Human Trafficking and
the Link to Child Abuse
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month,
and it is a frightening thought that no state is exempt
from Human Trafficking. As of June 2015, our state of
Florida had a reported 191 cases of Human Trafficking, and 364 cases reported in Florida in 2014.
The Exchange Club Family Center Of Northeast
Florida will tackle the topic of Human Trafficking (as
it relates to children) in its 23rd Annual Child Abuse
Prevention Luncheon and Conference on Wednesday,
April 20, 2016.
The theme, Connecting The Dots, will explore the
link between Child Abuse and Human Trafficking.
The Keynote Speaker for the daylong conference will
be renowned human rights activist and University of
Central Florida’s DeVos Sport Business Management
Program Chair and Professor, Dr. Richard Lapchick.
“Child Human Trafficking needs to stop, but unless we acknowledge its presence here in the United
States and address it full on, it will continue,” says
Prudence Williams, Program Director for The Exchange Club Family Center. “To bring together so
many experts, including Dr. Lapchick, we will be able
to have a meaningful dialog on how to recognize it
and stop it here in Florida.”
The conference will feature panelists and speakers who are on the frontline of child abuse prevention
and human trafficking. In addition to Dr. Lapchick,
Kristin Keen, Founder and President of Rethreaded,
Inc., in Jacksonville, is Honorary Chairperson for the
conference. The conference will educate, inspire and
support those who work with children, whether they
are teachers, social workers, law enforcement, coaches
or others. Attendees will also earn continuing education credits (CEUs).
Registration for the conference is now open, with
early registration prices in effect until April 5. Tickets
for the full-day conference and luncheon are $100
($145 After April 5). You can attend the luncheon only
for $50 ($65 after April 5), or either the morning or afternoon session (no luncheon) for $25 each ($40 after
April 5).
The luncheon and conference will take place from
8 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Jacksonville Marriott, 4670 Salisbury Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256.
To register for the conference, sponsor the event,
or for more information, visit www.exchangeclubfamilycenter.com. The Exchange Club Family Center
of Northeast Florida offers free, in-home Parent Aide
services to at-risk families across Jacksonville’s First
Coast to deter child abuse and strengthen families.

the Child Abuse Prevention Conference in April, to
coincide with Child Abuse Prevention Month.

For most of us the year 2015 was probably just a succession of days too quickly slipping by, but to families whose loved ones
were murdered, those days were anything
but a routine passage of time. According to
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
there were 99 murders in 2015 – citizens of
all ages cut down by bullets from drive-by
shooters, by gang members seeking revenge
or validation, by criminals ruthlessly eliminating any opposition to their wicked
agenda, by acquaintances retaliating in
anger, even by husbands or wives in the
middle of domestic violence situations.
Too many of these victims were young people,
some perhaps having made unwise decisions about
friends or activities, wanting to be accepted by their
peers, or simply were in the wrong place at the wrong
time. Some, tragically, were totally innocent little ones
whose parents’ selfish, destructive lifestyles left no
room for the children they produced. Appalled by the
blatant disregard of those babies’ welfare, we continue
to mourn their loss.
A bright spot in the gloom of grief surrounding
these murders – and the trauma of other devastating
events such as missing children – was the Justice
Coalition’s continued support of families who came to
us for help. By last year’s end our advocates reported
about 100 new cases, affecting at least 350 family members – this in addition to ongoing cases from previous
years playing out in the courtroom or in other phases
of resolution. They logged at least 1,000 hours in the
courtroom last year, most days working on multiple
cases at the same time.
Families come to the Justice Coalition because
they’ve heard about us on TV, or a friend refers them,
or
a JSO detective
or other law enforcement
agency suggests they seek our help. If
a child is missing, the situation is urgent and we immediately take action to publicize pictures and details
about the child, create/distribute flyers, perhaps solicit funds for reward and hold a press conference, all
the while coordinating efforts with detectives working
on the case.
The family of one young lady who suddenly left
her home a few months ago was frantic to find her.
Among other actions, we posted her picture on Facebook and requested viewers to re-post it. More than
300 did so, and within 24 hours someone who saw her
picture recognized her walking on the street in a
nearby town. Thankfully, this story had a happy ending and the young woman returned safely. She later
came in with her mother and sister to visit our office,
and her mother told us how much she appreciated our
quick response and the love and concern shown for
their missing daughter and the remainder of their family.
Usually, if a loved one has been murdered the
family members who come to our office are so traumatized they don’t know which way to turn. SomeVictims (Continued on page 7)
First Responders Affected by Tragedies
By Shirley Shaw
When a shooting occurs, or a stabbing or some
other crime – or when horrific car
crashes injure or take the lives of citizens – we usually learn about them
from television reporters at the
scene. In the background we see policemen, detectives, crime scene
technicians, rescue personnel all filling their various roles as they deal
with the victims, process the scene,
gather evidence and maybe restore
calm to a chaotic situation. And the
reporter relays in as much detail as possible the events
that just occurred.
Most of us probably take these daily scenarios for
granted, but we decided to find out what first responders are thinking and feeling as they professionally
handle their respective jobs. The first one on the scene
of a homicide or car crash is a patrol officer (or two)
dispatched by the 911 operator answering the distress
call. Rescue units are also automatically dispatched
but are staged nearby until officers
secure the scene and it is safe for
them to treat victims.
JSO Assistant Chief Scott
Dingee says depending on the situation, a supervisor (sergeant)
may be dispatched along with the
patrol officers; otherwise, when the
officers arrive, they will notify
their supervisor, who at this point
would request the presence of his
lieutenant. After the sergeant assesses the scene,
he/she is responsible to request detectives, evidence
technicians and (for a homicide) the on-call Assistant
Responders (Continued on page 5)

January: HumanTrafficking Awareness Month
By Ann Dugger, Executive Director
Justice Coalition
Happy New Year! I hope
you all had a blessed Christmas
and are looking ahead with anticipation to 2016. You always
wonder what the new year will
bring. Sometimes it may be better that we don’t know in advance, but we do know that,
whatever happens, God is in
control.
Although it’s last year’s
news, we want to share with you pictures of two
special events that occurred in December: the [JC]
Chrome Divas Motorcycle ladies’ annual Christmas
party for children who have
been affected
by
violent
crime and Seasons to Remember. Please
see Hats Off (p.9) and STR photos (p.8). Thanks to
all who worked so hard to make Christmas special
for our survivors/victims’ families.
Amid all the fun and festivity we’ve recently
enjoyed, we must remember that for many children
(and adults) the holidays held no joy for them – they
are victims of human trafficking, held captive in the
most horrible circumstances. January is Human
Trafficking Awareness month; specifically January
11 is designated a day to remember these victims.
According to Michelle S. Klimt, Special Agent
in Charge, FBI Jacksonville Division, “The commer-
cial sex trafficking of children is a devastating crime
that impacts communities across the country. In
2003, the FBI launched the Innocence Lost National
Initiative to enhance communication between law
enforcement agencies and educate the public on the
problem of child sexual exploitation. Today, task
forces across the country more readily share intelligence to help identify, disrupt and/or dismantle organized criminal enterprises. Our goal is to recover
their innocent victims and end this heinous crime.”
JSO Lt. Jackson Short says, “Human trafficking
is an issue in our area that we continue to address.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office co-chairs the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Coalition (NFHTC)
which is a partnership between all levels of law enforcement and community service providers. In
2015, the JSO opened several domestic sex trafficking cases at the U.S. Attorney’s Office that resulted
in numerous federal indictments that are currently
progressing through the criminal justice system.
Drug addiction continues to be a driving factor
dominating the lives of the victims and we rely on
our community partners to help the victims with
their addictions.”
Marjorie Phillips, also a member of the
NFHTC, tells us activities pertaining to human trafficking will include “a gathering on January 20 at
City Rescue Mission. Networking, with various organizations displaying info (including Justice Coalition) begins at 5pm; the formal program begins at
5:45pm. Sheriff Williams will speak and a panel will
discuss progress made in 2015 and where we are
headed [in 2016]. The event is open to the public.”
We hope you will have the time to participate
in this event. Please read the following information
about this horrendous crime that affects so many
people.

United Nations has begun to highlight this topic and is
working toward global awareness. Facts about Human Trafficking Awareness
• There are 21-30 million people in slavery today. This
is more than at any time in human history (Source:
freetheslaves.net).
• According to UNICEF, 2 million children are estimated
to be trafficking victims of sex trade each year.
• The average age of a girl being forced into the US domestic sex slavery market is 13.
• The average cost of a slave around the world is $90.

JANUARY 2016
TO PROTECT AND SERVE
Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Police Supervisor of the Month
Mike Taylor
Zone 4 Police Sergeant Mike Taylor received recognition for his leadership and response during a search
for a five-year old boy after it was reported he did not
get off the bus at home. On Monday, August 24, 2015,
officers were dispatched to an elementary school on the
Westside regarding the search for a missing child. Taylor responded and used all resources available to him
including a bloodhound, air unit, patrol officers and
volunteers to search the facility. School staff provided
information that the boy was in the bus line, but no one could recall if the child
actually boarded the bus.
Taylor developed a plan for officers to canvass all bus routes, search the
buses and canvass the neighborhood where the child lives. Meanwhile he coordinated with the Missing Persons Unit to create a bulletin and do a reverse
911 to residents in the area. Ultimately the child was located at a neighbor’s
apartment and it was determined that the mother had gone to a different bus
stop. The bus driver who saw the mother instructed her to go to the school.
Meanwhile the child, who was on the correct bus, got off at the stop and went
to a neighbor’s house when no one was at home.
“Sergeant Taylor’s quick command of the scene and utilization of resources
immediately available to him led to the quick location of a missing child,” said
Police Lieutenant Michael Eason.
Reserve Officer of the Month
Sabrina Rutland
Reservist Sabrina Rutland is recognized for her commitment and dedication to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Jacksonville. She volunteered a
total of 628 hours from January 1 to July 30: 165 hours
working special events, 105 hours in patrol and 45
hours of emergency call outs.
In late July Rutland, who is trained in Incident Command System, assisted Sergeant Travis Cox at the command post for the Lonzie Barton search. As a force
multiplier she helped with various roles including Planning and
Logistics. Within a 10-day span, she volunteered five days, working a total of
49 hours, some of which came after she worked all day at her full-time job.
Sergeant Cox said, “Officer Rutland quickly became a valuable member of
the incident Management Team and displayed a work ethic that was second to
none. She displayed a positive attitude throughout the long hours of the operation and continually made herself available to help all members of the team
with tasks that needed to be done.”
In addition, Rutland was credited by Reserve Sergeants Louis Livatino and
Scott Newsom for consolidating and reorganizing the tracking of reserve officers’ hours in the system and for preparing a presentation to inform the unit of
the revised process.
Civilian Supervisor of the Month
Michael R. Potter
Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Gail
West is honored for using her training to assist law enforcement in bringing a case to successful conclusion.
Last July 1 Police Sergeant O’Neal reached out to West
regarding a missing endangered person case that officers were working, asking her to contact the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) to see if this
individual was traveling on a JTA bus. While talking to
a JTA dispatcher, West provided a description of the
missing person and his/her last known location. The
dispatcher put out an “all callout” for the individual and notified the downtown station to be on a lookout.
Meanwhile, O’Neal provided a picture to West, who distributed the photograph to the Zone 1 substation for distribution to all on-duty personnel. Just
after 4 p.m., JTA’s dispatcher notified her that they located the individual on a
JTA bus. West relayed the route information so units could stop the bus and
successfully retrieve the missing person without incident.
Police Emergency Communications Lieutenant Ruth Allen said, “Due to the
teamwork displayed between JSO and JTA, and Sergeant West’s expertise and
quick thinking, this missing person was recovered unharmed.”
Police Officer of the Month
Adam R. Boyd
Zone 2 Patrol & Enforcement Division Officer Adam
Boyd is recognized for his proactive policing efforts,
hard work and leadership that was evident during several events that took place last year. In March and April
2015, his hard work resulted in the seizure of several
slabs of crack cocaine, more than 22 grams of cocaine,
36 grams of marijuana, two Vicodin pills, drug paraphernalia, two firearms and multiple arrests.
On April 10, while serving as the person in charge
of his squad, Boyd heard a call being dispatched for an armed suicidal subject
threatening to kill others. He immediately contacted responding officers and
developed an action plan, researched prior calls at that address and updated
the strategy. Due to his guidance the officers were able to take the subject into
custody without incident.
In addition, Boyd has been credited for leading by example while training
three new officers assigned to work patrol in Zone 2. Sergeant Jonathan
Yarbrough said, “Officer Boyd’s continuous proactive policing efforts, excellent
instincts, and his ability to lead the squad by example are absolute assets to the
JSO team and Zone 2. Officer Boyd has faithfully served on several occasions
as Patrolman in Charge and done so with excellence.”
Corrections Officer of the Month
Terry L. McWhorter
Corrections Sergeant Terry McWhorter, assigned to
work at the Montgomery Correctional Center, is recog-
nized for his professionalism and open line of communication with the inmate population that helped derail
a serious incident last year. In July 2015 an inmate felt
comfortable enough to confide in McWhorter regarding
information another inmate shared with him regarding
his plan to escape from the prison. When McWhorter
researched this particular inmate and his sentence, he
realized that Corrections personnel were not aware of
an amendment to this inmate’s file. Necessary actions were taken and the inmate was moved to a different facility.
In addition, McWhorter was recognized for his hard work as a Correctional
Officer where he was assigned as the Classification / Disciplinary Hearing Officer at the prison. In this role, his responsibilities included enforcing disciplinary restrictions when inmates violated department policies. This interaction
usually results in inmates losing recreation or commissary privileges or even
gaining time. In addition he assisted the Security Unit, investigated Gang and
Intelligence related cases and volunteered to oversee inmate work crews.
“Even though Terry is tasked with enforcing disciplinary actions, he is still
able to maintain great working relationships with the inmates as well,” said
Corrections Lieutenant Stephen Starling. “Inmates consistently give him information. They are comfortable talking to him because he is not only firm, but
he is fair and they feel he cares enough to listen to them.”
Six Pillars of Character Award
Paul Poole
Any Jacksonville Sheriff ’s Office employee who
goes “above and beyond” in demonstrating one of the
Six Pillars of Character is eligible for this award. Those
characteristics are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
Zone 1 Police Officer Paul Poole earned the
“Six Pillars of Character” award for demonstrating
the pillar of Caring after being dispatched to a
call. Just after 5 p.m. on July 1, three calls were received by personnel in the JSO Communications
Center regarding a male on I-95 northbound near 8th street who was attempting to make a pair of shoes out of cardboard.
Poole responded to the area where the homeless individual was
without shirt and shoes. The man wanted to get back to his family in
Georgia and asked for assistance. Poole used his own money to purchase the individual food, water and clothing. Then he took him to a
local shelter to receive assistance with getting back to Georgia.
Civilian Employee of the Month
Lovevonia H. Nathan
JANUARY 2016
Police Emergency Communications Officer
(PECO) Lovevonia Nathan is recognized for her professionalism while handling a call earlier last year. At
the end of March, PECO Nathan received a call from
a teenager threatening to harm herself. Nathan utilized her training and focused on the three C’s: calm,
compassion and control to talk with the distraught
young lady. She asked a series of questions regarding
the individual’s family, hobbies and her goals for when she finished school.
She then gave responding officers information they needed to know to
maintain control of the situation.
PECO Sergeant Leslie White stated, “…PECO Nathan exemplifies what
is needed to do a job that is very stressful, but rewarding at the same time.
[She] obviously cares about the citizens she is in contact with, and the officers on the street that she protects on a daily basis.”

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.

THE JUSTICE COALITION’S OBJECTIVES
• To be available for innocent victims of violent crime
• To educate the general public on criminal justice issues
• To be pro-active in the fight against crime
Was it theft?
By Jay Howell
Appellate courts are
often called upon to decide
whether or not the evidence
is sufficient to sustain a guilty
verdict. In theft cases, the
court is required to decide
whether the defendant’s attempted control over the property of the victim is
sufficient to sustain the criminal charges. In a recent Pasco County case the defendant was convicted by a jury of the crime of second degree
grand theft. He had provided home-health services to the victim because she was recovering
from surgery. She also took medication for various psychological conditions. The defendant
knew the victim was receiving proceeds from a
class action settlement involving the makers of
her medication. Less than a month after the defendant’s home-health care services ended, he
and the victim began a romantic relationship.
Because of her various health issues, the victim lived with her mother, who was also the
payee for the victim’s Social Security Disability
payments. As the relationship with the defendant
grew more serious, he encouraged the victim to
become less dependent on her mother. In fact, he
threatened to end their relationship unless the victim moved out of her mother’s home. The couple
broke up but reunited six months later, soon after
the victim received additional payouts from the
class action. The defendant continued to pressure
the victim to sever ties with her family, and she
moved into her own apartment soon thereafter.
When the victim received her additional class
action payments, she wanted to deposit them into
her own bank account, rather than in her
mother’s account as she had done previously. She
and the defendant went to the bank to open a new
account for her. Because of prior worthless check
problems, the bank would not open an account
for the victim. The defendant offered to open the
account in his name. He promised that the victim
would have access to the account and that the deposited funds would be used for her benefit.
Shortly after opening the account, however, he
blocked the victim’s access to it and began withdrawing funds for his personal use. All the while,
the victim struggled to pay for her medication,
doctor bills, phone service, gasoline, and food.
The defendant withdrew all of the remaining
funds, almost $38,000, and closed the account, all
without the victim’s knowledge or approval. By
Jay Howell, a Jacksonville attorney, has been a State
Prosecutor, a US Senate Investigator and is the founder of
the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children. He represents crime victims in civil claims for
damages and advocates for the legal rights of all victims.

VICTIMS’ ADVOCATE
is
this time, her physical and psychological condition had deteriorated considerably.
The victim repeatedly asked the defendant to
return her money, and he refused each time. Once
he learned that the Department of Children and
Families was investigating his possible exploitation of the victim, he told the victim that if she
called off the investigation, he would return her
money. Even after the victim took steps to end the
investigation, the defendant still failed to live up
to his promise.
The defendant appealed his conviction, arguing that the trial judge should have ruled that the
evidence was not sufficient to sustain the grand
theft charge. The appellate court began its analysis by describing the crime of grand theft as one
where the defendant knowingly obtains or uses,
or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of
another with the intent to, either temporarily or
permanently, deprive the other person of a right
to the property or appropriate the property to his
own use. The appellate court concluded that the
defendant “obtained or used the victim’s money
when he tricked her into putting her funds in his
account, spent the class action settlement proceeds for his own benefit, and denied the victim
access to her own money.”
In the middle of its opinion, the appellate
court stated, “Incredibly, the defendant argues
that he had a legitimate property interest in those
funds because the account was in his name.” The
defendant claimed that, because the victim could
comprehend the meaning of her actions when she
put her money in his account, his actions did not
constitute theft.
The appellate court concluded that the defendant’s conduct is the sort that the legislature
sought to punish when it defined “obtain or use”
for the purposes of the theft statute as “obtaining
property by fraud, willful misrepresentations of
a future act, or false premise.” In this case, the
state presented ample evidence to send the case
to the jury because the defendant knowingly and
purposely took and used the victim’s money for
his own benefit. The appellate court affirmed his
conviction.
The case is Walz v. State, and was decided by
the Second District Court of Appeal on November
6, 2015.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Friend of Justice Coalition,
It was just six years ago that my young
daughter Somer Thompson was abducted
while walking home from school with her
brother and sister. She was assaulted and
murdered, and two days later her dead body
was found 50 miles away in a trash dump.
The horror, the sorrow, and the emptiness I
felt is almost unexplainable.
While the community stood vigil for Somer, you probably wondered yourself how you would get through such a traumatic experience. How does anyone?
What many people don’t know is how Justice
Coalition stood by me from the start and helped
me through every step of this nightmare. That’s
what they do for victims of violent crime. They also
raised $30,000 in reward money to help catch the
monster who killed Somer. When her murderer
was arrested, the Justice Coalition made sure I
knew my rights as a victim and led me through the
legal maze of prosecution and sentencing. They made sure Somer
had a voice in the criminal justice system.
Justice Coalition did so many things for us that my family and I
simply weren’t emotionally able to do in our grief: holding vigils,
funeral arrangements, finding accommodations for the many outof-town family members who arrived for the funeral, supplying
cooked meals and simply holding my hand to pray with me. The list
is endless.
Something that I will always cherish is that Executive Director
Ann Dugger went out of her way to make sure that I got a lock of
Somer’s hair to have forever in her memory.
Violence can happen to anyone. I certainly never thought it
would touch my life. Even after six years, I still find reason to talk
with a Justice Coalition victim advocate occasionally. And they always welcome me with open arms.
No one really knows what to do when violent crime hits home.
Justice Coalition does and has been doing it well for 20 years. As another victim said after he called Justice Coalition, “It was like calling
in the cavalry.”
I am writing you today to personally ask you to join me in supporting Justice Coalition with a donation. They need your support
today to help the next victim blind-sided with the anguish and horror of violent crime. Your support will help them continue the good
fight for innocent victims of violent crime on the First Coast.
Please donate today and help people like Somer and me.
— Diena Thompson
__________________________________________________
Dear Reader,
The Justice Coalition has always been there for
me. I remember the first time I went to Ted Hires
for help and met Ann Dugger. I was at a loss when
my daughter, Colleen Slemmer, was brutally murdered at the Job Corps in Knoxville, Tennessee.
They opened their arms to us and Ann went to the
killer’s trial with me. That evil classmate of
Colleen’s is now the only woman on death row in the state.
There have been many trips to Tennessee. The State kept parts
of my daughter for evidence and I had to live with that. At one time
she was buried, but we had to exhume her five times, going through
the courts for approval each time. Ann helped me get my daughter’s
skull back from the State of Tennessee when they were holding it for
evidence, but they are still keeping parts of it. And now Colleen’s remains have to sit on a table until I can rebury her again.
This is the kind of thing no one should have to experience, but
with the help of the Justice Coalition I was able to deal with it. The
Justice Coalition has helped me; never once have they left my side.
I could not have made it without them, so please donate so other
victims will have the same help I received .Believe me, we need
them.

Which is why viewers see
so much police activity going
on behind the news reporter
who is gleaning as much information as possible, as quickly
as possible. Everyone wants to
know what happened and
why, but officers must judiciously relate only certain
facts, shielding identities until
next of kin are notified, and
protecting evidence that may
be pertinent in upcoming legal
battles.
So, while doing their job of
processing a scene, caring for
wounded or reporting on the
event, what are these first responders thinking? How are
they reacting to the sight of
horribly maimed bodies in car
crashes, to babies who were
shot in their mother’s arms, to
young people cut down in a
hail of gunfire, or to finding a
decomposed body of a missing person? How do they
maintain their composure,
process what happened, deal
with it, forget it?
Colonel Craig Aldrich,
second in command under
Clay County
Sheriff Rick
Beseler, says
“images of
mangled,
d i s f i g u re d
human bodies will always stick
with you throughout your career – you never erase them
from your memory. Persons
killed in a fire, the smell of
burned flesh, leaves a distinct
smell that you never forget.
The sight and scent of decomposing bodies are forever
etched in your mind.”
In 25 years as a law enforcement officer, Aldrich has
seen every possible kind of
murder and untold numbers
of car crashes, but he says the
deaths of children are the
toughest to deal with. “Babies
who have died with SIDS, or
were murdered – you never
forget those visuals. You see
your own flesh and blood and
think of your children, how
fragile and short life is and
that but for the grace of God it
could be happening to me.”
The recent death of Detective David White in a drug
bust is one murder he, nor his
fellow officers, will ever forget.
“Detective White’s death
shook us all to our core. There
hadn’t been a deputy killed in
the line of duty by a criminal
in 100 years in Clay County, so
David’s death opened our
eyes anew to the very real dangers our members are facing
every day. Detective White
was the most professional,
personable colleague anyone
could ask for and we miss him
even now.”
Like other agencies, the
CCSO has a crisis intervention
stress management team to assist officers who witness horrible crime or accident scenes.
Personnel in officer-involved
shootings are required to be
mentally evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Royce Reed, who for
nearly 25 years has been an
EMT with Jacksonville Fire
and Rescue, is now assigned to
Station 48 on Blount Island. He
rides on the fire truck when
they are dispatched to scenes
of distress in the northeast area
of town, and his crew stabilizes the patient until a rescue
unit from another station arrives, takes over and transports the patient to an area
hospital.
He says usually after a terrible crime or accident scene
he can within a couple of
weeks push it into the back of
his mind,
but
one
wreck that
happened
about
10
years ago
will always
stay with
him.
A
woman and
her
child
were hit by a train on US1 in
the Soutel area. “There were
two sets of tracks and she
cleared one, but was hit when
she tried to cross the second.
The car was obliterated,
knocked into 100 pieces, and
the bodies were, too. We just
put sheets over the pieces. We
were in shock, devastated. We
have a crisis team we can talk
to, and I did at the station that
day.”
So far Royce says he hasn’t
had to deal with the tragic injury or death of a child, but “it
is hard when a shooting victim
is still alive, talking to you,
fighting for his life. You try to
stop the bleeding, start an IV
and give him limited drugs or
other emergency care, but you
feel so bad that you can’t do
more. And you think it’s so
unnecessary, that people don’t
have to do that to each other.”
Ashley Harding joined
the WJXT-Ch4 news team in
March 2013 as a mobile journalist.
We often see her at crime
scenes or car crashes, and she
says many of them stick out in
her mind. She recalls her first
week on the job in Jacksonville
when a woman driving by a
post office saw her exboyfriend, pulled into the
parking lot, parked her car behind his, got a gun from the
back seat and started firing.
“I’d never seen anything like
that before; it was surreal. He
was doing nothing more than
taking a package to the Post
Office. It was so inhumane and
really bothered me.”
Another more recent case
in the small central Florida
town of Bell was exceptionally
hard to cover. “A man killed
his daughter, Sarah (who was
my age when she died) and
her six children. I listened to
the 911 call where he announced what he had done
and his intention to kill himself when police arrived at the
scene. This happened on
Thursday and we arrived Friday morning and spent the
weekend there, covering candlelight
vigils, mem o r i a l
services
and talking
with
the
people. To
see how the
tragedy impacted the
small town was very intense
and it was hard to move on –
seeing how very inhumane
some people can be.”
Ashley will become a new
mother in early January and
she internalizes the deaths of
innocent children. “It gives me
a new perspective to think
about these parents who’ve
lost children – and children
whose parents have been
killed. There are times I don’t
feel like coming to work, but
you just put your face on, compartmentalize your feelings
and remember you’re a professional doing your job.”

Seeking Truth and Fighting for Justice
By State Attorney
Angela Corey
Our core function at the
State Attorney’s Office is to
seek the truth and fight for
justice for our victims! I assure you we fight for our victims every single day. Our attorneys recently
went into the courtroom seeking justice for
a young father who was murdered in front
of his children.
On February 16, 2014, Ian Klinedinst, 22,
went to a Southside neighborhood to meet
his fiancé, his children and a friend. Around
the same time, Karla Davis, 38, arrived at her
Earline Circle North home and discovered
that it was burglarized earlier that evening.
Minutes after returning home, Davis noticed
two vehicles driving down her street. The
victim, his fiancé, his children and a friend
were meeting at the end of the street. Upset
over the burglary, Davis grabbed a gun,
drove her car to the end of the street and
blocked the victim’s car. Davis then shot
Klinedinst in the head. After the shooting,
Davis fled the scene and was arrested four
days later at a hotel on the Northside of Jacksonville.
Davis was recently found guilty as
charged of Murder in the Second Degree for
Klinedinst’s death and now faces a 25-year
minimum mandatory sentence and up to life
in prison for this conviction. Her sentencing
is currently scheduled for the end of Janu
ary.
I am so proud of the work our prosecu
tors did in this case. Assistant
State Attor and
neys Bernie de la Rionda
Chyna
Makarowksi fought hard to seek
for
justice
this young father and his family.
My
hope
is this conviction brings closure
to this young

times they need immediate
help with food or other necessities, and we have a Hearts
and Hands Outreach to provide these things. Maybe funeral arrangements haven’t
been planned, and we guide
them through this unfamiliar
process. Sometimes out-oftown relatives need a place to
stay and we may solicit help
from supporters to accommodate their stay. Also, recently
we have added grief counseling to services we offer, making us a full-service advocacy
agency.
Words of appreciation from our extended “family”
Bonita Sikes (Terry Sikes’ wife): “Everything was so foreign to us. The first time we went to
the courthouse, it all seemed so bizarre, surreal, but the Justice Coalition victim advocates
were there to guide us through it all, explain what was happening and offer comfort and support.”
Keith Klinedinst (Ian’s father) “Ann Dugger was at my house the very next day [after my son
was killed]. I don’t know how she knew, but she was there with food and the help I needed to
get through that awful time, and through all the legal process yet to come.
“Lysa Telzer told me to have patience; it takes a long time. You feel like a cloud is over your
head, like your life is in limbo, like if you can just get this one thing taken care of, you can try
to resume some normalcy. Because Lysa also lost a family member to murder, she understands
exactly how I feel. I don’t know how people make it without the support of family and friends,
and the Justice Coalition. Other cities don’t have an organization like this.”
Tommy McDowell (Tommy, Jr.’s father): “Justice Coalition victim advocates have been my
shoulder, my support. Going into a courtroom every week can take a toll on you, but Lysa,
SAO Prosecutors Janeen Kirch and Ray Forbess, JSO Detective Dennis Sullivan and I became
like a family. Nothing can ease the pain, nothing can ever make going through this process
soothing, but they found a way to do it – to do their job and be compassionate about what
happened in mine. Scotty came to the JC during the court process, and he and Lysa teamed up
to help and were awesome. It always good, even now, to have someone who understands and
has felt the way you feel.”
The long journey
to justice
But our primary goal is to
assure grieving families that
our victim advocates will be
with them every single step of
the way through the arduous
upcoming journey through the
criminal justice system as they
seek justice for their murdered
loved ones. First, Lysa Telzer
or one of our other advocates
Nobles,
Anita
(Amanda
Cuevas and Scotty McGee)
will make sure they have a police report of the incident.
They will file a victim compensation claim seeking funds
for funeral costs, medical bills,
mental health support, lost
wages, etc.
The advocates learn (from
the police report) which detective is assigned to the case,
and they contact the State Attorney’s Office to find out who
went to the crime scene and
will prosecute the murderer (if
they know who the killer is at
this point). They explain to the
family what they can expect in
the days ahead and accompany them (or go in their
stead) to the first appearance
when the suspect stands before the judge, then a few
weeks later for the arraignment. They keep the families
notified about every pre-trial
hearing and, again, accompany them or represent them
at every occasion.
The purpose of pre-trial
hearings is to keep the judge
informed of progress being
made – if depositions are
being held, if psych exams are
necessary, if the State and defense preparations are on target, if they are waiting on
crime scene or DNA test re-
Debra Wright (Delores Futrell’s sister): “Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda and his
staff were extremely supportive from the beginning. It almost felt like my sister’s murder was
his only case. They showed care, compassion, professionalism, and determination to get justice
for Delores. The victim advocates were invaluable in helping us understand all the processes,
procedures, do’s, don’ts, who’s who, and expectations before, during, and after the trial. I
don’t think we could have gotten thru the process without their care, compassion, and knowledge of the criminal justice system.”
Raymond Fluellen (Roosevelt Fluellen’s brother): “When detectives said leads had dried up
and they needed help finding the murderer, we contacted the Justice Coalition for assistance
with a vigil. It was the first vigil I ever attended. The victim advocates were awesome and we
are all grateful for the Justice Coalition and how they are helping our family cope with my
brother’s death.”
sults, if forensics experts are
required, and any number of
other possible scenarios. Then,
finally, it’s time for the trial.
Again, our advocates explain in detail what the family
can expect, instruct them on
court behavior (they cannot
make outcries or overtly express their emotions), help
them understand legal terminology and actions taking
place, and just be there to offer
a strong shoulder to lean on
throughout the trial. After jury
selection, the trial begins with
opening arguments from both
the State and defense, proceeds with testimonies and
presentation of evidence, then
closing arguments and the
judge’s instructions to the jury.
Waiting for the jury’s decision is always nerve-wracking,
then if a guilty verdict is
reached, the next step is sentencing, which occurs within a
few days or weeks. Between
the trial and sentencing, our

advocates help the victims’
families write impact statements which they can read in
court. It’s their opportunity to
express their grief or anger
about the loss of their loved
one and how it has impacted
their lives. The secret word is
responder. Everyone breathes
a sigh of relief when all this is
over and the families can try to
resume their normal routines –
but their lives are never the
same.
By the time the above-described events have occurred,
all of us in the office feel a
close bond with these new
members of our Justice Coalition family. We keep in continual communication with them
and invite them to all our
fundraising functions where
they are our honored guests.
Many have been so impacted
by the love and support they
received from the Justice
Coalition that they want to
share their experiences with
new victims, passing on what
they’ve received. Several volunteer in the office, help at
events, appear in videos that
explain the services offered by
the Justice Coalition, share
their stories with readers of
our Victims' Advocate newspaper – and maybe even treat
us with delicious food now
and then.
All of our staff consider it
a privilege to extend whatever
assistance we can to the grieving, distressed, traumatized
families who find their way to
our door. We sincerely hope
and pray you never have to
experience the pain of losing a
loved one to murder, but
please know that if you do, we
are here to help. Together we
can, together we will make a
difference in our community.

For the past several years
members of the Chrome Divas
Motorcycle Organization of
Orange Park have volunteered
at Justice Coalition events.
They’ve assisted with registration at Rides for Justice, obtained donations for silent
auctions (and manned the
auction tables), and helped in
many other ways. Most recently they’ve hosted an annual Christmas party for a few
children whose families have
been affected by violent
crimes.
Pastor Amos Bankhead
opens the doors of his church
– Combined Gospel Christian
Fellowship – to these ladies
who generously present
lovely gifts to about four or
five children each year. The
kids are excited about their
gifts and the attention, but the
highlight of the day is seeing
their smiles when they get to
sit on one of the big motorcycles.
Chapter Director Michelle
Key says, “We currently have
23 active members in our
chapter of the organization
that was founded in 2002 as a
worldwide association of
women motorcycling enthusiasts who love to ride and
enjoy being around motorcycles. Although our main purpose is to RIDE AND HAVE
FUN we are also committed to
lending a helping hand in our
communities!”
In addition to supporting
the Justice Coalition Ride for
Justice, they are involved in
many other rides for charity
throughout the year, including

We truly admire what you do
and are happy to play a small

These ladies give more
than just “a little”! Each year
they ask for names and wish

then they go out and purchase
gifts to abundantly grant all
those wishes. It’s hard to tell
who is having the most fun –

and compassion in group effort.
Over 45 existing chapters are

On the Lighter Side ...
One Saturday, as Mom was
finishing the dinner dishes,
my father stepped up behind
her. “Would you like to go out,
girl?” he asked.
Not even turning around,
my mother quickly replied,
“Oh, yes, I’d love to!”
They had a wonderful
evening, and it wasn’t until the
end of the evening that Dad finally confessed that his question had actually been directed
to the family dog, lying near
Mom’s feet on the kitchen
floor.
Research shows ‘pill mill’ crackdowns saved thousands
By Evan Axelbank, Fox 13 News
(Tampa)
DEC. 21, 2015 -- Sheryl
Alkire makes no bones about
saying her 32-year-old daughter, Stacy, cheated death. “At
the time, I had said someone
was going to die in (her)
house,” said Alkire.
From 2008 to 2010, Stacy’s
life was dominated by getting
and taking dozens
of pain
pills a day. Eventually, Pinellas deputies caught her trying
to fill fake prescriptions.
“They [addicts] get very
numb,” said Alkire. “They
have no emotions.” But in
2010 and 2011, federal and
state crackdowns led to the arrest of clinic owners, lengthtime
between
ened
prescriptions and banned doctors from giving out pills onsite.
“There are people, now
alive
in Florida, who wouldn’t
be had the state not taken ac-
tion,” said Daniel Webster of
Johns Hopkins University.
Johns Hopkins researchers
compared Florida with North
Carolina, which before the
crackdown had similar overdose rates. After the crackdown, the rate of overdose
deaths in Florida dropped,
while in North Carolina, the
rate was essentially unchanged.
“The doctors - we called
them criminals wearing white
coats - couldn’t sit in a strip
mall and write prescriptions
for 400 pills that were killing
our families,” said Bondi.
Johns Hopkins researchers
used statistical models to say
1,029 lives were saved over the
last three years. Bondi says it’s
proof the effort was effective.
“We knew we were losing
seven Floridians a day,” she
said.
Alkire’s daughter’s postpain-pill life is not without
challenges, but at least Alkire
knows Stacy is here to fight,
for herself and her own children. “Addiction isn’t like you
go to rehab and get better. It’s
a lifelong fight for these people.”
Along with the crackdown
in Tallhassee, the Drug Enforcement Administration arrested nearly 80 pill mill
owners and staff members.
Johns Hopkins says that had a
big effect, along with the
seizure of $20 million in assets,
because it limited the readily
available supply.

for sale, I stressed emphatically that my sons make their
beds each morning. I left for
work before they left for
school, and I wanted to be
sure that the house looked
presentable when the agent
showed it to prospective buyers.
I was surprised and impressed that my 15-year-old
son’s bed was perfectly made
each day. One night when I
went into his room, I discovered his secret. He was fast
asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag.
