About Ami Ortiz
It's been 3 years since the unthinkable. The attempted murder of an innocent 15 year-old Messianic Jewish boy in Ariel, Israel. He and his family are followers of Yeshua (Jesus) the Jewish Messiah. After two and a half years of excruciating recovery and rehabilitation, 14 operations with more plastic surgeries ahead, and spiritual, mental and emotional recovery, Ami and his family have received another miracle. A suspect was arrested on Oct. 7, 2009! The suspect, Yakov “Jack” Teitel of Shvut Rachel in the Shomron in Israel is not only guilty of the attempted murder of the Ortiz family, but of a string of murders and bombings which he allegedly carried out over a period of 12 years since 1997. The police are trying to connect Teitel to other murders as well, including the murder of two policemen in the Jordan Valley. This has caused much controversy in Israel over the failure of the security services to have apprehended this criminal sooner. A lengthy and much publicized court battle has ensued. To this date, Jack Teitel’s lawyers have still not responded to the 14 indictments against him. Indeed, he has had four sets of lawyers to date, as he is uncooperative and claims that the court has no power over him! He underwent psychological testing for many months but now it is unsure what tactic the new defense team will take. There is much that lies in darkness in this case, such as who his accomplices were, and why the trial has not officially started more than a year after his arrest. The family needs much prayer and support in order to be able to see the battle through to the end, and to insure a sentence that is equal to the crime committed against the Ortiz family and others. Please stand with us in prayer that this case will be solved and the terrorists of this inhumane crime will be brought to justice. There are many ways you can get involved today. Find out more here.
