We cannot be silent when an innocent two-year-old and three others are wounded in a hail of gunfire on Christmas Day. When I took the oath of office last summer with my wife Molly and three kids beside me, I pledged to provide support and resources that bring the same educational opportunities, neighborhood conditions, and community safety offerings that our family expects to all of Jacksonville. While our staggering pension debt has significantly hampered our investment levels in these services, I have made it very clear with my budget and my efforts that public safety is my greatest priority. Simply put, for our communities to thrive, our communities must be safe. Over the past six months, I’ve worked very closely with Sheriff Mike Williams on key initiatives and efforts to reduce violent crime throughout our city. In my very first budget as mayor, I allocated specific funds that resulted in the hiring of 40 new police officers – additional resources to support the efforts for safer communities. These funds also allowed JSO to re-instate its Community Service Officer program, adding 40 new community officers to serve and support citizen needs. While adding law enforcement officers to city streets is helpful, it’s not complete. The sheriff and I both agree that we can’t police ourselves out of violence. To truly solve crime, we must also focus on the causes of crime – not only with robust intervention programs, which we have, but with significant investments in prevention efforts. There’s tremendous evidence and national research that speak to the power of prevention. We don’t have to look very far. In 2011, Jacksonville’s murder totals were as low as they were in the 1970s. The conditions of our city just five years ago were greatly influenced by the Jacksonville Journey, a program launched by then-Mayor John Peyton to address escalating violence in many of our most vulnerable communities, being committed by our most vulnerable citizens – youth. I am delighted that the Journey continues. I’ve relaunched the program with a 100 percent increase in funding – a $5 million investment in organizations, programs, and offerings that create more promising futures for tomorrow’s leaders. Next month I will begin a new series of Community Conversations focused on public safety. I am inviting everyone to attend on Thursday, Feb. 11, at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of FSCJ’s North Campus, 4501 Capper Road. Sheriff Williams, Superintendent Nikolai Vitti, and State Attorney Angela Corey will join us to explore “Our Future: Addressing Youth Violence in our Community.” Please attend to add your voice to this important dialogue.

The letter, which shocked and dismayed the family, read: This is to inform you that Judge Jean Johnson has made a ruling in the above case (Jacob Dougan v. State of Florida). I am sorry to inform you that Judge Johnson has ordered that the defendant’s death conviction and sentence be vacated and that he have a new trial and penalty phase. JoAnn Orlando couldn’t believe that after nearly 40 years the family would have to deal with and relive the events of her brother’s death. She recounted the events of that long-ago day when Stephen Anthony Orlando was brutally murdered and dumped in a trash heap: “My father was getting remarried in New Jersey and I attended the wedding, but my brother did not. The day after the wedding (Father’s Day 1974) we got a call saying my brother was dead. He was found shot two times in the head and stabbed, and a note was on his body saying he was killed because he was a ‘white devil’ and that the BLA was going to start a race war.” She says, “My father, his new bride, my sister and I returned to Jacksonville Beach [where we received] almost daily phone calls from the BLA. Tapes describing the murder were sent to our homes, threats were WASHINGTON - In a major decision, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday [Jan 12] found that Florida's death-penalty sentencing system is unconstitutional. The case focused on the role of juries in recommending whether defendants should receive the death penalty. The justices ruled 8-1 that the state's sentencing procedure is flawed because juries play only an advisory role in recommending death while the judge can reach a different decision. “We are still digesting the opinion," Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement Tuesday morning. "We've been working on it to see what's needed for a fix." made against our lives and my sister and I were sent away for our own protection.” In a Times-Union article on Dec. 1, 2013, journalist Larry Hannan detailed events of that long-ago day. “Jacob Dougan and a handful of accomplices who called themselves the ‘Black Liberation Army’ went High Cost (Continued on page 5 Direct Criminal Contempt By Jay Howell Many people are aware that the trial court judge has the authority to hold an individual in contempt of the court. Contempt of court is any act which is calculated to embarrass, hinder, or obstruct the court in its administration of justice, or which is calculated to lessen its authority or its dignity. In a recent Santa Rosa County case, the issue of the judge’s authority to find an individual in direct criminal contempt of court came into question. The appellant, a criminal defense attorney, finished a volunteer activity in the morning on the day in question and believed she was off work for the day. However, in the early afternoon she learned that one of her clients had a plea hearing in criminal court that day and she attended the hearing. During the plea proceeding, the trial judge asked the attorney and the prosecutor to approach the bench. The judge informed them that he had been told by two court employees that the appellant smelled like alcohol. The judge asked her if she had been drinking and she responded that she drank at lunch, but was not impaired. The judge asked her to take a breathalyzer test, to which she submitted. After the appellant returned from the test, the trial judge resumed the criminal hearing and told those in the courtroom what had just transpired. The results of the breathalyzer were .082, .087, and .076 grams/100 milliliters BAL. The judge stated the attorney would not be permitted to represent the defendant. The judge then ordered her to be held in the county jail until she blew less than .08 g/100 ml. The bailiff informed the judge that if the appellant was Direct (Continued on page 4) The Justice Coalition is a grass roots, non-profit (501(c)3), non-partisan organization that operates on contributions, proceeds from fundraisers and citizen involvement.

Remembering Little Lonzie By Ann Dugger, Executive Director Justice Coalition When we hear on the news about yet another murder or missing person, we are horrified, or saddened, or outraged – reactions depending on the circumstances – but when a child is missing or murdered, our emotions are much more intense. I remember back in 1998 when authorities and volunteers searched for missing 8-year-old Maddie Clifton, and we were sickened when her body was found several days later stuffed beneath the mattress of a teenage neighbor boy. Then after Somer Thompson went missing and was soon found in a Georgia landfill, all of us reacted with horror at the terrible death of this little 7-yearold girl. More recently, Cherish Perrywinkle’s tragic assault and murder again brought united outrage from the entire community. Now there is little Lonzie Barton, a darling blue-eyed toddler who was reported missing last July, his remains located when the (alleged) murderer led investigators to a secluded Southside property where people sometimes dump their trash. We’ve heard daily reports about the search for the child, about the arrests and court proceedings involving his parents and caregivers, and once again the community came together to ex- press its collective grief and support. The wooded area in Bayard where Ruben Ebron disposed of the child who had been left in his care is near the Julington Baptist Church, so it was a convenient place for the initial press conference regarding the discovery to be held. Then the church pastor, Rev. Nat McClain – a retired JSO officer and pilot who had participated in the search for Lonzie – offered his beautiful facility when we needed a venue to hold a Remembrance Vigil. He, his staff and members were wonderful as we all hurriedly worked to pull together an event honoring this precious little life. The Remembrance Vigil for Lonzie Barton was announced by the media, streamed live on News4Jax, and folks began to arrive two or three hours before the 6 p.m. starting time. Many stopped by a growing memorial site near the church to leave flowers, stuffed animals or other symbols of love, and others brought long-stemmed flowers that would go into a bouquet in the church.

Goebel Corrections Supervisor of the Month Police Sergeant Bryan Goebel, Patrol & Enforcement Division/Zone 2, received recognition for his attention to detail that led to the apprehension of two violent felons. On Sunday, August 30, 2015, Sergeant Goebel was patrolling the 1000 block of University Blvd. North when he spotted a vehicle similar to one that had been reported stolen a couple days prior and used in an attempted uttering of counterfeit money in Atlantic Beach. Goebel relayed the information to other units and requested assistance after confirming the vehicle in question was the stolen vehicle. Ultimately the suspect stopped the stolen vehicle behind a marked police car at a red light. At this time officers blocked in the vehicle and stopped the driver. The driver exited the car and fled the scene on foot while Patrol secured the three occupants in the car. Sergeant Goebel pursued the driver on foot and the driver was taken into custody. The suspect, a convicted felon who was found in possession of drugs, counterfeit bills and templates, as well was a firearm, has been involved in several pending cases and is being looked at by a federal agency. One passenger was also arrested on outstanding warrants. Police Lieutenant Keith Clement said, “Sergeant Goebel is being commended because of his professionalism, determination, sagacity, commitment to the citizens he chose to serve, dedication to duty, and the ability to manage and direct resources during a high stress incident.” Police Officer of the Month Undercover Detective This undercover detective who works in the Homeland Security Division / Narcotics Unit earned this award for his exemplary work during a long-term narcotics investigation that resulted in the implication of more than 30 suspects. After receiving a complaint in reference to narcotics activity involving college-age individuals, the honoree and another detective developed and deployed a plan that took place in early 2015. The operation lasted approximately ten weeks, led to several locations throughout the city and yielded more than 100 transactions of various types of narcotics. The honoree’s supervisor, who also works in an undercover capacity, said this about his employee: “…exhibited extraordinary dedication to the community and the Sheriff’s office. He worked around the clock and many times came to work on his days off to ensure that the investigation was being properly handled.” Richard W. Long Corrections Sergeant Richard Long, Prisons Division / Montgomery Correctional Center, is recognized for his dedicated work in organizing and launching several innovative programs at the prison. One program he has started is an inmate K-9 training program called “A New Leash on Life.” Through this program inmates are taught how to train dogs using positive reinforcement techniques. MCC partners with local organizations to provide the shelter dogs with basic obedience skills to increase their chance of being adopted and finding their “fur-ever-home” at the completion of the program. This program not only benefits the dogs, but inmates as well; training the dogs has shown to improve the mental health of the inmates and reduce discipline issues. The inmates also learn valuable life skills including teamwork, responsibility, patience and job skills relating to canine care and training. A second program that Long started and oversees is the Sheriff’s Office alterations needs that are handled at the prison by inmates. As of August 2015, more than 6,750 garment alterations had been completed at the prison, which is estimated to save JSO more than $32,000 a year in alterations expenses. Through this program the inmates are learning valuable skills that can translate into employment opportunities upon release. Corrections Lieutenant Jason Rogers said, “As Sgt. Long’s direct supervisor, I could not have a better leader in place to implement and manage several unique and challenging programs. While completing these additional duties, Rick does not allow his primary responsibilities to suffer. He shares a passion for stepping outside of the box and finding unconventional solutions to benefit our mission.” Corrections Officer of the Month Vickie W. Jackson Corrections Officer Vickie Jackson, who works in the Prisons Division / Community Transition Center, was recognized for her hard work, overall approach to her job and for assisting a citizen in distress in June 2015. On Wednesday, June 3, while assigned as the Officerin-Charge of the intake area at the Community Transition Center (CTC), Officer Jackson received a call regarding an unauthorized vehicle entering the staff parking lot. She responded to the scene and learned that the vehicle had just struck a dumpster and was about to hit a staff member’s parked vehicle as well. She gave a loud verbal command to stop the car and the driver complied. Patrol officers arrived at the scene and determined that the driver was not intoxicated, but suffering from a serious medical condition requiring immediate care. Civilian Employee of the Month Heather D. Fletcher (Sergeant Fletcher received this award for her work as a Police Emergency Communications Officer) Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Heather Fletcher is recognized for her work during the search for missing toddler, Lonzie Barton, in the summer of 2015. She is a member of the Telecommunicator Emergency Response Team (TERT) and in July 2015 she was asked to utilize her dispatch knowledge and experience while working in the Command Post during the search for the missing toddler. Fletcher adjusted her schedule with very little notice to help accommodate the needs of the Command Post, while keeping her commitment to the Communications Center. Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Brittany Van Gorder stated, “PECO Fletcher embodies the core value of Community Focused and helps the Communications Center achieve its mission of ‘locate, protect, and apprehend’ every day.” Statewide County Report (Northeast Florida) January 2015 – June 2015 Year Total Crime Index 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 247 244 208 212 2,331 2,144 20,307 20,079 625 584 2,330 1,884 County Baker Bradford Clay Duval Nassau St Johns % Index Change 2014 / 2015 -1.2 1.9 -8.0 -1.1 -6.6 -19.1 Murder Rape Robbery Aggravated Assault* Burglary Larceny Motor Vehicle Theft Percent Cleared 0 0 0 0 2 3 52 46 0 2 1 2 1 0 6 4 54 42 258 241 2 1 18 14 3 4 4 6 56 42 730 647 12 4 27 20 75 56 45 45 202 191 2,002 1,986 29 18 234 175 33 59 42 46 368 328 3,519 3,305 143 167 335 276 129 120 103 105 1,595 1,461 12,703 12,724 416 365 1,624 1,315 6 5 8 6 54 77 1,043 1,130 23 27 91 82 42.5 45.1 67.3 66.5 44.3 44.2 20.5 20.6 25.6 25.2 20.3 24.2 *Aggravated Assault includes Aggravated Assault and Forcible Fondling Offenses.

Ward Lou Webber Sheriff Mike Williams Charles Wilson 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 court scheduled a direct criminal contempt hearing for the following Monday. The attorney moved to dismiss the contempt charge on the ground that direct criminal contempt requires that an intentional act be committed in the presence of the court, and that this requirement was not met in this case. At the hearing on the motion, two witnesses testified that they had seen the attorney immediately prior to the hearing on the day in question and neither had smelled any alcohol on the attorney nor did the attorney seem impaired in any way. After hearing argument, the trial judge found that the attorney’s decision to come to court despite drinking at lunch was an intentional act that provided the grounds for a direct criminal contempt charge. The trial judge found the attorney guilty of direct criminal contempt and sentenced her to a suspended sentence of 5 months 29 days in the county jail with 6 months of probation. The attorney appealed the judge’s sentence, arguing that the trial court judge had abused his authority. The appellate court ruled that the trial court judge did abuse his discretion when he requested that the attorney take a breathalyzer test and then detained the attorney after receiving the results. The trial court’s authority did not extend to ordering a breathalyzer when there is no lawful arrest or probable cause that a crime had been committed. In addition, the appellate court found that the trial court judge placed the attorney in protective custody without any lawful authority. Both of these actions were improper and violations of due process. Citing provisions of the Florida Statutes that apply if criminal penalties are to be imposed in cases of driving under the influence, the court pointed out there was no lawful arrest nor was there any probable cause to believe a crime had been committed. After receiving the results of the breathalyzer test, the trial judge placed the attorney in “protective custody” until subsequent breathalyzer results showed she was under the legal limit. The court ruled that while judges do have the authority to hold a person in custody or to arrest a person, here the judge placed her in “protective custody.” Because there was no evidence that the attorney was substance-abuse impaired and as a result had lost the power of self-control and had either inflicted or threatened physical harm on herself or another person, the trial judge abused his discretion in ordering her to be held in protective custody. The judgment of contempt was reversed. This case was decided by the First District Court of Appeal on December 28, 2015, and can be found in legal publications with the identifier LEXIS 19351.

Stephen Orlando had been hitchhiking home from his job because his car wasn’t working when he was picked up by the group. “His body was found on a dirt road at a trash dump in St. Johns County that is now part of Marsh Landing Country Club. The Jacksonville Beach 18-year-old was stabbed 12 times in the chest, stomach and back, and then Dougan placed his foot on Orlando’s neck and fired two bullets into his head. “Dougan and his followers also sent tape recordings to [Orlando’s mother Marian] Mallory and media outlets describing how Orlando begged for his life. ‘You should be proud your son was the first to die for our black cause,’ the tape to the mother said, according to news reports at the time.” This vicious killer was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death by Judge R. Hudson Olliff, but the Florida Supreme Court threw out the death sentence twice and ordered him resentenced – first in 1978 because Dougan hadn’t had a chance to review his pre-sentencing report, and again in 1984 because justices said the state was wrong to tell the original jury about a subsequent similar murder when Dougan wasn’t on trial for that crime. Also factoring into the scenario was that his attorney was having an affair with Dougan’s sister at the time. Justice Coalition Victim Advocate Lysa Telzer will accompany Ms. Orlando to Tallahassee this month where the case will be heard before the Florida Supreme Court. Hopefully, a decision at this time will finally settle the case. Recently another murderer’s life sentence was overturned, which has enraged the family and friends of Jacksonville Beach firefighter Mike McCue. Charles Pearce was fighting with his stepfather in 2011 when he fired his gun and a bullet hit and killed McCue as he stood in his driveway. The First District Court of Appeal ruled that “the trial court erred in refusing to let defense counsel show the jury part of a videotaped interview the police conducted the day after [Pearce’s] arrest.” These cases are just two of many in which Justice Coalition victim advocates have supported victims’ families who must endure the ordeal of retrials. In a May 2015 Victims' Advocate article we told how Lynette Roebuck believed she was being “punked” when informed by a reporter that the murder conviction of Frederick Wade had been overturned. He had killed her daughter, Kalil McCoy, because she rolled down a window in the car, and dumped her body at a relative’s daycare facility. The 1st District Court of Appeal cited faulty jury instructions (the judge failed to explain the possibility of a lesser manslaughter Other overthrown sentences • An appeals court threw out the conviction for Theodist Richardson, who was sentenced to life plus 190 years for the murders of two people and shooting of a 13-month-old child at an apartment complex in August 2011. Richardson appealed the convictions, saying the jury was improperly instructed and given conflicting instructions about the self-defense case. • The Florida Supreme Court unanimously tossed out the death sentence of Michael Shellito, convicted in the 1994 shooting death of 18-year-old Sean Hathorne, because his attorney failed to properly raise issues about the defendant’s mental-health problems. • The Court also cited mental health issues in its decision to convert Ralston Davis’s death sentence to life for killing three people in a crack cocaine rage. The high court ruled that Davis did not act in a “cold, calculated and premeditated manner” when he ordered his victim to her knees and fired 23 bullets from an AR-15 assault rifle into her body. • The Court overturned the death penalty for Michael Yacob and ordered him re-sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree murder of Moussa Maida, a 19-year-old convenience store clerk in Arlington. Judge Adrian Soud said the death penalty applied because a security video showed the robbery and murder: “This is not a case of a robbery gone bad,” he said. “This is not a case of things going out of control. This is the case of a man who made a conscious decision to end the life of a 19-year-old boy.” The Supreme Court disagreed. • In December 2008 Leo Kaczmar III stabbed his father’s girlfriend, Mary Ruiz, more than 90 times then set the house on fire. After his arrest he paid an undercover officer $300 to intimidate witnesses. He was convicted and sentenced to death row, but on appeal the Florida Supreme Court threw out the Sexual Battery conviction; however, when the case was sent back to the Fourth Judicial Circuit for a new sentencing hearing, a jury unanimously voted to send the murderer to death row. video from a pawn shop charge) as the reason for vacat(which showed him selling a ing the jury’s ruling.

Evitheir testimony may lend creddence against him included ibility to the criminal’s reason for appeal; the inherent price of trial venues and time and labor of all personnel involved. But prisoners have the right to multiple appeals – all of which may drag out for decades. Granted, prison living conditions – on death row or in the general population – are not one’s preferred way of life, but what about families of victims left to fend for themselves if the breadwinner is murdered, or the wife is no longer around to care for her children. Prisoners are provided food, housing and other amenities at no cost or effort on their part; families often struggle for survival while dealing with the grief of their loss. Criminals belong in prison because, for whatever reason, most of them have proven their inability to live peaceably in society as lawabiding citizens. Many inmates take advantage of incarceration time to further their education, understand what precipitated their actions or even experience genuine life changes. Others spend their time researching methods of exoneration, looking for any reason, however insignificant or unreasonable, to have their sentences overturned. Ted Hires started the Justice Coalition more than 20 years ago when he recognized the disparity of consideration and treatment between criminals and their victims. While some progress has been made since then on behalf of victims’ rights, we wonder if he were alive today, how he would react to the never-ending, almost daily reports of shootings and murders, to legislative decisions that seem to decrease the deterrent of retribution for committing violent crimes, to his organization’s continued struggle to ensure victims’ rights. We hope he would not think his legacy was in vain. THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIMS’ ADVOCATE • 5 Florida Missing Adults’ Day 2016 February 26 11:00 am Atrium at City Hall 117 W.

In working with these victims, we see daily how crime can impact a person’s life. In some cases, however, that impact hits close to home. I would like to share with you the story of our Victim Advocate Carl Harms. In 2007, Carl received tragic news that his father, James Harms, was hit and killed by two separate drunk drivers. It was difficult for him to learn the details of that fatal crash and see pictures of the crime scene, but it wasn’t until Carl came face-to-face with his father’s wrecked car that the reality of what happened really hit him. Carl told me that moment is something that will always stay with him. The sight of his father’s mangled car was an image he will never forget and something that will impact him for the rest of his life. In that moment Carl knew he was going to use the tragic experience in a positive way. In 2014, Carl started an educational awareness program called IMPACT! #RestoreResponsibility. IMPACT is a program that brings a true-life crime scene to the public, all while sharing a story of life, death and responsibility. There are several different displays and interactive activities that help make this program both memorable and informative. Carl brings people of all ages together to hear from those whose lives have been affected by crime. One of the activities Carl has developed is the eyeopening experience of the Fatal Vision goggles. The participant is asked to wear the goggles, which simulate impairment. Carl then asks the participants to perform simple exercises, such as walking along a straight line. This activity shows people just how skewed one’s judgment is when impaired. The centerpiece of the program is the car crash display. The display gives viewers a close look at a wrecked vehicle that a young girl was driving when she was fatally hit by a drunk driver. They also hear from the victim’s mother as she shares her daughter’s story and how that driver’s irresponsible decision cost her daughter’s life. Carl says hearing her story and seeing the car in the same condition it was on the day of the accident is a moment of impact. It leaves a lasting impression with all those who experience it. Carl also encourages everyone to take IMPACT’s “Pledge for Life and Responsibility,” promising to teach and take responsibility for their actions every SATSUMA, Fla. - The National Center for Missing and exploited Children issued an updated age progression photo for missing child Haleigh Cummings that depicts how she may appear today at the age of 12. The then-5-year-old girl was reported missing from her home in the Hermits Cove area of Satsuma on Feb. 10, 2009; Haleigh has still not been found. single day. All who pledge receive a “promise band” to wear on their wrist, which serves as a reminder of the importance of making responsible decisions. So far, more than 600 people have made the IMPACT pledge, and that number continues to grow! Carl says he has seen the positive impact of this program and he wants to continue to expand the program and get the message out to more people, especially youth. I am so proud of Carl’s commitment to educate young men and women in our community! Keep up the good work!

ShAdCo demonstrates a partnership between law enforcement and the community. It illustrates Jacksonville's commitment to community policing. ShAdCo serves as an information exchange between citizens and the police. Regularly scheduled meetings give citizens an opportunity to communicate directly with command staff and police officers on issues of importance to their communities. How Does ShAdCo work? The City of Jacksonville is divided into six police zones. Each zone has a substation that provides basic police services for members of the surrounding community. Each zone is subdivided into sectors. Each sector has a ShAdCo that is composed of law enforcement officers and citizens from that area. Each ShAdCo has an elected chairperson to manage the program. The zone commanders work actively with the councils, but do not chair the meetings. The groups meet once a month to discuss issues pertaining to their area of the city and to plan solutions. Topics of discussion can include but are not limited to eliminating drug houses, traffic issues, home security, and community education. Use the map to determine which zone you reside in. The secret word is ShAdCo. Go to the coj.net website, then click on the links indicated to learn more about attending the monthly meetings or joining the ShAdCo in your sector.

Following opening prayer by Pastor Deryle Adkison (Brandy Branch Baptist Church, Bryceville) and a few remarks from others, Tom Hackney rose to speak and was greeted by a spontaneous burst of Tom Hackney applause as the audience stood to acknowledge his outstanding job in keeping the public informed during the past six months. Always clearly emotional about the missing baby, he told how he went home in the early morning hours and awakened his two young children to hug them, because he said you never know when it might be the last time you could. Pastor Nat McCain Pastor McClain delivered a powerful and effective message, reminding us that Lonzie is not on that trash heap, but rather from the time he was killed has been with the Lord. The J-Dets youth group (Jesus Cadets from the Julington church, directed by Kim Palmer) sang a couple of songs that got the crowd going, and other children from the audience joined later to sing Jesus Loves the Little Children. Miranda Carr and JC Board Chair Roger Delaney also sang and Pastor Jerry Daniel (Garden City Church of God) closed in prayer. Many thanks to JC Board member Carrie Patrick who did a great job as emcee, and to everyone else who joined in the effort to make this a truly memorable event. We were so happy to bring a message of love and comfort to this hurting family. On my way home I stopped by Lonzie’s grandmother’s house to give her a basket of flowers and a couple of large “cards” signed by many of those who attended, expressing their love and warm wishes. Lonzie’s 5-year-old sister had told me she wanted her very own Bible, so I presented her a beautifully illustrated girl’s copy of the Scriptures, with her name engraved on the front cover. She was so excited to receive this gift, and I pray it will be a valu- 8 • THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIMS’ ADVOCATE able resource to guide her as she grows up.

I apologize if I failed to recognize anyone else who had a part in this event. God bless you all! Photo courtesy Heather Leigh, WJXT Photos courtesy Julington Baptist Church FEBRUARY 2016 By Shirley Shaw For many years Justice Coalition Victim Advocates have relied on Assistant State Attorney John Guy (and his fellow prosecutors) to efficiently and successfully bring to justice criminals, who violently take the lives of innocent victims. We’ve always been confident he would provide comfort and reassurance to grieving families as he sought appropriate punishment for the heinous crimes that devastated their lives. John is continuing to seek judgment for criminals, but since the beginning of 2016 his role has changed. He has been appointed by Governor Rick Scott to be a Circuit Court Judge in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. We couldn’t be more pleased for this deserved recognition of his talents and expertise. John is “truly honored and excited as I embark on this new challenge.” Our newest judge recalls, “Ever since I arrived at the University of Florida as a freshman in 1983, I have felt compelled to help others less fortunate than myself…I wanted to give something back.” To that end John joined the Juvenile Alternative Services Program (JASP) in Gainesville, which is a program that joins adults with children in trouble with the law. John was assigned four mentees during the three years he worked with JASP and, much like the Big Brother/Big Sister program, they would meet on weekends for an hour or two. He is happy to recall that all those he mentored successfully graduated from the program. “My desire to help others…did not end in college,” John says. “Starting in 2003, I spent three years as volunteer mentor with the “Take Stock in Children” program in Jack- Judge John Guy 4th Judicial Circuit sonville. I was assigned a Jackson High School sophomore and we met for an hour, two or three times a month to discuss any problems he was having and to be a sounding board for his ideas. I did everything I could to demonstrate the right way to live and treat others. We laughed, and we shared, and we were both the better for it.” John and his wife Homa have been married more than 19 years and are blessed with three daughters: Gracie, Ella and Layla. He says, “Our middle daughter Ella is profoundly mentally and physically handicapped. Being the parent of a special needs child is a remarkable experience. It is a journey of fear and faith, patience and acceptance, and love and compassion. Without ever saying a word, Ella has taught me how blessed we are to have our health and how important it is to appreciate the needs – ALL the needs – of others. She has given me courage and strength and has made me a better person, which I believe will make me a better judge.” State Attorney Angela Corey says she is sorry to see John leave but is happy for him because she knows it was his dream to be a judge. She appreciates his “unbelievable devotion” to the criminal justice system. Judge Guy replaces Judge Mallory Cooper who retired at the end of 2015. So our hats are off to Judge John Guy – an extraordinary citizen of our community – for his integrity and expertise in seeing justice. We offer our best wishes and pray God’s blessings as he enters this new phase of his life and career. Mary McPherson, Licensed Real Estate Broker/Owner/ Realtor 5 W.

THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIM’S ADVOCATE • 11 Internet communication: How it all started In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dorothy. Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst without ever leaving thy trade tent?” And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, “How, dear?” And Dot replied, “I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Sta ble (UPS).” Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent. To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures – Hebrew To The People (HTTP). And the young men did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth the greedy horsefly takes to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. Indeed he did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates’ drumheads and drumsticks. And Dot did say, “Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others.” And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, “We need a Northeast Florida lost a passionate advocate for children when Delores “Dee” Wilson passed away last month following a bout with pancreatic cancer. She fostered and/or adopted about 1,200 children during her life. Judge David Gooding, who presides over many adoptions in Jacksonville said, “She opened her home and heart to children in the time of their greatest need. All of us are better that Dee Wilson served our children.” Dee and her husband George are long-time supporters of the Justice Coalition and, sadly, they needed our services when their adopted son, Michael, was murdered in 2011. We extend our sincere sympathy to George and their many children, praying for God’s comfort during their time of grief and loss. name that reflects what we are.” And Dot replied, “Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.” “YAHOO,” said Abraham. And because it was Dot’s idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com. Abraham’s cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot’s drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God’s Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE). That is how it all began. And that’s the truth!
