INSTRUCTIONS for Filing Habeas Corpus on behalf of John Flynn

Political activist and Researcher John Flynn is being held against his will at the Whiting Forensics Hospital near Bridgeport, Connecticut. We are encouraging all freedom loving people to help John gain back his freedom, by filing a Habeas Corpus which is a powerful legal document that requires the Court and the Hospital to release him.

Please download the Habeas Corpus document, sign your name and date on the last page, then mail the document to the following people. Please remember to also sign and attach the included brief letter to the court, stating our intentions, at the beginning of the habeus corpus when you mail it in.

*Note – If you are sending in the original older habeas corpus, please add the following case number to the document, handwritten is fine: 3:25-cv-00636-SFR.

In a deeply troubling development, the state of Connecticut has conditionally released Tyree Smith—the man who brutally murdered and mutilated 43-year-old Angel Gonzalez in 2012—after he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and confined to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital.

Smith was originally committed to Whiting Forensic Hospital for 60 years after admitting to killing Gonzalez with a hatchet in Bridgeport, dismembering him, and consuming parts of his brain and an eyeball while drinking sake. His cousin testified in court to this horrifying confession.

Despite the gruesome nature of the crime, the state’s Psychiatric Security Review Board approved his conditional release following testimony from a psychiatrist who claimed Smith’s schizophrenia and substance abuse disorders are now in full remission due to treatment. Smith has reportedly spent the last nine months in a supervised community facility and will now continue living under supervision outside of the hospital.

Courtroom Watch stands with the family of Angel Gonzalez and concerned citizens across the state who are asking how such a violent individual can ever be deemed “safe” to re-enter society. During the board’s hearing, Gonzalez’s sister-in-law, Talitha Frazier, raised a chilling and valid concern: “How do we really know he’s not going to do this again?”

Several lawmakers echoed her concerns. State Senators Heather Somers, Paul Cicarella, Henri Martin, and Stephen Harding issued a powerful statement calling the decision “outrageous” and “mind-boggling,” warning that it sends a dangerous message to victims of violent crime and the public at large: “This person should never be out.”

Smith attended the hearing virtually, but his image was hidden from view due to “safety concerns” related to media coverage, according to his attorney. Yet the real safety concern lies with the public.

Courtroom Watch will continue to monitor this case closely and advocate for justice—not only for Angel Gonzalez and his family, but for all victims whose lives have been devastated by violent crime.
