[AAbsolute]

Thanks, JC

JC? I'm down wid JC and the boys! He's my Savior! ;-)

Just a little humor.......very little.:funn:
Seriously, though. Corruption and good ole boy politics is in every police dept in the nation to some extent. We just need to do our best to keep it to a minimum here.[/quote]

Thank You Much. It's about time someone on the inside said that. I hope you run for Sheriff sometime.

Looks like we have a winner!!!

The defense attorney, Harry Harper, is held in high esteem by his peers. I think he did a great job in the case. If you were there then you probably understand some of the various pressures involved in hearing a case like that one in DeFuniak.

I know that it predates the online Court searches and that Records are some what buried but I'm going to see if I can find some public info. on it to share. I must know you, but I'm new to Sowal.com so I will have to guess on your identity for now.

Thanks, JC

Since Robert vouches that it happened, I withdraw my earlier statement AAbsolute. I am burning with curiosity concerning the details so maybe you can share the info with us at some point.

The public records about this case seem to have been wiped off the face of the earth. I don't know if they were sealed by a County Judge or through an expungement. I've been considering the direct posting of the specific information, but there may be legal consequences.

The story and details of this case were in the newspaper and if memory serves Quinn was our Sheriff. Both ShallowsNole and Wrobert know the case.

this may be (past) a good time to use the Private Message function.

So anyhoo - is it true that the WCSO doesn't have equipment that records the speed or functional breathalyzers? I would think that would come before a driving track or rapeling tower in the budget, if only for liability/conviction reasons.
P.S. I love that the Sheriff's department is supposedly able to manufacture charges, conspiracies, and evidence on a grand scale when they can't even properly figure their own payroll correctly. :roll:

They do have those things. Not sure where you heard that from but it's misinformation.

LOL about your PS

If memory serves me well, that person was found not guilty.

I remember the case too, since I was in the huge jury pool. Huge, because they were disqualifing them left and right due to being related or neighbors or so forth. I was number one hundred and something, and they did manage to seat a jury before they got around to me.
But don't pm me or ask me any details at this late date. I am thinking it was at least 12 years ago, maybe 13, and my memory is hardly reliable for 12 days ago, LOL.
It was a real case, though. I can tell you that. Harper impressed me.

At that time it was the largest jury pool every empaneled in the history of Walton County. Since I was on the witness list I only got to see Harry work during my testimony and during his closing argument. Yes he was impressive. And yes the individual was acquitted of all charges. Well worth the dollars the taxpayers ultimately paid for his services.
