Many people have asked me what they can do to assist in this matter of my son Daniel S. Jason. You can write to Judge and request him to show leniency in the sentencing. You can tell him that NAMI believes in treatment and not incarceration. You can tell him that Dr. Mills believes this is one of the most egregious cases he has even seen and he has testified in thousands of cases. You can tell him that Asperger Syndrome has been criminalized. You can tell him that Daniel has no intent. You can tell him that Daniel is non-violent and does not deserve a sentence similar to those that murder. You can tell him that people should not be punished for organic brain disorders. You can tell him that the whole world is watching his decision. You can tell him that G-d demands that we have the principle of equality before the law.
