The new crime is defined by our Florida legislature as transporting, soliciting, harboring, maintaining, or obtaining another person for the purpose of the exploitation of that person. In passing this law, the Florida legislature declared that victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor. Our legislature declared its intent to protect the victims of trafficking. Prostitution becomes trafficking when a pimp uses force, fraud, or coercion to maintain control over an adult or child who is providing commercial sexual services. In recent years, the federal government has devoted significant resources to the establishment of task forces and training conferences directed at law enforcement, prosecutors and service providers who deal with human trafficking and their victims. In 2014, the Florida legislature passed new laws to improve the safety and treatment of individual child victims of human sexual trafficking. The state and federal laws reflect a new recognition of the often lifelong victimization of individuals who engage in prostitution. The credible research on this issue is disturbing. Various research studies commissioned during the last 20 years demonstrate that as many as 78 percent of adult prostitutes began prostitution as juveniles and that most children who enter prostitution do so at the age of 14. Almost all (96 percent) prostitutes who began engaging in prostitution as juveniles were runaways. Most of them told researchers they had no other option for making money. In another study, 57 percent of the adult prostitutes reported having been sexually assaulted as children. Looking at the same issue another way, one researcher reported that children who are sexually abused are almost 28 times more likely than non-victims to be arrested for Prostitutes...

The appointees are Katherine Fernandez Rundle, State Attorney for the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida; William Snyder, Sheriff of Martin County; Terry Coonan, Executive Director of the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights; and Dotti Groover Skipper, Chair of the West Florida Community Campaign Against Human Trafficking. “I am pleased to announce these appointees to Florida’s new Statewide Council on Human Trafficking,” Bondi said. “Their experience and expertise will help further our goal of ensuring Florida is a zero tolerance state for human trafficking, and will provide insight into improving care for victims of this horrific crime.” The 15-member Council will be ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI FLORIDA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL chaired by Bondi and will build on existing State and local partnerships working to combat human trafficking. “I am committed to an all-handson-deck approach to eradicating human trafficking. With the involvement of Florida’s top leaders, the Council will work to identify muchneeded care for victims and provide support for the continued prosecution of traffickers,” Bondi said. “I recently returned from a trip to Mexico City with a delegation of several U.S. Attorneys General. My colleagues and I are also working together on an international level to combat this abhorrent crime.” Human Trafficking touches every corner of our state and Florida continues to rank third in the number of calls received by the National Human Trafficking hotline. “Florida’s Human Trafficking victims would be invisible if not for the commitment of advocacy groups and our law enforcement Trafficking...

The Justice Coalition’s Victims’ Advocate • 1 The house that love rebuilt Advocate Scotty McGee began seeking a place for the 72-yearold victim to stay for a few days. One of our board members, Larry Ward, stopped by our office while I was on the phone with Mrs. Williams and he began making calls. Soon we had the house assessed for damage and a long list of things to do. Meanwhile, Mitchel Rivera was arrested and charged with home invasion robbery, burglary, assault and battery. Advocates from the Justice Coalition will be with Mrs. Williams through every step of the justice proceedings – from pre-trial hearings through sentencing. We held a press conference and reached out to you, Jacksonville business owners and citizens, to volunteer and donate items to restore Mrs. Williams’ home. We stand in absolute awe at what you’ve done. Below are just a From the Director by Ann Dugger When I received a call that an elderly woman was the victim of a home invasion and had been beaten, choked, robbed, her identity stolen and then her house set afire a few days later with her in it, I was outraged. When I learned that she had no family and most every possession lost in the fire, I was grieved. When I learned she had nowhere to go once she was released from the medical facility she was in for treatment, I knew something must be done. It broke my heart when Marti Williams told me she couldn’t sleep at night, worrying that she would soon be another homeless victim on the streets of Jacksonville. Victim few photos to show the condition of the house now and the progress made thus far. Within a few days of this publication hitting the streets, we will welcome Mrs. Williams home to her house—the house that your love has rebuilt. God bless you.

Gay Mechanical Contractors Employee Banquet Hall • 524 West Stockton Street Join us the second Tuesday of each month as we continue to lift up the City of Jacksonville to God in prayer. We believe when we meet together and pray we can make a difference. Come be part of that difference. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” — II Chronicles 7:14 “Make a chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.” — Ezekiel 7:23 AUGUST 2014 To Protect and Serve Our monthly recognition for the best of the best Civilian Employee of the Month Police Officer of the Month Amanda M. Burns Samuel N. Bearden Police Supervisor of the Month Brad Gidcumb Brad Gidcumb, Patrol Zone 2 Traffic Sergeant (Arlington area), and Community and Media Relations Specialist Amanda Burns (Public Information Unit) are honored together for their roles following the Mathews Bridge incident that occurred last year. Amanda is essentially the “back office” for the Unit, where she writes news releases and web stories, develops community education pieces, and updates JSO’s website and social media channels, among other responsibilities – all in an effort to effectively communicate with JSO employees and Jacksonville citizens. When in late 2011 the Mathews Bridge maintenance project began, Brad handled the traffic side of things while Amanda created/updated a page on JSO’s website that kept the public informed of scheduled bridge closures. Then last September 26 a Navy-owned cargo ship being towed by tug boats ran into the Mathews Bridge, causing structural damage. Prompted by excellent response of fire and police personnel in the area, the bridge was closed and traffic IMMEDIATELY detoured. The bridge was closed for nearly five weeks, inconveniencing more than 56,000 citizens during daily commutes. Immediately following the incident Brad closed the bridge using cones and barricades already in place for the maintenance project. While Amanda’s colleague at the time, former PIO Shannon Hartley, was assigned to address the media, Amanda attended logistics meetings to learn the agency’s next steps. She frequently updated JSO’s website, social media sites and reporters covering the story (providing a bona fide source for their information) in an effort to continuously inform the public. As the scene shifted from emergency response to a long-term detour plan, Brad transitioned the more costly on-duty units off the Mathews Bridge detour and replaced them with off-duty traffic officers, whose costs were paid by the contractors. Also, he identified critical intersections that needed to be manually worked during rush hour traffic for the duration of the closure – an essential part of any major traffic operation. Amanda’s contribution to the operation was critical, keeping the public informed about what was going on with the Mathews Bridge incident itself, the detours, and any updates on recommended alternative routes, based on feedback from traffic officers. The first big hurdle was the Jaguars home game on Sept. 29, just days after the impact. Amanda worked with the Special Events Division to provide suggestions on how fans could access the Sports Complex area if they usually entered downtown via the Mathews Bridge. Following a news conference, she worked with the Jaguars Communications Department and the City’s Public Affairs Office to make sure the message was pushed out, using every medium possible. The Florida Department of Transportation was a tremendous partner in both facilitating the event and managing repairs, and in keeping PIOs updated. Amanda and her colleagues monitored citizen complaints and feedback that came in through JSO’s social media channels, and she also provided information from her daily travels on the Hart Bridge Expressway. This feedback was then relayed to Brad enabling him to make more tweaks to the traffic pattern. According to Assistant Chief Leonard Propper, sources of valid traffic information were so accurate and informative that JSO led the city’s traffic engineering personnel as they adjusted more than 50 traffic signals throughout the city. Also, Propper shared with Amanda his idea to turn the Hart Bridge traffic one way into the Sports Complex area for the Oct. 20 Jaguars game – something never done before. She worked with Special Events to finalize public education pieces needed to effectively communicate this plan. Propper said, “Sergeant Brad Gidcumb and Amanda Burns… [used] their expertise to mitigate the inconvenience to the public in daily traffic AND communicate traffic information to the general public…no one gets great things accomplished in this agency without a lot of teamwork. Amanda and Brad were both supported by great teams and good leaders throughout this event. But it is the work of these two, individually and together, that made the Mathews Bridge collision and subsequent traffic issues manageable…they worked tirelessly every day the bridge was closed to help the community find the best way to work and home. Both employees working together with solution oriented goals are the example of Always Improving and Community Focused.” Civilian Employee of the Month Doug Castro Air Conditioning and Heating Technician Doug Castro, assigned to the Montgomery Correctional Center, is recognized for his hard work and dedication. His job includes overseeing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) for the 14 inmate housing dorms and the 12 additional buildings at the prison. He is sometimes called outside of normal business hours to service the system and also maintains an inventory of parts to quickly respond to issues – necessary during the summer months. Maintenance Supervisor Frank Bass said, “Doug does a tremendous job and goes above and beyond his duties to ensure the MCC remains a premier correctional facility.” He is dedicated to JSO’s Core Values of Always Improving, taking classes so he knows the latest information regarding these systems. He is working toward his Associate of Science Degree in Business Administration and plans to work for his Bachelor of Science Degree. Corrections Lieutenant Jason Rogers said, “Doug’s positive and upbeat attitude lifts the morale of the maintenance team at MCC. His dedication to continuing his education helps me stay on track with my own educational goals. I understand how difficult it is to work, raise a family and spend countless hours completing your studies. Doug should be recognized for being a role model in our department.” AUGUST 2014 Detective Sam Bearden, assigned to Investigations Division, Robbery Unit, is recognized for work leading to arrests in two Armed Robbery cases last December on Jacksonville’s west side. The first victim, selling a PlayStation 4 on Craigslist, had received a text message from an individual wanting to buy the gaming system, and two suspects went to the victim’s home to purchase the system. When they arrived, the victim walked outside to the suspects’ burgundy Nissan driven by a male with a pregnant female passenger. When the victim approached the passenger side, the female informed him the driver had a gun and would shoot him if he ran. The driver did indeed have a medium-sized semi-automatic handgun held low and pointed at him. The victim handed the woman the PlayStation 4 through the car window and the suspects fled the scene. When Bearden met with the victim, he provided the phone number used during the call. Then a few days later Sam was assigned another similar case – an individual selling an Xbox One on Craigslist. The victim agreed to meet the purchaser in a public parking lot, and as he arrived, two suspects drove up in a red car. The male suspect asked the victim to bring the Xbox to his car so he could pay for it. The victim carried it to the driver’s side, at which point the man pointed a semi-automatic handgun at him and demanded the Xbox. The victim placed it on the ground and fled the scene. During this incident a third person was noted in the vehicle: a second male in the backseat. During his interview with the victim, Sam once again obtained the phone number used by the suspect – the one used in the first case! The Crime Analysis Unit linked the number to a female whose photograph Sam then obtained. In a photo spread the victim positively identified the woman as the one in the passenger seat of the car. The next day Sam saw an ad on Craigslist for both a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox gaming system, the contact number for the seller listing the same number used in the two robberies. Bearden contacted the suspects, arranged to meet them under the pretext of purchasing the two gaming systems and devised a plan with his supervisors to apprehend the suspects. Two males and a pregnant female arrived at a parking lot on the Westside in a burgundy Nissan sedan. All three individuals were taken into custody by members of JSO’s SWAT team and transported to the police station for questioning. Although no confessions were made, both victims identified the male suspect who threatened them with a handgun. A pellet gun (replica of a black semi-automatic handgun) was recovered in the car, along with an Xbox One, the box with the serial number belonging to the PlayStation 4 stolen from the victim, as well as marijuana and crack cocaine. The vehicle was seized for forfeiture and the male and female were arrested for two counts of Armed Robbery as well as narcotics-related charges. Both suspects pled guilty to the robberies and are currently serving prison time. The third subject in this case was released because neither victim could positively identify him. Supervisor Sgt. David Smith said, “Detective Bearden relied on his vast experience as an investigator and utilized numerous investigative tools and resources to solve these crimes. He worked with several different groups within our organization and demonstrated excellent leadership and teamwork in coordinating JSO’s efforts to incarcerate these suspects.” Corrections Supervisor of the Month Jeffery J. Whitmore Corrections Sergeant Jeffery (J.J.) Whitmore, Watch Two supervisor at the Community Transition Center, is recognized for his overall leadership and for building morale among his employees. That particular Watch had undergone changes due to the sudden, unexpected death of Lt. J.W. Pope, followed by numerous retirements. Prior to the departures, this group of individuals had worked side by side for at least ten years. J.J.’s challenge when stepping into this new role was to help build the morale and blend new officers and supervisors together. He coordinated shift gatherings, prepared weekend breakfasts and ensured that his employees knew he was there to listen if they ever needed to talk to someone. In addition to helping build morale, J.J. established an excellent rapport with the inmate populace. Inmates housed at the CTC confide in him and take comfort in knowing that he will professionally address their concerns or resolve any problems that may occur. He is often observed talking to inmates assigned to his area, challenging them to make better decisions and work toward positive resolutions. Corrections Lt. Autumn Flemming said about J.J.: “With his leadership style, sense of humor, and ability to relate to each of the different personalities, he was able to quickly unite Watch Two and restore the camaraderie and trust we have for each other. Although morale is the responsibility of a supervisor under normal circumstances, this instance was not normal. The newly restored respect and trust for each other has brought about a significant improvement in teamwork, productivity, professionalism, and customer service among the Watch.” Letters to the Editor are welcome!

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 crime, Ted found the criminal 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 crime in the Fourth Judicial court system.

In one study, 76 percent of the prostitutes reported that they came from families that regularly attended church. This new recognition of the plight that prostitutes face has resulted in major public policy shifts in how our society officially responds to sex trafficking and its victims. We have seen the changes in federal and state legislation reflecting a new approach. It is interesting to note that law enforcement strategies, based on the same new analysis, are also changing in communities across the country. In the next article, we will discuss one such law enforcement program that produced major positive results in one American city. statewide role on the Human Trafficking Council,” Rundle said. “The trafficking of human beings is an act so inhumane that no civilized society can rest until all vestiges of it are eradicated. As a member of the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, I intend to advocate for the rescue and rehabilitation of victims, and for the strongest possible punishment for traffickers,” Sheriff Snyder said. The Council will hold its first meeting later this summer. Members will include law enforcement officers, prosecutors, legislators, as well as experts in the fields of health, education and social services. The Council was created through legislation passed and signed into law earlier this year. — Jay Howell, a Jacksonville attorney, has been a State Prosecutor, a US Senate Investigator and the founder of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Being aware and raising awareness are the first steps toward eliminating this modern form of sexual slavery. I am proud that our effort to create an innovative trauma-informed prosecution model in Miami for Human Trafficking cases may become a model for the state and the country. I would like to thank the Attorney General for appointing me to this important Civil Commitment for sexual predators By Angela Corey State Attorney On July 1, a new law went into effect that is designed to help local and state agencies better protect the community from sexual offenders and predators. The law essentially closes a loophole and allows the State Attorney’s Office (SAO) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF), to review sex crime offenders who commit a new crime, which may not even be sexually motivated, and to evaluate whether that offender needs treatment at Florida’s Civil Commitment Center (FCCC). The FCCC is located in Arcadia, Florida, and is a secure treatment facility for those who have been deemed a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP). While housed at the FCCC, SVPs receive specialized treatment with the hopes that one day they can return to society and are no longer a threat. Before the new law went into effect, only those in prison, who were approaching their release date, were evaluated by experts on whether they were still dangerous to society. If the inmate was deemed dangerous, a recommendation was passed along to our office, and the SAO then decided whether to petition a commitment on that defendant. The final decision on whether an offender was sent to the commitment center was left up to a jury or a judge. With the new changes to the law, the SAO can now recommend that sex offenders serving a jail sentence be evaluated by the experts to determine if they are dangerous. You could say it’s a new tool we can use to better protect the community. There are more than 500 individuals housed at the commitment center. We are proud to tell you that our office (SAO 4th) ranks number one in the state for sending SVPs to indefinite civil commitment at the FCCC. At last report, there are 575 SVPs committed to the FCCC – 57 of those cases are from the Fourth Circuit. The SAO 4th also has 15 detainees (respondents awaiting trial), which is the highest number in the state. The rankings were compiled by the FCCC. Statistics show the Fourth Judicial Circuit is responsible for 10 percent of SVPs committed to the FCCC. Orlando is responsible for eight percent of the SVPs. Miami has sent seven percent to the FCCC. Tampa’s circuit is responsible for three percent of the population. We are proud of the work the SAO 4th’s SVP Division has done and continues to do in the Fourth Judicial Circuit.

Elder abuse is any form of mistreatment that results in harm or loss to an older person. It is generally divided into the following categories: •Physical abuse is physical force that results in bodily injury, pain, or impairment. It includes assault, battery, and inappropriate restraint. •Sexual abuse is non-consensual sexual contact of any kind with an older person. •Domestic violence is an escalating pattern of violence by an intimate partner where the violence is used to exercise power and control. •Psychological abuse is the willful infliction of mental or emotional anguish by threat, humiliation, or other verbal or nonverbal conduct. •Financial abuse is the illegal or improper use of an older person’s funds, property, or resources. •Neglect is the failure of a caregiver to fulfill his or her caregiving responsibilities. Self-neglect is failure to provide for one’s own essential needs. How big a problem is it? Although estimates vary, it is generally believed that 4-6 percent of the elderly are abused. According to the National Incidence Study on Elder Abuse, approximately 450,000 elderly experienced abuse in 1996 nationwide. If self-neglect is included, the number is 551,000. How serious a problem is it? The personal losses associated with abuse can be devastating and include the loss of independence, homes, life savings, health, dignity, and security. Victims of abuse have been shown to have shorter life expectancies than non-abused older people. What are the signs and symptoms of Elder Abuse? Experts note that there are some signs of abuse, neglect or exploitation which might alert family members, concerned friends or professionals to the possibility of problems. The secret word is harvest. No one should jump to conclusions, but signs and symptoms should be taken seriously. What sometimes seems to be self-neglect often turns out to be elder abuse. Among the signs to watch for: 1. Discrepancies between a person’s standard of living and his/her financial assets, or a depletion of assets without adequate explanation. Money or personal items such as eyeglasses, jewelry, hearing aids, or dentures are missing without explanation, 2.Malnourishment and inadequate physical care, including dehydration or lack of food, poor hygiene, urine sores, or bed sores, or oversedation. 3.Physical injuries, such as bruises, burn marks, welts, rope burns, tufts of hair missing, broken bones, none of which can be adequately explained. 4. Withdrawn, apathetic, fearful, or anxious behavior, particularly around certain persons. The victim may suddenly and without explanation express a desire not to visit or receive visits from family or friends. 5. Medical needs not attended to. 6. Sudden, unexplained changes in the victim’s living arrangements, such as a younger person moving in to “care for” them shortly after meeting. It is frequently very difficult to detect abuse. Typically, abusive behavior occurs in private and the victim may be unwilling or unable to describe the attacks. When reports are made, they are frequently not believed. 3225 Anniston Road • Jacksonville, FL 32246 641-2055 “Serving the First Coast Since 1970” License CUCO32666 NEEDS YOUR HELP to locate these children angela jennings Missing since 3/7/14 savannah long Missing since 5/23/14 cortez mitchell Missing since 12/20/13 erika collins Missing since 3/10/14 lakenya calloway Missing since 7/7/14 alexander winhard Missing since 7/15/14 Have You Seen Them?

My overriding goal with this budget is to protect our taxpayers and invest in Jacksonville’s future. This is a dynamic time for our city. Our unemployment rate is falling and our high school graduation rate is rising. Foreclosures are down and home values are up. Our businesses are investing, our port is expanding and our college-educated population is growing. Our downtown is coming alive, our neighborhoods are getting rid of blight and our parks are being enjoyed by millions of visitors. In short, we are a city of opportunity. But we still have much work to do to make our city what we want it to be. To get there, we must invest in key priorities. These include creating more good jobs, revitalizing our downtown and enhancing our quality of life by supporting our neighborhoods, parks and libraries. Public safety must also be a top priority, because the first duty of any government is to protect its citizens. That is why I support Sheriff Rutherford’s Operation Ceasefire anti-violence campaign. Our laws must be enforced, and lawbreakers must be held accountable. To do that, Sheriff Rutherford and I have partnered on a proposed budget that will allow the Sheriff’s Office to hire 40 additional police officers and 40 additional community service officers. To be effective, our officers also need the right training and support to do their job. That is why this budget will also invest in upgrading the JSO firing range and training facility. Just as we must be tough on crime by giving law enforcement the tools it needs, we must also be tough on the causes of crime. As a city of opportunity, we must invest in education and our young people. As mayor, I am focused on helping young people by providing positive opportunities so they can succeed in school and stay out of trouble.In this budget, we are adding resources to expand our Summer Jobs program for teens and offer more summer camp and after-school opportunities for our children. These are smart investments in our kids. They are smart investments in crime prevention. And they are smart investments in our future. We have reached a point in the life of our community when we must seize the moment to use our resources to make not only a better today, but a better tomorrow for Jacksonville. This is the spirit that should guide us as we lead Jacksonville forward as a city of opportunity. is expected to go to that hiring portal and learn more about the requirements and apply online.

Keep an eye out for that phone number and I hope you will call in, send us your tweets and questions! Work for justice and live with honor By Sheriff John Rutherford We are hiring at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. I know this is hard for you to believe, given all the news about budget cuts and layoffs, but like any organization, natural attrition occurs in our ranks as well. People retire and some people leave to go work at other agencies. Some folks come to work here and learn that the work is too demanding on them or they can’t handle overnight shift work and a 7/24 operation. It isn’t for everyone – working in corrections; as a civilian in our 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center; or being a police officer. But those positions have to be filled. Especially in the corrections arena, where our employees work a lot of fixed post assignments. We have a unique approach to hiring; one that many business executives tell me they share: WE HIRE FOR CHARACTER AND TRAIN FOR EXCELLENCE. I operate one of the best training academy’s to be found. But before we spend time and money training people in the classroom or on the firing range, or out on patrol shadowing a veteran officer, or going into the communications center or jail to take care of citizens… before we do ANY of that, we have to pick the right people – honest; dedicated; committed to excellence; worthy of trust (yours and ours) and “eyes wide open” that they are headed into the toughest job they will ever love. I can think of no greater career than law enforcement. Like many of my colleagues, I consider this a calling.

After one year Serdarus Scott, the driver of the car that killed Janya, was sentenced to serve 10 years for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and five years for driving with a license suspended or revoked. His girlfriend, Ariel Siplin, was sentenced to twelve months for charges of accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence. While this will never bring back their little girl, they—and we—are thankful justice has been served for Janya. AUGUST 2014 Janya Solomon More ways to connect with citizens Late last month I unveiled three new programs for enhanced citizen engagement with the police. I hope you will avail yourselves of these new applications and become connected to us as never before! First – check out our new CALLS FOR POLICE SERVICE website at http:// callsforservice.jaxsheriff.org – this is intended to be for public information only, it’s not specifics about cases and doesn’t include any calls that might be exempt by law, but it does afford the public an opportunity to see all the police activity in our city in real time. There is a slight delay to afford for officer safety as they handle the calls, and it is updated every two minutes, with completed calls changing colors.

This application The Justice Coalition’s Victims’ Advocate • 7 is proudly sponsored by: www.elkinsconstructors.com By Lisa Root This month’s Hats Off goes to Gerald Peterson – just in time for his birthday! Born August 8, 1930, Mr. Peterson will be 84 years old. Despite arthritis that sometimes threatens to keep him in his favorite chair at home, he insists on coming once a month to the Justice Coalition office to pick up hundreds of newspapers for delivery. Born in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, he was raised in Jacksonville. One of nine children, he had a very hard life growing up; his dad was an alcoholic and his parents divorced when he was very young. His mom was a school teacher who worked extra hours as a seamstress to help support her family. As the children grew, they worked odd jobs to help their mother pay the bills. Though he only attended school through the 8th grade, he and his siblings developed a strong work ethic that stayed with them their whole lives. His daughter Patty recalls that her father and aunts and uncles were “always hard workers and very well respected.” As a teen he delivered newspapers on his bike in the Panama Park area of the north side. A certain young lady in the neighborhood had a crush on this paper boy and would get dressed up and wait for him on her porch. When only 16 years old Gerald joined the Army and was sent to fight in the Korean War. He sent his paycheck home to his mother. Later in life he was a railroad man for more than 20 years and retired from CSX as a switchman. Gerald married his childhood sweetheart, Mary Lou, in the summer of 1953, when he was 22 and his wife 19. They were married 55 years until she died in 2005. When his sweetheart became ill, he took care of her and did the cooking and cleaning. Together they had raised five children, losing one son to Henry Gerald Peterson Leukemia a few years ago.

Gerald always did odd jobs on the side. He called it scrapping—buying odds and ends at auctions to bring home and create something with, but his wife called it “junking.” Patty said he has always had some kind of workshop, first in the home where they lived in Riverview, and now in Oceanway. He still has a little woodshop outside his house where he goes and “tinkers.” Talented with his hands, he has built tables, shelves, cabinets and much more. At times his arthritis bothers him, but otherwise he is always active. He recently put a bike together from scraps for one of his seven grandchildren. He also has 11 great grandchildren, one adopted from Ghana by his son who is a pastor in another state, and he has a newborn grandchild to love on. Gerald would go to the Eckerd’s Drugstore and help the manager with small chores such as gathering shopping carts from the parking lot – never accepting payment other than the joy it brought to him personally. He would see the Victims’ Advocate newspaper and eventually began delivering them to places he frequented. He always likes giving to people and helping out where he can. He saw a need at Justice Coalition about eight years ago and began delivering this newspaper to the places he frequented, primarily on the north side. Still determined to put important information into the hands of citizens of the community, he has expanded his services and, with the help of his daughter Patty, is now going into Nassau County. Wherever he would have a need to go – restaurant, a doctor’s office, etc. – he would take papers. Though Patty says she has never seen him with so much as a beer in his hand, she said he loves to smoke his pipe and makes sure his favorite cigar shop is well-stocked with Victims’ Advocate newspapers.

She had called out to her stay-at-home mother a few times with no response. Without a hint of the nightmare that had occurred on the second floor of her home while she was going about her normal school day, she headed up the steps to locate her mother and talk about her day. Nearing the top of the steps, Suzanne saw her mother’s legs and feet contorted on the floor and, without another glance, ran back down the stairs and across the street into a neighbor’s arms. Today Suzanne struggles to recall any details about that traumatic moment, but an article in the Times Union a number of years ago described the scene this way: “A rope was wrapped around the 39-year-old woman’s neck and through her Scotty runs the race for Terry Sikes The 2nd Annual Terry Sikes Memorial Run was held at Jacksonville Beach on Saturday, July 12. Terry was an avid runner who had a huge heart for people in general; teens in particular. He was part of a local running club before becoming a victim of hit-and-run by a couple of thugs on a crime spree in July, 2013. His best friend and wife, Bonita, created the run last year as a way to keep his memory alive by benefitting others. This event raises funds to help send a few local high school athletes with good grades to summer running camps, where they will learn the value of team building and personal health and nutrition. Last year’s recipient went on to lead his school’s running team to state competition. This year, they raised funds enough to send three students to a running camp in North Carolina. Scotty McGee, Victim Advocate for the Sikes family, not only supports them by being Bonita Sikes and Scotty McGee with them in court and many other ways, he showed up to the memorial run to help raise funds. He put his former NFL experience to work and raced down the beach pushing his young twins in their stroller. “Scotty has been with us since the beginning and it was great that he could join us for the run,” Benita said. mouth, like a bit on a horse. A paring knife and an ice pick were repeatedly thrust into her body, which laid face down on her bedroom floor. “The killer smeared the bloody fingers of one hand between her shoulder blades. He left the knife on her back,” Jim Schoettler reported. Detectives on the case have come and gone over the years, but the ones on the scene that day described this murder as the most horrific they had ever seen. They gathered evidence, followed leads, interviewed suspects and even had a confession from a known serial killer at the time. Henry Lee Lucas was from Blacksburg, Virginia, and had been a victim of abuse at the hands of his mother, a prostitute who neglected him, dressed him in girl’s clothing, and even forced him to watch her performing sexual acts with men. When Lucas was 24 years old, he and his mother got into a fight resulting in her death. A jury found him guilty and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. However, in 1970, he was released due to prison overcrowding after just ten years. A demented and deranged killer at a young age, he made his way to Jacksonville and hooked up with a man named Ottis Toole, who was also a heartless murderer. They later made their way out to Texas and lived back and forth between Florida and Texas, killing people all along their crooked path. Lucas seemed a likely suspect, especially with a confession, but the evidence did not match his story and, like he Josephine Canter and her two daughters, Shuri Smith and Suzanne Speight. did with many of his confessions, he recanted. Detectives had a much more likely suspect, though, closer to home and the evidence seemed to point directly at him. His name was Ken Canode—Nancy’s husband of just a year and a half. The two met at the First Baptist Church of Jacksonville and were both very involved in church and community; Ken was a Sunday School teacher. They later became involved in a church nearer their home in Ponte Vedra. Ken worked as an insurance salesman in the Koger Center, allowing for Nancy to stay home and tend to her children and the household. However, Canode had some financial issues that ultimately concerned Nancy and put an incredible strain on their marriage. She had become very upset and revealed to her older daughter, Shuri, that he owed a “lot of money to some really bad men.” Shortly before Nancy’s murder, Ken took out a life insurance policy on her for $200,000. Within two months, she was dead. There was no sign of forced entry. She had no enemies. Rape was reported in the Paid Advertisement The Law Office of John M. Phillips Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Attorneys Last month, I stood before a jury and explained what the 7th Amendment to our Constitution says. It says when someone is injured at the hands of another, the Bill of Rights gives that person a Promissory Note—a promise that the civil justice system will make that person as whole as possible. I explained to the six volunteers that the heart of that system is them, the Jury. They get to decide what amount is on that Promissory Note as there is not an invoice I can submit to document one’s sacrifice, loss or pain. We leave that very tough job to them. It took almost three years to get that case before a jury, who ultimately reached a unanimous verdict that my client was due $2.6 million dollars for the injuries and losses she sustained.* There it was—for an instant—closure. Sure, motions may be filed, appeals may be sought, and the end may still be uncertain. But for that moment in time, six people who were once strangers knew my client better than even her closest friends and decided her losses were real and serious. (904) 444-4444 | I stood there, as I often do, ready to hold a hand, share a smile, wipe a tear or simply know I did my job. After three intense years, my client and I hugged in open court, relieved. In that moment, there was nothing more to say. The jury had spoken the final words necessary. There are many traits that define good trial lawyers such as preparation, verbal skills, argument, and presence. I like to think my best quality is compassion. As I understand the Promissory Note is more than money. It is recognition, guaranteed by our Constitution, that our peers determine justice. They don’t always get it right, but it is an amazing system when it works. It is my honor to get to be a part of it. John selected as... w w w.

Every case is different and each client’s case must be evaluated and handled on its own merits. AUGUST 2014 media early on, but no signs of rape were found in the autopsy. Canode had left a note to his wife that morning that he was heading to Georgia on business and eyewitness reports did put him there at some point during the day. But after all the evidence gathered and investigation complete, only one person seemed likely to have committed the crime. Ken Canode. At the time, DNA technology was not available, thus making the evidence circumstantial and insufficient for prosecution. However, about ten years ago, Shuri Dubberly Smith and Suzanne Speight, began pressing St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office to reopen their mother’s case and bring the killer to justice. With technology available, detectives set out to get justice for Nancy. They ran into more challenges, as some of the evidence had not been preserved to today’s specifications. In 2010, money was given to law enforcement to help solve cold cases and Detective Sean Tice took on Nancy’s case with a determination to put the killer behind bars. He discovered Ken Canode had been married several times since Nancy’s death and had moved to Texas. Canode even changed his last name to Alexander. Det. Tice’s investigation revealed that his ex-wives all had similar complaints regarding money, as well as physical abuse, and they all seemed to deeply hate him; even calling him the best con man they’d ever known. Whether it was Nancy’s widower or someone else who committed this heinous crime, Det. Tice is not giving up on putting a killer behind bars no matter how old the case is. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office is actively working on leads and encourages anyone who may have any information regarding Nancy Canode’s murder to call 904824-8304 as soon as possible. Thirty three years after this beautiful woman’s unnecessary death, the family still grieves. They still want answers. They still want justice. And on behalf of Nancy, her family, the late Sheriff Neil Perry, the detectives who worked on the case over the years and especially for Mrs. Josephine Canter, so does Det. Sean Tice.
