Jonathan Magbie
Jonathan Magbie (1977 – September 24, 2004) was a quadriplegic who died in jail while serving a ten-day sentence for marijuana possession.
Magbie was paralyzed from the neck down after being struck by a drunk driver at the age of four. In 2004, he was charged with marijuana possession after police found a marijuana cigarette and a loaded gun in the vehicle in which he was stopped. 〔Henri E. Cauvin, ("D.C. Jail Stay Ends in Death For Quadriplegic Md. Man" ), ''Washington Post'', October 1, 2004. Retrieved January 2, 2009.〕 Although he had never been convicted of a criminal offense and although he required private nursing care for as much as 20 hours a day, Magbie was given a ten-day sentence in the D.C. jail in September 2004 by D.C. Superior Court Judge Judith E. Retchin. Lacking a ventilator, he died in city custody four days later. This provoked a series of op-ed pieces in the ''Washington Post'' by columnist Colbert I. King.〔Colbert I. King, ("For Jonathan Magbie, a Catalogue of Injustice" ), ''Washington Post'', December 5, 2008. Retrieved February 15, 2009.〕
Magbie's mother, with the help of the ACLU, filed a lawsuit accusing the District government and Greater Southeast Community Hospital of failing to give him proper care. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
