The Bad Boy of
Bennington Drive
By Robert A. Waters
The screams coming from
the home on Bennington Drive
in Jacksonville, Florida, were
loud enough to cause all the
dogs in the neighborhood to
start barking. Several neighbors called 911 and police soon
arrived. Shortly after 10:30
p.m. on August 5, 2008, responding officers made their
way into a house of horrors.
They found 65-year-old Delores Futrell lying on
the floor of her home. She’d been beaten, stabbed repeatedly, and had her throat slashed. Her clothes
had been cut off her body, and her empty wallet lay
on the floor. The bloody scene shocked even the cops
– it was obvious that a frenzy of rage had overtaken
the killer or killers. Neighbors, stunned and saddened to hear that one of their own had been murdered, began an all-night vigil outside the
well-tended townhouse.
An 18-year-old ex-con named Randall Deviney
quickly aroused the suspicions of Futrell's relatives.
He lived on Byner Drive, a few houses down from
the murdered woman. As the stunned family
grieved outside Futrell's home, Deviney rode back
and forth on his bicycle. Even though he knew the
family and had been befriended by Futrell, he
seemed hyper and would not stop to speak. To
many in the crowd, it seemed as if Deviney was attempting to listen to the conversations of bystanders
in an attempt to gain information. Finally, he approached two of Futrell's daughters.
He asked if Futrell had been raped, further heightening their suspicions. Deviney liked being known as a bad-a**, a punk
with a mean streak. He’d attended Ed White High
School, but majored in misconduct instead of academics. To say that he was a poor student was being
generous. A former teacher described the young
hoodlum as a budding sociopath. “[Deviney] was
just defiant and disrespectful, without conscience
and remorse,” the teacher said. “He thought he
could behave however he wanted. School was nothing more than an inconvenience to him, and if any
teacher got in his way they could expect a tirade of
foul language...”
Deviney should have been in prison when Futrell
was murdered. He’d been released after serving one
year of a three-year stint in the state penitentiary. His
arrest record included aggravated assault, sexual
battery, grand theft, armed robbery, trafficking in
stolen property, and other crimes. Shortly after being
released, Deviney committed yet another robbery.
Instead of putting him back in prison, however, a
judge let him back out on the streets. Four months
later, Futrell was dead.
With a blanket of tattoos covering his body,
Deviney looked like a walking advertisement for
cheap prison art. He’d had little nurturing as a child.
Indeed, both his parents had been imprisoned for
murdering their sixteen-month-old son. They admitBad Boy (Continued on page 4)

Family endures second murder trial
Jury again recommends death for Futrell’s killer
By Shirley Shaw
“Learning that my sister was so
cruelly murdered by someone she
knew and befriended was such a
huge shock to my senses that I had
difficulty processing events that followed. The sorrow was almost
overwhelming for me. I could not
wrap my brain around the fact that
someone would do those things to
her.”
Debra Wright’s impact statement regarding her sister vividly
described the agony she and her
family have experienced since the
murder of Delores Futrell in August
2008. The brutal, senseless killing of
the kind, generous 65-year-old
woman – by an 18-year-old neighbor whom she had for years befriended – has been devastating to
her family.
Jackie Blades said in her impact
statement: “I am the oldest daughter of Delores Futrell. When I was
younger I never really got to know
my mother because she had so
many health issues and was frequently hospitalized with MS and
its complications, including strokes.
My grandparents raised me, but
when I became an adult my mother
and I became very close.
“Words cannot express the pain
and anguish our family and friends
have endured since my mother was
murdered, and the loss is just inconceivable. A person like my
mother should have died a peaceful
death – not one where she was brutally beaten, her throat slashed and
left naked on her floor posed in a
freakish position.”
These statements were read July
23 at the sentencing of Randall
Deviney who was convicted twice
– not once, but twice – of the
heinous crime. His initial trial in
2010 resulted in a death penalty decision by Judge Mallory Cooper,
but it was overthrown on a technicality and the second expensive,
week-long trial occurred last
month.
Beware of Robocall Scams
Pam Bondi, Attorney General
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Attorney General Bondi and the Federal
Trade Commission filed a joint
complaint against a New Yorkbased operation, known as Lifewatch, alleging that the company
used blatantly illegal and deceptive telemarketing robocalls to
trick older consumers throughout
the United States and Canada into
signing up for medical alert systems with monthly monitoring
fees ranging from $29.95 to $39.95.
Many of the victims are on fixed or
limited incomes or rely on family
members or health professionals to
make financial decisions on their
behalf.
"This company violated the Do
Not Call Registry to deceive seniors, not only in Florida, but across
the country and we will continue
to work with the FTC to do everything in our power to make sure
the individuals responsible for
this scheme pay," said Attorney
General Pam Bondi.
The complaint alleges that
Lifewatch hired telemarketers to
sell these systems on its behalf,
that it has known of the use of
both false claims and robocalls by
its agents, and that it has continued to use these tactics even after
one of its largest agents was shut
down by Attorney General
Bondi’s Office and the FTC more
than a year ago.
“Some scammers won’t take a
hint,” said Jessica Rich, Director of
the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer
Protection. “When we sued Lifewatch’s telemarketers for making
deceptive robocalls, they just continued the same illegal practices
with new telemarketers. The FTC
and the Florida Attorney General

won’t be deterred and will continue to work together to stop illegal robocalls.”
According to the complaint,
Lifewatch bombards primarily
elderly consumers with unsolicited robocalls, often to numbers
on the National Do Not Call Registry, and typically using fake
caller ID information. The calls
use pre-recorded messages, including one supposedly from
“John from the shipping department of Emergency Medical
Alert,” to falsely tell the consumers that a medical alert system
has been purchased for them, and
that they would receive it “at no
cost to you whatsoever.”
Consumers who press a number to speak with a live operator
are told that even though the system cost more than $400, they
would receive it for free. However, the telemarketers refuse to
answer questions about who
bought the systems for the consumers, and tell consumers the
offer is only good for one day. The
operation has even used the wellknown phrase “I’ve fallen and I
can’t get up,” or told consumers
they may have seen the product
on television, to add an air of legitimacy to the sales pitch.

Police Supervisor of the Month
Rickie E. Valentine
Police Officer of the Month
Billy B. Reinert
Patrol Officer Billy Reinert is assigned to Zone 2 (includes Arlington area) and Sergeant Rickie Valentine is
assigned to Zone 1(includes the Springfield and downtown areas). Prior to making a lateral move to Zone 1,
Valentine was also assigned to Zone 2 and was once Reinert’s supervisor. They are recognized in their respective
categories for their teamwork that led to the capture and
Valentine
arrest of two armed carjacking suspects.
Last Oct. 24 officers responded to an armed carjacking at an apartment complex on the Arlington Expressway. Investigation revealed that one suspect held the
victim at gunpoint, while the second suspect stole items
from the victim’s pockets. The suspects then fled the
scene in the victim’s 2014 Honda Accord.
While on patrol just after midnight Oct. 25, Reinert
observed a Honda Accord travelling at a high rate of
speed in the 7100 block of Merrill Road. As he attempted
to conduct a traffic stop, the driver veered onto a side
street and stopped, at which time the two occupants
abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot in separate directions. Reinert used his radio to alert responding units of
important details, including the direction of travel and
clothing description for each suspect.
At this time he and Valentine recognized that this
was the vehicle stolen Friday night. Within minutes
Reinert
Valentine arrived on scene and established a perimeter.
While patrol officers were setting up that perimeter, several officers observed one
suspect running behind houses on Merrill Road, which prompted him to expand
the perimeter. He requested additional resources including K-9 units and the assistance of JFRD which responded with their thermo heat devices to aid in safely
searching the wood line.
Meanwhile, Reinert decided to remain with the victim’s vehicle so neither suspect could return and leave the area. This decision was also crucial with the preservation of evidence in the case. After two hours of searching, one of the K-9 units
got a hit on a locked shed behind a home on Rogero Road. After obtaining the
owner ’s permission and getting a key for entry, officers searched the shed where
they discovered a male in a camouflage jacket. The subject refused to comply with
police orders; therefore, Police Service Dog “Eli” was deployed. The suspect was
placed into custody without further incident.
Officers continued to search the shed and discovered the second suspect attempting to conceal himself behind a wheelbarrow. After resisting arrest and attempting to flee the area, the second suspect was ultimately taken into custody.
After the suspects were in custody, Valentine searched the area and located the
firearm that was used during the original offense.
Officer Reinert’s awareness and concise communication, along with Sgt. Valentine’s execution and management of resources, resulted in the two felons being
taken off the streets of Jacksonville.
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
Kenneth Westberry
Corrections Sergeant Ken Westberry works at the jail
where he supervises the Immigration Customs Enforcement 287(g) Unit (ICE). In fact, he was a key player in establishing this unit in 2008. According to Marc Moore, ICE
Field Office Director for the Southeast Region, Ken has
made this particular 287(g) program the best in the nation
and a model for all other programs across the nation. He
is recognized for his overall leadership and his commitment to the program.
Earlier this year the ICE Unit encountered a subject
who appeared to be a United States citizen. The subject
had a relatively minor criminal charge and could have been released back into the
community following first appearance. Westberry’s team quickly discovered the
subject was, in fact, in our country illegally. Upon further investigation they discovered there was a warrant issued by Interpol for the individual on charges of
murder. The subject was placed in deportation proceedings and the extradition
process was started.
Sheriff Rutherford said, “Ken, if it weren’t for your leadership and the attentiveness put forth by your officers, this individual may still be on the streets of
Jacksonville today. Thank you for your guidance and overall dedication to making
this Unit a success.”
His supervisor, Corrections Lieutenant Steven Inman, said, “Kenny ensures his
unit has access to the latest and best training and that his officers have the best
equipment available. He accomplishes these feats with little or no cost to the Sheriff ’s Office. Kenny welcomes challenges and overcomes obstacles with ease.
Whether he has to adjust his officers’ hours, swap days, or come in himself and
work a midnight shift, Kenny always does what it takes to get the job done. His
leadership is inspirational to others and creates an environment that causes his officers to excel.”
Do the right thing. Call police if you have
information about a crime.
AUGUST 2015
Corrections Officer of the Month
Leroy Grant
Corrections Officer Leroy Grant is currently assigned to
the Services Unit at the Montgomery Correctional Center
(also known as the prison). His assignments vary from overseeing daily operations in the prison’s laundry facility to conducting tours for recruit classes and community groups. In
addition, he teaches classes to new recruits at the Academy
to help them get a better understanding of manipulation
methods that an inmate may try to use and ways to detect
them.
He is being recognized for removing contraband from the
building. Since he oversees a work crew, Grant conducts regular searches of the inmates assigned to work for him. These searches are conducted
when they return to the laundry room from lunch and prior to returning to their dorms.
In early 2014, Grant noticed an inmate assigned to the sanitation work crew attempting
to return into the building after taking out the trash. After searching the inmate, Grant
found tobacco, contraband that he retrieved from the visitors’ restroom.
Investigation revealed that the tobacco was left by a visitor and was intended for
another inmate. That visitor was detained and admitted to leaving the tobacco in the
restroom for the sanitation inmate to retrieve. She was arrested for introduction of contraband into a detention facility and later pled guilty in exchange for a sentence of two
years probation.
Grant photographs special events and ceremonies at the prison and events for Correctional Officers’ Week. He is also very involved in service to our community. He visits
nursing homes during the Christmas season and supplies throw blankets and lap rolls
to the elderly. Also during the holiday season, he dresses up as Santa and distributes
gifts to children at local homeless shelters.
Corrections Lt. Jason Rogers said, “Officer Grant is an employee I refer to as a rock.
He is an expert at his duties and never wavers from the mission at hand. You can always
depend on him to be there when needed and make solid decisions due to his vast experience. We, the Services Unit at MCC, are fortunate to have Officer Grant on our
team.”
Civilian Employee of the Month
Debbie Presgraves
Clerical Support Aide III Debbie Presgraves, who works
at the Patrol Zone 6 substation located on the north side of
Jacksonville, is recognized for her community involvement
throughout the 2014 calendar year. Last May, Patrol Zone 6
and the Sheriff’s Advisory Council members in that area
hosted a ShAdCo Safety Fair at River City Marketplace.
These events are designed for the public to visit an array of
interactive exhibits and informational booths to learn more
about issues such as traffic safety, human trafficking, identity
theft and other crime prevention tips. In addition, it provides
an outlet for the community, especially children, to interact
with law enforcement in a relaxed and informal environ-
ment.
These events don’t just happen; they take months of planning and coordinating with
various partners, which is where Debbie comes into the story. She managed the logistics
of getting participants from local law enforcement, health and public safety agencies
onboard. Approximately 50 vendors participated and hundreds of citizens attended
last year’s event.
Retired Assistant Chief T.C. Davis said, “This event cultivated a positive image in
the community of not only Debbie as a JSO employee, but of the whole JSO as well.”
Also, Debbie was the driving force behind the Zone 6 Christmas party for needy
children. In 2014 she partnered with Zone 6 ShAdCo members to make sure all the
needs of the party were met including food, individuals to wrap gifts for the children,
and of course to make sure Santa was available to attend the festivities. Her most important task was to identify and invite the children who were most in need and not receiving assistance from another organization. In total this event provided 37 children
with a gift to open on Christmas day. This type of impact on the community is priceless.
Each day Debbie works with the members of the Zone 6 Sheriff’s Advisory Councils,
attending subsectors’ monthly meetings and is continually on the phone with them to
make sure their issues are addressed. Sheriff Rutherford said, “Debbie, thank you for
your continued service to our community. I am honored to present you with this
award.”
Civilian Employee of the Month
Stephen R. Valdes
Police Emergency Communications Officer Stephen Valdes,
who works in the Communications Unit and handles 911 calls,
is recognized for demonstrating one of the Sheriff’s Office Core
Values of being Community Focused.
Last November 13, Valdes was driving on his day off near
the Museum of Science and History (MOSH) when he witnessed a car being driven erratically and running a red light.
Just as he called into the Communications Center to report the
incident the driver stopped the car near the museum. He saw
the male driver of the car slumped over and realized he appeared to be in medical distress. Valdes exited his vehicle to
check on the driver while relaying this vital information to the 911 operator. He remained
with the citizen until rescue arrived.
According to his supervisor, Communications Sergeant Jasmine Lewis, “PECO Valdes
has a caring and compassionate nature. He continually goes above and beyond. He displays a professional and helpful nature on a daily basis within the Communications Center. He trains new employees…imparts his vast knowledge and expertise to new
employees in a compassionate, informational and jovial manner.”
Sheriff Rutherford said, “Stephen, thank you for assisting the citizens of this community both here at work and outside of work.”

The Justice Coalition was founded in 1995, when one man’s priorities were changed. Ted Hires was
the average businessman working 60 to 80 hours a week and looking out for himself until the day
when he and his staff were robbed at gunpoint. As a victim of a crime, Ted found the crminal justice system worked harder for the criminal than the victim. As a result of his experience, Ted
formed a (501(c)(3)), non-profit organization, Justice Coalition, which continues Ted’s mission of
assisting innocent victims of violent crimes in the Fourth Judicial court system. Since 1995, the
Justice Coalition has been fighting crime every step of the way. Fugitives captured are through a
partnership with local law enforcement agencies, the media, and citizen involvement.

JSO introduces its new Mobile App
JACKSONVILLE, FL (July
7, 2015) - The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced its new
mobile app, for use with mobile
phones and tablets that are on
Android or IOS platforms. The
application, found in Play/App
Stores under “Jax Sheriff,” easily downloads for free, and provides one-touch connections for
citizens with popularly used
features such as Crime Reporting – Crime Tips – Crime Mapping – Offender and Predator
Maps – and all the social media
platforms used by the agency to
stay in contact with citizens.
Development for the app
began more than a year ago.
During that time the Public Information (PIO) Unit also
worked with the city of Jacksonville IT department on upgrades to its public website. The
mobile app takes advantage of
all the features found on the
public website, with easy access
using one or two touch navigation.
“NOTHING replaces the
need for people to call 911
when there is a police emer-
gency,” said PIO Officer
Melissa Bujeda. “But this mobile app does let you have the
privacy and comfort of sitting
somewhere and going online to
get information or search for
data or statistics that you might
want when you can’t get to a
desktop computer. And you
can tip us or Crime Stoppers
anonymously. But we remind
people NOT to access this app
while driving,” she said.
“I think one of the best features of the app is the alerts and
notifications,” said PIO Officer
Chris Hancock. “We wanted
people to be able to select what
they most wanted to hear about
from us. This is a real complement to our Audio Traffic application, too. So drivers can use
this to LISTEN to the updates
about traffic in Jacksonville. As
a parent or grandparent, we
think it’s helpful to be able to
get text messages about things
such as Silver or Amber Alerts
and other emergent news, or
just look at a map and see
where the registered sex offenders are,” he said.

Eventually,
consumers are held responsible for a monthly
monitoring fee. Consumers are also told that
they will not be billed
until they receive and activate the system, when they are actually
charged almost immediately. Those who later
realize they have been tricked discover that it is
difficult to cancel, and have to pay to return the
system or pay a $400 penalty.
One reason for the increase in the number of
robocall complaints may be advances in techted during his trial that they were unfit parents.
Deviney’s childhood was plagued with messy
divorces, domestic violence, abuse, and drug
use. “With his family, he never had a chance,”
said his lawyer, Melina Buncome-Williams.
It was the same argument always used by the
defense when the evidence against their client is
overwhelming. While attempting to make the
killer into a victim, attorneys never mention the
millions of individuals raised in dysfunctional
homes who live productive lives and don't murder old defenseless ladies.
The real victim, of course, was Delores Futrell.
She’d worked as a dialysis technician before retiring, and had four children, seventeen grandchildren, and more great-grandchildren than
anyone could count. She was described as a
“spiritual person” who cared deeply for others.
She loved cooking and tending her garden.
Futrell suffered with multiple sclerosis. Because of her condition, she had trouble maintaining her balance. She also had little strength or
stamina, leaving her vulnerable.
As Deviney grew up, Futrell attempted to
help the struggling teen. She baked cakes and
cookies for him and his brother, paid him to perform odd jobs around the house, and counseled
him on the direction his life was taking. Early in the investigation, detectives questioned the violent ex-con. With no evidence to
prove that he was the killer, however, they released him. Then, three weeks after the crime, a
DNA profile came back from the lab. Skin from
beneath the fingernails of Futrell had been
matched to Randall Deviney.
He was arrested and charged with the murder of the woman he used to call his "godmother." Deviney confessed, stating that as she
once again attempted to counsel him on going
straight, he “snapped” and killed her. He informed investigators that he beat the defenseless

“Providing citizens with

this administration, and the
new mobile app complements
our new website (jaxsheriff.org)
and makes the agency easy to

nology that allow companies to make up to
1,000 robocalls every minute. Generally only
non-profits and political organizations are allowed to make robocalls. Companies that have
obtained written consent from their customers
are also allowed to send prerecorded telephone

woman until she was helpless. When she didn’t
die, he retrieved a fillet knife he’d brought to the
scene and cut her throat. Futrell was still alive,
so Deviney stabbed her repeatedly until she
died.
It was a horrible death that demanded the
ultimate justice. In 2010, the bad boy of Bennington Drive
was convicted and sentenced to death.
“He picked the easiest prey,” said prosecutor
Bernie de la Rionda. “This was the classic case
of why we need the death penalty. It’s horrific.
An innocent elderly lady is savagely murdered
in her home. What other sentence could there
be?”
Judge Mallory Cooper stated her reasons for
sentencing Deviney to death. “Delores Futrell
struggled to survive and scream for help,”
Cooper said. “However, her struggle to escape
the defendant’s attack was to no avail. There is
no doubt that for each of her final breaths, she
was acutely aware of her impending death.”
After the verdict, Futrell's daughter, Helen
Futrell-Stewart, spoke to reporters. “I am left
with a hole in my heart,” she said. She stated
that the family was glad the trial was over and
they were happy the killer received death.
If there ever was a case that deserves the
death penalty, it's this one. There's no question
about the guilt of the killer. According to witnesses in the courtroom, he had absolutely no
remorse, and would joke with his defense attorneys while the jurors were outside. It seems obvious that Deviney has a rage to kill, and would
certainly murder again if released. And Delores
Futrell's family is crushed with the weight of
Deviney's horrific act.
Lethal injection is too easy for this coldblooded killer.

had taken all the money they saved and
made a huge platter of peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches, served with Ritz colas
(the cheapest brand). A truly memorable
occasion.
We were married 44 years. We have
two daughters and four grandchildren
whom we love very much. Larry took Rebecca’s oldest son Carson on his first hunting trip and began teaching her other son
Danny target practice and respect for guns.
Amanda’s daughter Miranda and stepson
Christopher love the woods too and are
becoming skilled hunters like their
grandpa. Besides being an avid hunter,
Larry loved to fish in different lakes and
rivers. He also loved to garden so we’ve always had plenty of fresh vegetables. He
wasn’t a cook; however, if I was gone he
could survive on milk and cornbread.
God has blessed our home and family.
We’ve laughed together, played together
and cried together. Family has always been
important. When supper was ready we all
sat at the table for dinner and would say
the blessing, thanking God for His bounty.
Larry served his country, gave his time
to fight in Vietnam and now has given his
life, paid the ultimate price because of
Agent Orange, a dioxin described as "perhaps the most toxic molecule ever synthesized by man.” At times he felt it was all in
vain – suffering with cancer of the prostate,
kidneys and bladder, as well as diabetes,
heart problems and stroke.
His greatest desire was to see his family again in Heaven – his children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters – and his
friends, making sure they all have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Although he gave his heart to
the Lord many years ago, he didn’t always
put God first in his life. He felt that because
he worked hard all week he could rest in
his own way on Sundays, usually spending the time hunting.
In the last year Larry rededicated his
life to the Lord and spent every morning
on the porch praying and reading his
Bible. He wanted to convey his regrets to
his family and friends, urging them not to
waste time as he had done, but to live
every day seeking to please the Lord.
Thank you all for coming today. I’m
overwhelmed by the outpouring of love
and support you’ve extended to our family. God bless you all.
Although I didn’t include this in the above
eulogy, Larry always supported me and the
time I’ve spent working at the Justice Coalition
all these years. He sacrificed time we could have
spent as a family when I had to attend countless meetings relating to the operation of the organization, or help a family devastated by the
loss of a murdered loved one, or handle many
other emergencies involving the victims we
help every day. Often he personally contributed
money when there was an immediate need.
He loved the Justice Coalition staff and
they reciprocated. Rest in peace, Larry; we all
miss you more than we can say.

New Laws – Sexual Cyberharassment
By Jay Howell
The recently completed 2015
Florida legislative session passed
a new law
w h i c h
criminalizes the dissemination of sexually explicit images of persons
for the purpose of harassing
them. In enacting the Bill, the
legislature found that a person
who is depicted in a sexually
explicit image taken with the
person’s consent also has a reasonable expectation that the
image will remain private. Further, the legislature found that
it is becoming a common practice for persons to publish a
sexually explicit image of another to Internet websites without the depicted person’s
consent, for no legitimate purpose, and with the intent of
causing substantial emotional
distress to the depicted person.
When such images are
published on Internet websites, they are able to be
viewed indefinitely by persons
worldwide and are able to be
easily reproduced and shared.
The legislature concluded that
the existence of these images
on Internet websites causes
those depicted in the images to
suffer significant psychological
harm because the publication
of the images creates a permanent record of the depicted
person’s private nudity or private sexually explicit conduct.
The new crime, called
“sexual
cyberharassment,”
bearing the Florida Statute
number 784.049, makes it a
misdemeanor of the first degree (punishable by up to a
year in the local jail) to publish
a sexually explicit image of a
person that contains or conveys the personal identification information of the
depicted person to an Internet
website without the person’s
consent, for no legitimate purpose, and with the intent of
causing emotional distress.
The new law defines “sexual explicit image” as any
image depicting a person engaged in sexual conduct. The
crime is a misdemeanor; however, if a person has a prior
conviction for the same crime
and commits a second or subsequent crime, the crime is a
felony. The new law allows a
law enforcement officer to arrest, without an arrest warrant,
any person that he or she has
probable cause to believe has
violated the law. The new
statute also provides that the
victim may initiate a civil action against a person who violates this law and such civil
action may include an injunction and monetary damages.
One issue that always
comes up in cybercrimes is the
geographic location where the
crime occurs. Since the harassment can be initiated by an
out-of-state computer, questions often arise as to whether
Florida has the jurisdiction to
prosecute the criminal case.
The new law states that a violation of this law is committed
Sexual
Cyberharassment
within Florida if any conduct
that is a part of the offense, or
any harm to the depicted person resulting from it, occurs
within this state. The Florida
legislature, citing several existing federal laws, exempted a
provider of interactive computer services from the criminal sanctions contained in the
new law.
The Bill which enacted this
new statute is Senate Bill 538
and the law takes effect October 1, 2015.
Jay Howell, a Jacksonville
attorney, has been a State
Prosecutor, a US Senate
Investigator and

Bohannon Brothers’ Murderers Receive Life Sentences
By Angela Corey
State Attorney
In July
2013,
the
Bohannon
family was
changed
forever
when two
brothers
lost
their
lives. Andrew Bohannon, 24, and his
younger brother, Matthew, 19,
were gunned down and murdered in the parking lot of the
Golden Corral on Normandy
Boulevard.
The pain this family has
dealt with over the last two
years is unimaginable. These
murders are also just two examples of the senseless
crimes being committed in
Jacksonville.
While the Bohannon family continues to deal with the
pain, they do have some closure in this case. Assistant
State Attorneys John Guy and
Garrett Hill recently convicted one of the defendants
in the crime. Avery Damon
Wood Jr., 21, was recently
sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for his involvement in the murders of
the Bohannon brothers. Wood
was found guilty of two
counts of felony murder in
the first degree and one count
of armed robbery.
The evidence shows that
Wood, along with three codefendants, met with the victims at the Golden Corral.
The Bohannons believed
Wood and his co-defendants
were buying marijuana from
them. When the brothers arrived in the parking lot, two
of Wood’s co-defendants approached them. Seconds later,
Andrew and Matthew Bohannon were fatally shot in their
heads.
Co-defendant
George
Carter Jr. has been convicted
and sentenced to two life
terms plus 40 years in prison
for two counts of murder in
the first degree, one count of
armed robbery, and one count
of possession of a firearm by
a convicted felon. Steven Bennett pleaded guilty and is
awaiting sentencing on two
counts of murder in the second degree and one count of
armed robbery. The fourth codefendant, Jallil Graves, is set
to go to trial in the fall.
Our prayer is Wood’s conviction and sentence will
bring some peace to the Bohannon family while we continue to seek justice for
Matthew and Andrew.

AUGUST 2015
Missy Rivera
By Shirley Shaw
On June 27 this year the 11th
Annual RIdE FOR JuSTICE was
held again at the Adamec
Harley-davidson Baymeadows location, and (as always)
Missy Rivera helped facilitate
the event. The word ‘facilitate’
doesn’t begin to describe all
she does to make these events
a success – we can’t imagine
doing the RIdE without her.
When the Justice Coalition
has a fund-raiser, photos and
descriptions of the occasion
highlight speakers, participants and victims for whom
we work. Oftentimes, however, those working behind the
scenes – and without whom
the event could not have occurred – are not given the
credit they deserve. So this
Hats Off is honoring those unsung heroes, specifically
Missy.
She has been the Events
Coordinator at Adamec for 15
years and has been an integral
part of the RIdE all four years
they’ve hosted it. Actually, her
title is General Merchandise,
HOG (Harley Owners Group)
Chapter Manager, Events and
Learn to Ride Coordinator –
which shows what a vital role
she plays at this well-known
biker establishment. Adamec
offers a Learn to Ride program
that qualifies participants who
pass it to get an endorsement
on their driver’s license. Participants go through all the basics, starts and stops, all the
skills required to operate a motorcycle, and Adamec also
teaches an advanced course to
further those skills.
Missy says owners Mark
and Chris Adamec allow her
to assist at various events to
give back to the community on
behalf of Adamec. The HOG
ON THE SIDE
OF VICTIMS!!
AUGUST 2015
helps
advertise
Chapter
events, getting word out to
other clubs who also participate. “Almost every event we
do is for non-profits, for charity. We have a weekly cookout
– we provide the food and different biker clubs prepare it.
Proceeds go to children’s hosveterans’
homes,
pitals,
Wreaths Across America (an
that
places
organization
wreaths on graves of veterans
in honor of their sacrifice) and
other charitable organizations.
I feel honored to be a part of
this generous, community-oriented business.”
Besides helping get the
word out to biker participants
in the Ride for Justice, Missy
was a member of the RFJ planning committee, sold tickets,
provided registration information to Lynn Boone at the JC
office,
solicited/obtained
items for the silent auction and
just did whatever was required to make the event successful. She and Lynn made
arrangements for motorcycles
that VIPs without their own
bikes would ride, and Missy
was responsible for all the
drinks – Coke products and
bottled water – that were absolutely necessary on such a
hot day.
She is quick to share credit
with others for all the work
that goes into such an event.
Lynn, other employees at the
JC office and all the wonderful
volunteers worked many
hours – keeping track of registrants, making gift bags (containing tee shirts, coupons
from Adamec and Nothing
Bundt Cakes, and other goodies) for riders, setting up tables, manning the registration
table, and so many other tasks.
Missy, who commutes
from Brunswick, Georgia,
where her husband works at
the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center (FLETC), is
married with four adult children: Eric Rivera, Jr., Taylor
Belyew, Madison Ferra and
Stephanie Rivera. She loves to
ride as a passenger on the motorcycle with her husband
Eric, and they – like most avid
bikers – participate in many
charity events.
This young woman with a
compassionate
heart enjoys working with the Justice
Coalition and applauds the work
we do for victims.
She says, “They
didn’t ask to be in
situation
the
they’re in, but the
Justice Coalition is
there
to
help
them.”

On the Lighter Side ... (Back to School)
Organic Biology
Final Exam
A professor stood before his
class of 20 senior organic biology
students, about to hand out the
final exam.
“I want to say that it’s been a
pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you’ve all
worked extremely hard, and
many of you are off to medical
school after the summer. So that
none of you gets your GPA
messed up because you might
have been celebrating a bit too
much this week, anyone who
would like to opt out of the final
exam today will receive a ‘B’ for
the course.”
There was much rejoicing
amongst the class as students got
up, passed by the professor to
thank him, and signed out on his
offer. As the last taker left the
room, the professor looked out
over the handful of remaining
students and asked, “Anyone
else? This is your last chance.”
One more student rose up and
took the offer.
The professor closed the door
and took attendance of those students remaining. “I’m glad to see
you believe in yourselves,” he
said. “Each of you gets an ‘A.’”

The couple was delighted
when their long wait to adopt a
baby came to an end. The adoption center called and told them
that there was a wonderful
Russian baby boy available. The
couple accepted him without
hesitation.
On the way home from the
adoption center, they stopped by
the local college so they each
could enroll in night courses.
After they filled out the forms,
the registration clerk inquired,
“Whatever possessed you to
study Russian?”
The couple said proudly,
“We just adopted a Russian
