POLITICAL PRISONER FRAN THOMPSON



Today I introduce you to Fran Thompson, a woman serving life in prison for killing a stalker who broke into her house and was poised to attack her.  There is very little information out there that I could find about Fran.  This is partially because she pretty much refuses to ask for help and disdains pity.


On infoshop news I found the following:


Regular readers of the ELP Newsletter will be aware of the name Fran Thompson. In the Newsletter, ELP lists her as "An eco-activist serving life for shooting dead, in self-defence, a stalker who had broken into her home".

But who is Fran? Fran is your typical eco-activist.

On the outside she campaigned long and hard for the issues she cared about. Her campaigning included protesting against nuclear industry, intensive animal farming and environmental destruction. This campaigning made her unpopular in her home area, which was a rural farming area in Nebraska. Now one day, one of Fran' s farming neighbours decided that he wanted to get his hands on the land which Fran owned. To obtain the land he asked Fran to marry him. Fran declined. However this guy was not going to take no for an answer and started stalking her. The stalking got so bad that one-day he broke into her house. Terrified of what he might do to her, Fran grabbed a gun and defended herself. He sadly died from a gunshot wound.

At her trial the Judge refused to allow the Jury to consider a plea of self-defence and Fran was convicted of murder.

Fran hates "poor little Fran" articles being written about her and has never sort out prisoner support. In fact the international eco-prisoner support movement may never of heard about Fran if it wasn't for the fact in 1997 she contacted the British "Vegan Prisoners Support Group" asking them if they could help her secure vegan food. The VPSG passed on Fran's details to an ELP volunteer and ELP has supported Fran from then on. Fran is a lovely woman who deserves all the support we can offer her.

I've done time with Fran. She's a no-nonsense woman and very intelligent. She may be returning to York, Nebraska as the Missouri prison she's in will be smoke-free.

Fran has moved and her address is now as follows:

Ms. Fran Thompson No. 1090915

I did time with Fran myself & I LOVE her!!! I had stayed in touch with her for some time after she left York, but we somehow lost contact. I'm SO glad I happened across this, so that I can get in contact with her again!

What about the victims loved ones. I see pictures of Fran smiling, i will never smile like that. Now as an adult haunted by depression learning to do things with out support from a father. You do not deserve to be free. I am paying the price, for choice you made. God as my whitness, he knows the truth. I have been in terrible domestic violence, not once wishing death for that person. Go ahead and smile, smile for me, the person who has a pain so great that i can simply not.

You've gotta be just as mentally unstable af as her if you think she's innocent, lmao. oh, wait, you're a Marxist, mental instability confirmed.

It’s incredible how little you know of this case and still decided to write a piece over it. I would encourage everyone reading this to actually look into this murder and decide for themselves if she’s really innocent or not. RIP Dean.

Political Prisoner? She's a scheming murderer. There isn't one stitch of evidence showing that Dean Frank EVER threatened her or put her in fear for her life. Not one single piece of evidence. She planned the murder, lied to the police about the threatening phone calls, and gunned him down as he brought her groceries. She lied to the police and friends about what his ex girlfriends told her about him.

This guy is dying on her kitchen floor and he loves her so much that he writes in his own blood that she snot him in self defense? Or when she allegedly kicked him off her property so he decided to turn over all of his property to her? She's not only a murderer...she's a STUPID murderer. The physical and forensic evidence proved she lied to the police about how the shooting happened. That psychopath shot him, forced him to write in his own blood on the floor and then shot him again as he laid on the floor.

She should have been executed and you people call her a political prisoner? She needs to die in her cell of old age.

This article must have been written by some liberal psycho because it's all false! Dean never broke in, he was not a stalker, there was absolutely no evidence that he ever verbally assaulted her. Fran told her son that she wasn't afraid of Dean at all! The door was open, she knew he was coming there with groceries and she planned this horrendous murder! The article here is al propaganda so do research and find out the truth about Fran the psychopath! Fran is a narcissistic egotistical overly-confident obnoxiously arrogant deranged mentally ill murderer! Intelligent?? Not so much for being so stupid that she couldn't even hide the evidence and her plan was so rediculously stupid that it got her convicted, thank God for her STUPIDITY!

Your absolutely right! Fran is a cold blooded murderer who got exactly what he deserved! The narcissistic delusional witch kept appealing her sentence but was always denied!
I feel sorry for the family of Dean Frank for he was an innocent man who was wrongfully murdered! How did Frans first husband die?
Maybe she killed him too!!!!
Fran should never get out of prison for she is a threat to everyone in society! She is a dangerous maniac that could kill anyone at anytime!!

She is an intelligent cold blooded psychopathic murderer and she needs to be imprisoned the rest of her life! Wow! You must have been manipulated by this psycho!

Anonymous said...

Wow! You love murderers? She is a cold blooded psychopathic murderer! Maybe you related to her because you did the same crime?
How can people love evil murderers? She gunned down poor Dean who was an innocent victim of her psychopathic narcissist mental illnesses!
I always thought that people who love murderers are just as evil as the murderers themselves!!!!

Your absolutely right Jeffery! The evidence against her was so overwhelming that they had no choice but convict this mentally unstable psychopath for murder!
Poor Dean didn't have a chance being around an evil bloodthirsty emotionally disturbed nutcase like Fran! The people that support this murderer are just as mentally unbalanced as she is!
Fortunately this INTELLECTUALLY SUPERIOR nutcase wasn't so intellectual as to plan and execute a perfect murder!
Her details that she arranged to make it look like self defense were absolutely laughable! Fortunately for the prosecutor he had an easy task to prosecute this psycho with all the rediculous statements she had made! There also was 1-1/2 hours between shots! The coroner stayed that he lived that long before the fatal shot was fired! This is probably when psycho made Dean write self defense in his own blood! Did she expect anyone to believe this rediculously outlandish story! How did her first husband die? Maybe that should be investigated as well!
RIP DEAN FRANK! God bless your family!

Fran should never ever be free! She is a narcissistic egotistical overly-confident obnoxiously arrogant sociopath that will kill again if released! She poses a threat to society and should never be released! Her fate is to die in her jail cell! She took an innocent mans life and the courts proved with overwhelming evidence that this was definitely NOT SELF DEFENSE BUT COLD BLOODED MURDER!!!
FRAN IS A MENTALLY UNSTABLE PSYCHOPATH THAT IS VERY MANIPULATIVE!
Poor Franny isn't that bright, for she could even plan a perfect murder! There were so many flaws and inconsistencies in her execution of her plan that backfired right in her guilty face!
Keep this psycho in prison for the rest of her pathetic life!
