Ensuring rights for the accusedand convicted is an idea deeply in-grained in the fabric of the Ameri-can legal system. When theFramers met to lay out the Consti-tution 230 years ago, they had freshmemories of a tyrannical govern-ment that accused individuals ofcrimes they didn’t commit and con-victed them in unfair trials. Un-doubtedly, we should be gratefulthat we are protected from a gov-ernment that arbitrarily decideswho is guilty and who is not. Thisis a unique principle that separatedthe United States from the rest ofthe world and we should be proudof that.

Still, in a country that tips thelegal system in the favor of the ac-cused, we should not let the rightsof the victims become overshad-owed. It should be agreed that therights of victims should not take abackseat to those of individualsbeing charged with unimaginablyevil crimes. Yet, in many states enu-merated rights are not extended tovictims as they are to the accused.With the passage of Marsy’s Law inCalifornia however, more and morestates are adopting a Victims’ Bill ofRights, putting victims and theirfamilies on equal footing with theaccused in the criminal justice sys-tem.

Marsalee (Marsy) Nicholas wasa special person. Not only was shephysically beautiful, she was a

truly caring person with big aspira-tions. At the age of ten she was achampion horseback rider and anaward-winning artist. At the age of17, she entered the University ofCalifornia Santa Barbara with theeducational goal of becoming aspecial education teacher. This wasa talented young person whowanted to devote her life to help-ing other people.

Tragically, in 1983, while onThanksgiving break during hersenior year of college, Marsy wasmurdered by her ex-boyfriend. Shewas shot in the head at close rangewith a shotgun. When her parentswalked into a grocery store a weeklater, they were shocked to run intotheir daughter’s accused killer.They were never notified that hehad been released on bail.

Unfortunately, these kinds ofencounters are commonplace instates where there is not a Victims’Bill of Rights. Without theseamendments families are too oftenkept in the dark during the most

vulnerable time in their lives. Theyare left to navigate the criminal jus-tice system with little help or sup-port. Marsy’s Law for All hassought to change that by amending“state constitutions that don’t offerprotections to crime victims and,eventually, the U.S. Constitution togive victims of crime rights equal tothose already afforded to the ac-cused and convicted.”

Since 2008, with the passage ofMarsy’s Law in California, victims’rights ballot initiatives have sprungup across the country. It haschanged how the criminal justicesystem protects victims in Califor-nia, Illinois, North Dakota, SouthDakota, Montana and Ohio.Marsy’s Law says that “victims ofviolent crime in these states mustby law be treated with respect anddignity by the criminal justice sys-tem. Courts must consider thesafety of victims and families whensetting bail and release conditions.Family members have legal stand-ing in bail hearings, pleas, sentenc-ing, and parole hearings.” Thesechanges allow victims a more ac-tive role at every stage of a criminaltrial.

Campaign efforts to passMarsy’s Law in Florida are under-way. Greg Ungru, Florida State Di-rector for Mary’s Law, says that,“we are committed to workingwith the Florida Constitution Revi-sion Commission members, legisla-tors, law enforcement, advocates

We are all familiar with the ar-rest and booking photographs thathave increasingly appeared on so-cial media. These so-called“mugshots” are obtained from thelaw enforcement agency that has ar-rested and booked the suspect.

These photographs are usually classified as a part ofthe public record. They have been available to variousnews and commercial entities through a request underthe Freedom of Information Act or through a simplepublic records request. In Florida these records aresubject to public disclosure unless the law specifically

exempts them.This new law addresses a relatively new type of

commercial business that has sprung up as a result ofsocial media. So called “Mugshot Companies” oper-ate commercial websites that repost or “republish” ar-rest and booking photographs and charge a fee toremove the photos from their websites. Photos postedon one website may be reposted on other websites,causing continuing harm to the reputation of the indi-vidual in question. Some credit card companies havecut ties with these types of websites and some internetproviders have begun lessening the web profiles andaccess to the sites. In recent years, some Florida Sher-iff’s Offices have stopped posting the photos on their

Marsy’s Law was namedafter Marsalee (Marsy)Nicholas, a beautiful, vibrantUniversity of California SantaBarbara student, who wasstalked and killed by her ex-

boyfriend in 1983. Only a week after Marsy wasmurdered, Dr. Nicholas and Marsy’s mother, Mrs.Marcella Leach, walked into a grocery store aftervisiting her daughter’s grave and was confrontedby the accused murderer. She had no idea that hehad been released on bail.

Mrs. Leach’s story is typical of the pain and suf-fering the family members of murder victims haveendured. She was not informed because the courtsand law enforcement, though well meaning, hadno obligation to keep her informed. While crimi-nals have more than 20 individuals rights spelledout in the U.S. Constitution, the surviving familymembers of murder victims have none.

My life changed forever on March 23, 2017. An-other convicted felon broke into my home andmurdered my beautiful wife of 41 years. Our fivechildren and I have agonized over the past tenmonths, kept mostly in the dark and navigatingnumerous, brief hearings – all while grieving forthe tragic loss of life. We’re doing everything wecan to speak up for my bride during the criminaljustice process, because her voice was taken fromher and from us. Things would be much easier ifcrime victims and their families had enumeratedprotections in the Florida Constitution. That’s whywe need Marsy’s Law.

Nine months and counting and the nightmarecontinues. Nine court hearings and we have deter-mined the murderer’s competence and thereforemust stand trial. There is a constant lack of infor-mation as the legal system is on hold for whateveryone knew was malingering. Not knowing forcertain what the next step is because until the com-petency issue is resolved there is no telling whatthe defense will be. Unlike criminals, who are re-quired by law to be informed of their rights, thereis no set procedure for victims or their families. Noguarantee that those involved with the case willkeep us updated with pertinent information, orthat we’ll ever be able to speak at hearings. I hadto sit silently while the court scheduled one of theuseless hearings on Aug 22, which would havebeen our 42 anniversary. I have pleaded with theAssistant State Attorney to NOT allow the DefenseCounsel to waive the defendant’s appearance atthese hearings. I never know if he is going to comeout or not.

If the Constitution Revision Commission passesMarsy’s Law, and Floridians indicate their supporton the 2018 General Election ballot, a permanentCrime Victims’ Bill of Rights will be added to ourstate constitution. The rights of the accused will re-main in-place and unchanged, but victims will fi-

own websites, though they still list the name, address and crimi-nal charges.

Some states have passed new laws that prohibit publicrecords being used for commercial purposes. Apparently, 13states have enacted legislation designed to prohibit commercialwebsite operators from posting these mug shot photos on a web-site. Now, the Florida legislature has also taken on this issue.

A recently enacted statute prohibits any person or entity thatpublishes arrest and booking photographs to solicit or accept afee to remove the photograph. Within 10 calendar days of receiv-ing a written request by the person in the photograph or theirlegal representative, the publisher of the photograph must re-move it from public display. The person seeking a removal of hisor her “mugshot” must mail, using registered mail, the writtenrequest along with sufficient proof of identification to the regis-tered agent of the publisher of the photograph.

The new law requires that if the publisher does not removethe photograph, the person whose mugshot was published orotherwise disseminated may bring a civil action to have the courtissue an injunction. The new law also provides that the court mayalso impose a civil penalty of $1,000 per day for noncompliancewith the injunction and, in addition, must award reasonable at-torneys’ fees and court costs related to issuing and enforcing theinjunction. The monies recovered for the civil penalties are de-posited into the general revenue fund of the state of Florida.

Under the new law the refusal to remove a mug shot photo-graph after a written request constitutes what the statute calls“unfair or deceptive trade practices” and subjects the publisherto additional penalties under the Florida Deceptive and UnfairTrade Practices Act. This new law, identified in the records of the2017 Florida legislature as Senate Bill 118, takes effect July 1, 2018.It was approved by the Governor on June 16, 2017. The secretword is freezer.

nally have equal protections. They will have the right to receivetimely notification of major developments in their case, to havea voice during plea bargains for example rather than being am-bushed by the information that a plea bargain has been struck.To be treated with compassion.

The Constitutional Revision Committee will be coming toUNF in Jacksonville, FL on February 20. There is nothing Iwould like more than to pack that campus with purple shirtedsupporters of Marcy’s Law. I believe these rights are coming.Floridians primarily vote pro-justice for issues that level theplaying field between victims and those who victimize.

I know Marsy’s Law won’t bring my wife back. Nothing willdo that. It would make it easier for us to heal. It will remind usthat we have a voice, and that our voice matters. Please join mein supporting Marsy’s Law.

Florida’s 2018 Legislative Session is under-way and already life-saving legislation to curbthe national opioid crisis passed a key Housecommittee. Last week, HB 21 unanimouslypassed the House Health Quality Subcommit-tee. The bill, sponsored by State RepresentativeJim Boyd, aims to stop opioid addiction beforeit begins. 

This bill limits the initial prescription pillamounts for opioid-based painkillers in mostacute pain cases. Limiting the length of time ofan initial opioid prescription decreases thechances of addiction. 

HB 21 also requires that medical profession-als check the Prescription Drug Monitoring Pro-gram database before writing a script for apowerful painkiller. This step will help prevent

doctor shopping, keeping deadly opioids offour streets. 

It is still early in the legislative session, butI am encouraged by the passage of HB 21 thisfirst week. The companion bill, sponsored byState Senator Lizbeth Benacquisto, was alsoworkshopped in a committee meeting lastweek. 

I want to personally thank Senator Benac-quisto and Representative Boyd for sponsoringthis life-saving legislation. I also want to thankeach member of the House Health Quality Sub-committee for voting unanimously to pass HB21. 

Working together this Session, we canstrengthen protection for patients and help savelives in Florida.

Police Officer of the Month

John T. Whitcomb

John is currently assigned to work patrol in Zone 2 which in-cludes the Arlington, Fort Caroline and Regency areas of the city.He is not recognized for one specific incident, but for his exemplarywork during several cases that took place in late summer of thisyear.

On August 11th, a burglary was reported at a residence on Ja-maica Road. In this particular case the victim reported that somelawn equipment had been stolen from the property.

John assisted the victim with reaching out to the business where the equipment waspurchased so that they could obtain the serial numbers to aid in the investigation. This in-formation helped John locate the equipment that was illegally pawned by the suspect.

He immediately responded to the pawn shop and placed holds on the items while ar-rest warrants were being issued.

A week later on August 18th, John alerted all JSO officers, detailing the suspect infor-mation and a description of a vehicle that was possibly used during the crime.

Two days later, while John was off-duty and in his personal vehicle, he observed thesuspect vehicle traveling on Beach Boulevard. John was able to safely keep the vehicle inhis sight while he relayed information to a dispatcher. As a result of his efforts, a traffic stopwas conducted and the suspect was apprehended and confessed to the crime.

Also, this past summer, John was assisting in an investigation involving retail thefts ata popular department store chain. Ultimately, the information gathered helped John identifythe suspect and link the individual to multiple grand theft cases at several store locationsin Jacksonville.

On August 21st, John was working an off-duty job when he spotted a vehicle believedto be used during the crimes. John requested backup and together they conducted a trafficstop and took the suspect into custody without incident. John’s years of police work helpedhim in obtaining a confession from the suspect for multiple theft cases.

In addition, John and his wife discovered that several burglaries to residences had oc-curred in the community where they live. John did his research and met with one of the vic-tims to find out more details. John worked with his neighbor to obtain the serial numbersfor some of the stolen items.

Using the resources available to him, John was able to locate the items at an area pawnshop. Thanks to John’s assistance, the property was recovered and the suspect was takeninto custody.

John’s immediate supervisor, Police Sergeant Todd Weeks said, “Officer Whitcomb’scommitment to the citizens of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is unprece-dented. Whether on or off duty, Officer Whitcomb makes our city and community safer.”

Following the original nomination, John received a Letter of Commendation from hissupervisor highlighting his work in the search for a missing three-year old in mid-Octoberof this year.

JANUARY 2018 THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIMS’ ADVOCATE • 3

TO PROTECT And SERVEOur monthly recognition for the best of the best

ON THE SIDEOF VICTIMS!

Police Supervisor of the Month

Sergeant Kenneth N. Lamb

Ken is currently assigned to work as a supervisor in the Emer-gency Preparedness unit. He is recognized for his overall work ethicand for continuing to exemplify the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office CoreValue of “Always Improving.”

Throughout 2017, Ken has been an integral part of several col-laborative efforts to prepare the City of Jacksonville and JSO for anumber of emergency situations.

He helped revise policies to reflect the current best practicesused throughout the country in regards to active shooter incident management.

Ken spent many hours researching, developing and improving lesson plans to be taughtto his supervisors on this crucial topic. The training provided essential tools to supervisorsto aid effective command and control during active shooter situations.

So far, Ken and Sergeant Scott Rammage, who works at the Academy, have taught thisclass to about 100 supervisors from JSO, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach and NeptuneBeach Police Departments.

Throughout late Spring and Summer, Ken travelled to Gainesville for four weeks to at-tend the Florida Leadership Academy conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforce-ment. This course, led by many of the state’s law enforcement leaders, taught him newsupervisory skills that he has applied to his job at JSO. In mid-August Ken graduated fromthe class.

Since making a lateral move to work in the Emergency Preparedness section earlier thisyear, Ken has served as the Planning Section Chief in the Incident Command Structure duringseveral major events including: Hurricane Irma, the 2017 Florida-Georgia game, and theCommission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies conference that JSO hosted twoweeks ago.

Ken’s former supervisor, Police Lieutenant Paul Restivo said, “Ken is a perfect exampleof a Sergeant who never stops learning and is continually trying to improve. He does this notjust to benefit himself, but for the benefit of his subordinates, his Unit, and our agency.”

Corrections Officer of the Month

Ray Sepulveda

Ray is currently assigned to work the public reception area atthe Community Transition Center. He is recognized for his work dur-ing two incidents that occurred in June and July of this year whileworking at the JSO facility.

On June 17th, Ray observed a lone parked car at the intersectionof Church Street and Catherine Street. Ray thought this was suspi-cious and worked with patrol to see if the car had been stolen. As itturned out the tag number came back that the vehicle had been re-

ported stolen just three days earlier on June 14th. Due to Officer Sepulveda’s attention to de-tail, JSO was able to recover the stolen vehicle.

A few weeks later, two civilians entered the lobby area of the JSO facility. Upon entering,one female went to the Kiosk machine where deposits are made to inmates’ commissary ac-counts, while the other female went to the restroom. When they were done they exited thebuilding.

Ray observed that the woman that went into the restroom appeared to be very nervous.Due to his observations and suspicions, he conducted a search inside the restroom and dis-covered a brown bag inside the trash can containing items including, but not limited to: to-bacco, coffee, toothpaste, razors, chocolate and a picture of a female.

Ray immediately notified a supervisor who responded to the scene and aided in the in-vestigation. He noticed that the picture had a name written on the back of it and conducteda search of the visitation log from earlier in the month. Ray and the sergeant were able toidentify the woman in the picture and place her on the permanently banned list for all JSOCorrections facilities.

Ray’s immediate supervisor, Sergeant Jeffrey Chestnut said, “Officer Sepulveda is some-one that can be consistently counted on to have an excellent attitude towards his work, hisco-workers and the inmates he comes in contact with on a daily basis.” He went on to say,“his calm yet confident demeanor is an invaluable asset to those that work with or aroundhim. Whenever an issue arises he is capable of handling the problem; if assistance is neededthen he knows what area and personnel to contact.”

Reserve Officer of the Month

Brian Owen

Brian is a Lieutenant with the Orange Park Fire Department andhe also works for Trauma One. When he is not working, he volun-teers his time to the JSO and this community in a reserve capacity.He is recognized for his help in aiding an officer after he was shot inthe line of duty earlier this year.

On July 25th, Brian was completing a field training ride withZone 4 Patrol Officer Patrick Thach when they responded to thescene of an officer involved shooting.

When Brian and Officer Thach arrived, Brian quickly went into first aid mode and at-tempted to stop the bleeding. Brian continued these actions while rescue was en route, andafter rescue arrived on scene.

Brian then rode with Jeremy in the ambulance to an area hospital where he was treated.He stayed with him until he was handed over to the medical team at the hospital.

Brian continued to assist at the scene after he left the hospital even though he was re-leased by an on-scene supervisor. At the end of the day, he had worked an entire patrol shift,plus an additional three hours as he wanted to help the investigation team with anythingthey needed.

Reserve Captain Charlie Wall said, “Officer Owen was quick to respond and never hes-itated in assisting Officer Mason.” He went on to say, “Officer Owen displayed excellent of-ficer awareness and medical care as he responded to an officer shot. He is a credit to the Cityof Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.”

Civilian Employee of the Month

Account Technician Elizabeth Verwey

Elizabeth is an Account Technician assigned to work in the For-feiture area of the JSO agency. She is tasked with maintaining the fi-nancial records related to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office AssetForfeiture Program and handling the funds resulting from seizedproperty during criminal investigations that have been negotiatedout of court or awarded to the JSO by the courts.

In addition, she is frequently called upon to provide informationto the public regarding the forfeiture process. Verwey is recognized

for her overall performance and several instances of exemplary service and innovation.In July of 2016, the Florida Legislature initiated comprehensive changes to the Florida

Contraband Forfeiture Act. This included stringent reporting guidelines for forfeiture actionby local agencies. In February of last year, the exact requirements were provided to local agen-cies. During this time, Elizabeth was responsible for funds distributed from the Property andEvidence facility as a result of forfeiture.

Elizabeth reviewed information provided by the Property and Evidence personnel anddetermined what processes needed to be improved to ensure the agency would be in com-pliance with the new law. She previously worked in this area of the agency, and was able toprovide insight on how to better manage the process and even volunteered to become theprocess owner.

Ultimately, Elizabeth’s observations and professionalism resulted in the process beingstreamlined while increasing oversight and accountability. JSO complies with all guidelinesset forth by the state and this improvement action was accomplished with no added cost.

Last February, while Elizabeth was following up and doing quality assurance on JSO fil-ings, she discovered two cases that were nearing the filing dates. She brought these to the at-tention of a Forfeiture Detective, who completed the required tasks prior to the deadline.Elizabeth’s actions were beyond the scope of her assignment, and resulted in 2,600 beingturned over to the agency as a result of forfeiture.

In preparation for a public auction earlier this year, Elizabeth’s supervisors asked her toassist with developing a management tool for preparing seized property for upcoming auc-tions.

She identified process improvements, recommended that they be completed prior to anyfuture auctions, and saw that they were assigned to the responsible party.

Elizabeth also provided both management and staff with a to-do list for each person, tomake sure that everything is completed on-time for future auctions.

Lastly, Elizabeth’s former supervisor credited her interpersonal and communicationskills. He went on to credit her for helping a fellow Account Technician who was new to theassignment. Elizabeth suggested ways to organize and index the information for future re-trieval.

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 criminal jus-

tice 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

In the end,this book is likely to convincemany young people of the sat-isfaction and value of a careerin law enforcement.

I am not a cop, but like most guys and many girls I have often wondered what it’s like to be a law enforcement officer. For those whoare interested in law enforcement as a career, here are several good books about what it takes to get a job as a cop or in a related occu-pation, and how to plan and work toward one of these rewarding careers..

and, most importantly, victims of crimesto see Marsy’s Law put on the ballot inNovember 2018.” If Floridians opt tohave the proposition on the election bal-lot, a Victims’ Bill of Rights will be

added to the Florida constitution. Marsy’s Law isn’t about taking away

rights. We understand why rights forthe accused and convicted are in place.They are there for good reason and they

are inalienable. This effort is about ex-panding the rights of victims—aboutcreating a more compassionate justicesystem. We ask that you consider whatthese changes would mean to the vic-

tims that the Justice Coalition serves.We ask that you join us in the comingmonths in supporting Marsy’s Law. It isa law that can truly make a difference invictims’ lives.

Marsy’s Law – Continued from page 1

Victims’ Bill of Rights

Marsy’s Law significantly expands the rights of victims in California. UnderMarsy’s Law, the California Constitution article I, § 28, section (b) now providesvictims with the following enumerated rights:

1. To be treated with fairness and respect for his or her privacy and dignity, and tobe free from intimidation, harassment, and abuse, throughout the criminal or ju-venile justice process.

2. To be reasonably protected from the defendant and persons acting on behalf ofthe defendant.

3. To have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in fixing theamount of bail and release conditions for the defendant.

4. To prevent the disclosure of confidential information or records to the defendant,the defendant’s attorney, or any other person acting on behalf of the defendant,which could be used to locate or harass the victim or the victim’s family or whichdisclose confidential communications made in the course of medical or counsel-ing treatment, or which are otherwise privileged or confidential by law.

5. To refuse an interview, deposition, or discovery request by the defendant, the de-fendant’s attorney, or any other person acting on behalf of the defendant, and toset reasonable conditions on the conduct of any such interview to which the vic-tim consents.

6. To reasonable notice of and to reasonably confer with the prosecutingagency, upon request, regarding, the arrest of the defendant if known by the pros-ecutor, the charges filed, the determination whether to extradite the defendant,and, upon request, to be notified of and informed before any pretrial dispositionof the case.

7. To reasonable notice of all public proceedings, including delinquency proceed-ings, upon request, at which the defendant and the prosecutor are entitled to bepresent and of all parole or other post-conviction release proceedings, and to bepresent at all such proceedings.

8. To be heard, upon request, at any proceeding, including any delinquency pro-ceeding, involving a post-arrest release decision, plea, sentencing, post-convic-

tion release decision, or any proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue.9. To a speedy trial and a prompt and final conclusion of the case and any related

post-judgment proceedings.10. To provide information to a probation department official conducting a pre-sen-

tence investigation concerning the impact of the offense on the victim and thevictim’s family and any sentencing recommendations before the sentencing ofthe defendant.

11. To receive, upon request, the pre-sentence report when available to the defen-dant, except for those portions made confidential by law.

12. To be informed, upon request, of the conviction, sentence, place and time of in-carceration, or other disposition of the defendant, the scheduled release date ofthe defendant, and the release of or the escape by the defendant from custody.

13. To restitution.A. It is the unequivocal intention of the People of the State of California thatall persons who suffer losses as a result of criminal activity shall have the rightto seek and secure restitution from the persons convicted of the crimes causingthe losses they suffer.B. Restitution shall be ordered from the convicted wrongdoer in every case,regardless of the sentence or disposition imposed, in which a crime victim suf-fers a loss.C. All monetary payments, monies, and property collected from any personwho has been ordered to make restitution shall be first applied to pay theamounts ordered as restitution to the victim.

14. To the prompt return of property when no longer needed as evidence.15. To be informed of all parole procedures, to participate in the parole process, to

provide information to the parole authority to be considered before the parole ofthe offender, and to be notified, upon request, of the parole or other release ofthe offender.

16. To have the safety of the victim, the victim’s family, and the general public con-sidered before any parole or other post-judgment release decision is made.

17. To be informed of the rights enumerated in paragraphs (1) through (16).

Below is the California Victims’ Bill of Rights. A similar Bill of Rights could be added to the Florida Constitution if the Constitutional Revision Commission passesMarsy’s Law and Floridians vote to pass the law in the November 2018 election.
