participate in it, the better it will be for all inmates who face death, not just my brother. Up until this point, we have done what we have been told to do…’sit back, and let the system work.’ BUT the system has failed my brother, failed his daughter, and failed those of us who love him…Now we are just desperate!
Your help, guidance, and consideration to this matter will be greatly appreciated…more than you will ever know!

I thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter! Again, your help will be greatly appreciated! God Bless You All and thank you for all that you do!!!!

In struggle,
Terri Been

    Much love and prayers for you and your brother, Terri. I pray you have the strength to continue your struggle and that people respond and help you.
    I live in the UK and have no way of helping you – other than to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    this is totally injust. i do believe in death penalty in some cases but this is just ludicrous!

    this is totally injust. i do believe in death penalty in some cases but this is just ludicrous! robbery does not constitute a life sentence let alone death penalty.
