On July 24th, 2010, My 26 year old cousin was arrested and charged with murder because he and his wife, Rusty Cropper had taken his medication and Rusty, who also had medical conditions, passed away in her sleep.
The day she passed, when questioned by police, Jason Cropper was in shock, he kept saying its all my fault, its all my fault. When I asked him why he said that he told me it was because he should never have left them where she could take them, he should have told her no. He blamed himself. He was devastated, he loved his wife. We all did.
Jason was not allowed to call his parents. He was questioned with people he thought understood that he had just lost his wife. He was in shock.
His PD who never contacted any of his family, not even Jasons parents, advised him to take a plea bargain for 10 years or he would get a life sentence. He was afraid and without consulting anyone, he took the plea.
Jason has now served half that 10 year sentence for something that Rusty chose to do, he did not force drugs down her throat. If it had been the other way around, our family would never have dreamed of pushing charges againest Rusty as her family did againest Jason. Rusty adored Jason, she would hate this.
We are asking that you revisit Jasons sentencing. Maybe even consider paroling him for the final 5 years. Give him a chance. His Mother has had cancer twice, once while Jason was incarcerated. His father is out of state. Jason has so much family and we are all waiting and willing to help him.
Please sign and help us ask for reconsideration. Thank you

The focus remains on highlighting the circumstances surrounding Jason's plea and his ongoing confinement. I am currently preparing a formal inquiry to address the lack of family communication during his initial legal proceedings.

The momentum surrounding this petition confirms that many individuals recognize the flaws in this case. This public backing provides essential pressure as we work toward a review of the sentencing.

FREE JASON. He did nothing wrong and has been locked up long enough.
This whole thing is just so sad. He was clearly grieving and not in his right mind when he took that deal. 10 years is way too long for a tragedy like this.
Thank you , we love Rusty but you are correct.

She was an adult and choose to take the medication she is responsible for her out actions and no one else. Jason should be freed to start a new life that he should have already begun. He should not have been given prison time for something an adult choose to do. Free him
