Month: December 2014

Tallahassee, FL—A young black teenage boy charged with the unthinkable—Two Counts of 1^st Degree Murder. The two murder victims—also young— a 20-year-old black female and her 17-year-old brother. Both victims were shot. The black female was about five months pregnant at the time of her murder. She was also the mother of a toddler. The deceased black male was a lost soul. He suffered from a mental disability. The sister and brother were murdered in their townhome—the female victim’s toddler was found unharmed in the townhome.

Only a demon can commit such a heinous act. Only demons can allow a demon who commits murders to go unpunished. Only demons can give demons who commits murders a signed permission slip to remain in the community and murder, again.

In the recent months, Americans across the board have been discussing our Criminal Justice System. While the Criminal Justice System is broad—with many issues—one particular issue that’s most popular is the grand jury process.

On February 7, 2011, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office announced that they were charging 17-year-old, DeShon Thomas, with Two Counts of 1^st Degree Murder. DeShon Thomas, a black male, a freshman at Tallahassee Community College, was also an employee at a local fast food restaurant. DeShon had previously dated the female victim for six weeks. However, they’d ended their relationships three months prior to the murders. DeShon plead Not Guilty to all charges.

After DeShon was charged with the murders, State Attorney Willie Meggs’ office announced that they got an indictment against DeShon. State Attorney Willie Megg’s office would not have been able to charge DeShon with the murders, let alone, get DeShon indicted had Mr. Meggs and the Leon County Sheriff’s Office not filed legal documents containing false information with the Leon County Clerk of Courts Office. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office and State Attorney Willie Meggs’ decision to file legal documents containing false information was a selfish and malicious act.

DeShon sat in the Leon County Jail for nearly three years awaiting trial–there was no physcial, material or circumstantial evidence against him. DeShon had five attorneys on his case at different times. DeShon’s private attorney, who was on the case for sixteen months, was paid nearly $30,000 before he was fired. Afterwards, the court appointed two attorneys (different times) from Jeff Lewis’ office–the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel. Both attorneys filed a Motion to Withdraw. Only one of the motions would be denied. By the time DeShon went on trial, he’d had five attorneys—four who were court appointed. All five attorneys refused to provide/discuss with DeShon the details of the victims’ autopsy reports. Willie Megg’s Office prevented the District Two Medical Examiner’s Office from releasing them into Public Records. Also, there were two circuit court judges—both violated DeShon’s U.S. Constitutional Rights.

During DeShon’s trial, Dr. Anthony J. Clark with the District Two Medical Examiner’s Office was called to the stand by Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell. Jack Campbell is the son of Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell. The father/son (investigator/prosecutor) team worked several criminal cases together. Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell asked Dr. Clark many questions in regards to his findings while performing the autopsies on the victims. In order to secure a conviction for Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, Dr. Anthony J. Clark, a seasoned doctor, committed perjury.

Over a year after DeShon’s trial ended, DeShon, who is in a Florida prison waiting an appeal, is a wrongly convicted inmate. DeShon’s incarceration doesn’t do any justice for the citizens of Tallahassee. DeShon is not a demon! The demons are Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney Willie Meggs, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, Dr. Anthony J. Clark, and all of the judicial officials and law enforcement officers who contributed to the wrongful conviction of an innocent child.

The city of Tallahassee is the capital of Florida. Within a few weeks after sixty-seven percent of Tallahassee citizens voted for an Anti-Corruption Amendment as an effort to weed out corruption in local government—a Satanic Temple was erected over the city. The Satanic Temple is on display in the rotunda in the Capitol (building). It is not a coincidence that as the citizens of Tallahassee finally makes positive steps toward weeding out demons who have been ruling over their city for many years—that a Satanic Temple would make its way into their city. Many people believe that the Satanic Temple sends the wrong message to all citizens. The same has been said about demons working as judicial official who deceive taxpayers—the message is wrong!

Tallahassee, FL—Families are using copies of court documents and transcripts of court testimonies to support their lawsuit.  wordpress.com/2014/…/class_action_lawsuit…/pdf?

Tallahassee, FL—According to reports, on December 8, 2014, Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Charles A. Francis ruled in favor to show that Governor Rick Scott violated public records laws when he used his personal Google mail account to communicate state business. Chief Judge Francis’ ruling has allowed Tallahassee attorney Steven R. Andrews, to move forward in his lawsuit against Governor Scott.

Also accused of violating public records laws is Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. One of the responsibilities of Attorney General Bondi is Chief Custodian of Florida State Sunshine Laws. In an earlier report, Attorney General Bondi acknowledged some documents were inadvertently missing from Mr. Andrews’ records request.

Between December 2011 and December 2013, the mother of DeShon Thomas repeatedly reached out to Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi in regards to laws being violated by Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell and Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney Willie Meggs. In responses, both Governor Scott and Attorney General Bondi repeatedly insinuated that they could not get involved in on-going criminal prosecution.

In early 2011, DeShon Thomas was a 17-year-old full-time freshman at Tallahassee Community College. DeShon also worked over thirty-five hours a week at a local fast-food restaurant. On January 27, 2011, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a double homicide. One of the victims were DeShon’s ex-girlfriend, Laqecia Herring, who was 20-years-old and was about 21 weeks pregnant. The other victim was Ms. Herring’s 17-year-old brother, Sterling Conner Jr. In their haste to make an arrest, Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell charged DeShon with the murders and State Attorney Willie Meggs assigned Sheriff Larry Campbell’s son, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell, to prosecute the case. The father/son—investigative/prosecution team—brought about enormous immoral, misconduct and violations of laws on both sides of the courtroom—DeShon’s private paid defense attorney, Gregory Cummings showed his loyalty to the Campbell Klan.

In mid-2013, in one of many letters directly mailed to Governor Scott, DeShon’s mother outlined how for over two years Circuit Judge James C. Hankinson had violated many of DeShon’s constitutional rights—including the “Right to Due Process,” Circuit Judge Hankinson was immediately removed from presiding over DeShon’s case. However, in a letter to DeShon’s mother, Governor Scott continued to state that he could not get involved in on-going prosecution.

DeShon who entered pleas of “Not Guilty,” on all charges, was the only defendant in the double murder case. Sheriff Larry Campbell was not seeking a co-defendant. Despite paying DeShon’s private attorney Mr. Cummings nearly $30,000, Mr. Cummings refused to discuss or make available the victims’ autopsy reports. After DeShon had been in the Leon County Jail for nearly two years awaiting trial, the District Two Medical Examiner’s Office was directly contacted by DeShon’s mother in regards to obtaining a copy of the victims’ autopsy reports. DeShon’s mother was told that State Attorney Willie Meggs’ Office had not released the victims’ autopsy reports citing “on-going investigation.”According to Advisory Legal Opinion on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s website, there it states, “…investigatory records and files compiled by the state attorney’s office prior to trial of a criminal case (said records and files including copies of law enforcement investigative reports) public records within the purview of Ch. 119, F.S…” (Chapter 119, F.S. is in regards to public records.) In addition, the Advisory Legal Opinion states, “With specific regards to autopsy reports, however, this office has held that they are not within the “police secrets” rule and, hence, are public records and must be made available for inspection.”

State Attorney Willie Meggs withholding the victims’ autopsy reports from public records is a violation of public records law.

When DeShon’s private attorney, Mr. Cummings failed to disclosed information to DeShon, DeShon’s mother told DeShon to fire him. At the time of DeShon firing Mr. Cummings, DeShon was now 19-years-old. DeShon’s case default back to the court to appoint counsel. Nancy Daniels, who is over the Public Defender’s Office, immediately filed a Motion to Withdraw. DeShon’s case was sent to District Regional Counsel Jeffery E. Lewis’ Office. Mr. Lewis was appointed as Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel for the First District Court of Appeal in 2007. He was re-appointed by Governor Scott in 2011.

Two attorneys from Regional Counsel Lewis’ office were assigned to DeShon’s case—both attorneys filed Motions to Withdraw. In the second year of DeShon’s case process, one of the attorneys abruptly resigned from Regional Counsel Lewis’ office. Like Mr. Cummings—the attorney did nothing to build a defense for DeShon. At the time of the attorney resigning, another attorney with Regional Counsel Lewis’ office was assigned to the case—he too filed a Motion to Withdraw. However, his motion was denied (Circuit Judge James C. Hankinson was still presiding over the case at the time.)

Regional Counsel Lewis’ office refused to hire an investigator to assist on the case. In addition, they refused to allow DeShon’s mother to hire an investigator to assist on the case. Furthermore, Regional Counsel Lewis’ office refused to make the victims’ autopsy reports public record. All in all, Regional Counsel Lewis’ office refused to build a competent legal defense to keep DeShon from being convicted.

Having the father/son team—investigating/prosecuting DeShon—a conviction was inevitable—but not without conspiracy and many violations of DeShon’s constitutional rights. Where does a defendant turn when he’s being played by everyone in the courtroom? Though DeShon was too young to know what was really going on, DeShon’s mother clearly saw the mess. And despite Governor Scott and Attorney General Bondi’s responses about not getting involved in on-going prosecution, they saw the mess too.

In the letters and emails sent to Governor Scott and Attorney General Bondi, DeShon’s mother (among other things) mention the possibility of Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell having a detective working as a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective who was not a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective—yet, a wealthy personal friend. Also, DeShon’s mother begged for a special prosecutor to be assigned to the case–to no avail.

In October 2013, with Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford presiding—DeShon’s trial lasted for five days. As DeShon’s mother expected, Leon County Sheriff’s Detective and others committed perjury. Turns out, Mr. Odham—was not a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective. But that did not stop Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford from allowing him to be identified as such.

DeShon’s mother has filed several complaints with several agencies in regards to misconduct and violations of laws committed by officials. DeShon’s mother does not recall ever reading on any agencies website where an attorney was needed in order to file a complaint. As a matter of fact, when DeShon’s mother contacted attorneys asking them to file complaints on her behalf, attorneys told her that she could file complaints on her own.

When DeShon’s mother contacted Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office to report Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford allowing perjury to go to the jury, the response she received was stunning. In an email response, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s advised that she get an attorney.

As the nation is starting to look more and more at the operations of the Criminal Justice System, people on both sides of the spectrum are paying more attention to relationships within judicial proceedings. The only relationship that can be cozier in courtroom proceedings other than a father/son relationship—is a mother/daughter relationship. While Florida legislators may not see anything wrong with this “judicial relationship,” surely it is this relationship that led to State Attorney Willie Meggs’ office violate public records.

Governor Scott’s failure of transparency—a promise that he made to the citizens of Florida—has fallen just as short as the “Promise of Gideon” in the case of State of Florida vs. DeShon Thomas.

Tallahassee, FL—While the nation continues to debate and protest (for and against) the use of deadly force used by police officers against African-American male citizens, at the end of the day—the officers involved and officials on both sides of the debate concur that training (or lack thereof) played a significant role in the police officers decision to use deadly force.

In November 2014, President Obama proposed a spending package of $263M, in part, to be put toward training and to add more resources for police department reform. President Obama’s goal is to help bridge the deep mistrust between law enforcement and the public.

Many communities (citizens) across the United States, regardless of political party affiliation, have agreed that there is a desperate need for the public to be able to trust law enforcement officers.

On November 4, 2014, sixty-seven percent of Tallahassee citizens voted for an Anti-Corruption Amendment in an effort to weed out corruption in local government. With the help of an organization called RepresentUs (based in Massachusetts), Tallahassee is the first city in the nation to pass such an amendment. Tallahassee, being the capital city of Florida, is the home of the Governor’s Mansion, the office of Florida Attorney General, most of its government agencies main offices—offices are located within a block or so of each other. Most of Tallahassee’s citizens are employed by those state agencies —so there is no wonder why the citizens of Tallahassee would anonymously agree to desperately want protection from government officials operating like Hitler’s Regime.

Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell and Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney Willie Meggs have been serving in Tallahassee for thirty plus years. Sheriff Campbell’s son, Jack Campbell, has been employed with the State Attorney’s Office as an Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor for over ten years. As a regular stand –in for State Attorney Willie Meggs during press conferences, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell stood alongside his dad, Sheriff Larry Campbell and members of Sheriff Campbell’s command staff as they recently held a press conference in regards to two Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies being ambushed by a lone gunman—in which resulted in the death of one of the deputies. The press conference, which was held twenty-four hours after the ambush, had some Tallahassee citizens questioning Sheriff Larry Campbell’s current health and his effectiveness to continue through the end of his term. Sheriff Campbell, who is 72-years-old, has cancer. During his press conference, his speech was slurred—nearly inaudible. Sheriff Campbell has not made a public speech or appearance with the media as the training of the dispatchers and lack of communication between the deputies and the dispatchers have been highly scrutinized. As it’s been reported, members of Sheriff Campbell’s command staff have spoken on behalf of Sheriff Campbell. The ambush of two deputies after the Leon County Sheriff’s Office had been forewarned is a clear sign of lack of communication not only on the end of the dispatchers but also within the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.

The murder of Florida State University professor Dan Markel is still unsolved—no suspect(s) have been named. Mr. Markel, a native of Toronto, Canada, was murdered back in July 2014. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office has jurisdiction over the murder investigation.

Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney Willie Meggs has at least two children (son and daughter) employed as Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies. A few months ago, it was reported that Mr. Meggs’ daughter was attacked while on duty. The assailant was arrested. Mr. Meggs immediately recused himself from the case. In the case of the two Leon County Deputies being ambushed, it’s been reported that Mr. Meggs’ son, Leon County Sheriff’s Sergeant Wiley Meggs, made an alert into the dispatch system in regards to the danger zone a couple of weeks before the ambush. What the report doesn’t state is if any kind of alert in regards to the danger zone was directly discussed with Sheriff Larry Campbell or any of the members of his command staff. As the report reads, anyone can type in an alert into the system, but if the alert is serious and the danger zone is real—then communication must exceed just a typed notation—fellow law enforcement officers and safety officers deserve better forms of communication.

While many of Floridians—Americans—would like to respect the Campbell’s and the Meggs’ for dedicating their lives to service, unfortunately, Sheriff Campbell, his son, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, along with State Attorney Willie Meggs have been scheming, violating laws and being of disservice to the citizens of Tallahassee and the state of Florida—and sadly they are not alone. Over the years, Sheriff Larry Campbell, his son, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, along with State Attorney Willie Meggs has committed fraud and has violated the U.S. Constitution. The one and only reason why they have been able to get away with it for so long is because no official wants to be the first official to launch investigation into their offices.

Sheriff Campbell has allowed his friend, Don Odham, a non-employee of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, to act as a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective. Mr. Odham accessed crime scenes, collected evidence, took reports from witnesses, drafted and filed legal documents. Mr. Odham was directly involved in high profile cases—most in which resulted in extremely controversial outcomes. Outcomes so controversial, that the families of the victims and the defendants reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to intervene. However, at the time of the families first reaching out to the FBI, neither family was aware of Mr. Odham not being a full-time certified law enforcement officer. Neither family was aware that Mr. Odham was an impersonator—being supported by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office.

Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell, his son, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell, along with State Attorney Willie Meggs presented Mr. Odham to citizens, judges and juries as a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective. Legal documents were drafted by Mr. Odham; approved by the State Attorney’s Office and filed with the Leon County Clerk of Courts identifying Mr. Odham as a Leon County Sheriff’s Detectives.

As Mr. Odham, a former businessman, states the way he became a Leon County Sheriff’s Detective is as follows, “After I sold my business, I was always hanging around the Sheriff’s Office—so they asked me if I wanted to be one of their detectives. I was assigned a car…” Mr. Odham never identifies himself as a Reserve Deputy. All of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office staff members identify Mr. Odham as “Detective Don Odham.”

While it is not known who all within the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office was aware of Mr. Odham being a civilian acting as a detective, it is against the law for anyone to impersonate a law enforcement officer. And it is a violation of Public Trust for elected officials to knowingly support such a criminal act.

It’s been nearly a year since the mother of DeShon Thomas filed several complaints with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs division. DeShon Thomas, a Black male, was a freshman at Tallahassee Community College. DeShon was 17-years-old when the Leon County Sheriff’s Office began investigating him in connection with the January 27, 2011 murder investigation. Mr. Odham played a key role in DeShon being charged with the murders. To date, the complaints against the deputies seem to have been completely ignored. The unethical and unlawful acts committed by Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies and other members of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office played a role in Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell’s unjust and malicious prosecution of DeShon Thomas. The same as State Attorney Willie Meggs recused himself from his daughter’s case—he should have never assigned Jack Campbell to prosecute cases in which his dad has jurisdiction.

There is without a doubt that this generation wants their children to see/know what it’s like to live in a healed society—a society that has left ugly injustices in the past. But Sheriff Larry Campbell and his son, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, along with State Attorney Willie Meggs—insist on hindering Tallahassee citizens from progressing. Sheriff Larry Campbell and his son, Assistant State Attorney/Prosecutor Jack Campbell, along with State Attorney Willie Meggs refuse to allow Floridians—Americans—to heal from ugly wounds of injustice. The trio is so desperate to keep Floridians—Americans—from healing, they used Mr. Odham to get wrongful convictions and give false testimonies—when well trained law enforcement officers wanted to move forward in investigations—in the right direction—to accurately solve crimes. Sheriff Larry Campbell ignored his own deputies—when they wanted to do the right thing.

As tensions run high across the nation in regards to relations between law enforcement officers and communities—it does not help to know that Sheriff Larry Campbell replaced his Black veteran female detective and her team with his wealthy friend—Mr. Odham—a White man who is not creditable neither accountable to Floridians, fellow Americans or foreign tourists.

There are 67 counties within the state of Florida. When a Florida citizen—a fellow American—or a foreign tourist—walk into a county sheriff’s office for whatever reason—and ask to speak with a detective—that person should believe without a doubt that they are going to speak with a detective or some other paid employee of the sheriff’s office who is fully trained to receive and relay information in a professional manner.

On December 18, 2014, President Obama announced the creation of a Task Force on 21st Century Policing. In part, the task force will examine how to strengthen public trust and foster strong relationships between local law enforcement and communities that they protect, while promoting effective crime reduction. Also, the task force is to engage in federal, state, tribal, and local officials; technical advisors; young leaders; and nongovernmental organizations to provide a transparent process to engage with the public.

First and foremost, it is the responsibility of Governor Rick Scott to administer and enforce laws in the state of Florida. Governor Scott has been informed of Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell and State Attorney Willie Meggs having committed criminal acts and violating Public Trust. Sheriff Larry Campbell and State Attorney Willie Meggs must be held accountable. In order for the state of Florida—particularly Tallahassee — to effectively move into 21st Century Policing, Sheriff Larry Campbell and State Attorney Willie Meggs must be held accountable.

In order to begin to bridge relations between the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and communities, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs Division must properly handle the complaints against those Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies who have violated laws. Ignoring complaints against sworn deputies won’t make the complaints go away. Ignoring complaints against sworn deputies won’t help the community heal.

Tallahassee, FL—In November 2014, sixty-seven percent of Tallahassee citizens voted for an Anti-Corruption Amendment in an effort to weed out corruption in local government. With the help of an organization called RepresentUs (based in Massachusetts), Tallahassee is the first city in the nation to pass such an amendment. Governor Scott’s mansion along with numerous main offices of state agencies is located in Tallahassee. Many of Tallahassee citizens are employed by those state agencies —so there is no wonder why the citizens of Tallahassee would anonymously agree to desperately want protection from government officials operating like Hitler’s Regime.

In December 2013, the mother of DeShon Thomas filed a complaint against Dr. Anthony J. Clark with the Florida Department of Health whose main office is located in Tallahassee. The District Two Medical Examiner’s Office, also located in Tallahassee, is where Dr. Clark is employed. Dr. Clark is also affiliated with Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, as well as being licensed in the state of Georgia. As outlined in the complaint filed by DeShon’s mother, Dr. Clark committed perjury during the October 2013 double murder trial—State of Florida vs. DeShon Thomas. Documents show that had Dr. Clark not committed perjury, DeShon Thomas would not have been convicted of the January 2011 double murders.

Within a week of receiving the complaint, the Department of Health responded to DeShon’s mother by stating that Dr. Clark had not violated any laws. In addition to their findings, the Department of Health threatened DeShon’s mother in regards to information/documentation she submitted along with the complaint.

Following the response from the Department of Health, DeShon’s mother contacted Florida Surgeon General, John H. Armstrong, located in Tallahassee. In a reply from Mr. Armstrong’s office dated January 2014, in part, it was stated that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was responsible for handling complaints against medical doctors. Therefore, the complaint against Dr. Clark was being forwarded to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement located in Tallahassee.

Nearly a year later, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has yet to respond to the complaint against Dr. Anthony J. Clark.

Meanwhile, the Department of Health has used their resources in an attempt to go after DeShon’s mother’s Social Security Retirement Benefits.

In 1998, DeShon’s mother was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease called Scleroderma. At the time of her diagnosis, DeShon’s mother a 25-years-old single mother. After both a dermatologist and a rheumatologist told her that there was no cure and very little treatment for scleroderma patients, DeShon’s mother set out to do what she’d been doing since she was thirteen-years-old…work extremely hard—often times working two and three jobs just to make ends meet.

Due to DeShon’s mother’s pre-existing health condition, she did not qualify for affordable medical coverage. For the next decade or more, DeShon’s mother spent hundreds of dollars a month of her own money on doctor visits, lab work, X-rays and over-the-counter/prescription drugs. The most she spent was $90 a month for a prescription for a 30 day supply—she also had a prescription that cost $75 a month for a 30 day supply—for just two of her prescription $165 per month. (Fortunately, DeShon and his older brother were able to utilize their dad’s medical insurance.)

In 2009, after many years of suffering—the effects of scleroderma began to really take a toll on DeShon’s mother.

In 2010, DeShon’s mother made several trips to the emergency room at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital due to effects of scleroderma. Each visit netted more confusion between doctors at TMH. While they knew that there was no cure for scleroderma, they were confused as to what to do to assist her as she suffered tremendously.

At one point, doctors at TMH had DeShon’s mother believing that she had a life-threatening condition. She was partly prepped for surgery—and then doctors began to argue—the surgery was called off. After what seemed like a “sideshow” at TMH, DeShon’s mother—still in tremendous pain with the belief that she was on her death bed—left her children at home and drove herself to Florida Hospital located in Central Florida (five hours away). (DeShon and his family are natives of Central Florida—they’d been living in Tallahassee for ten years—so Deshon’s mother was familiar with Florida Hospital’s professionalism.)

At Florida Hospital in Central Florida, DeShon’s mother found outstanding relief! After being admitted into the hospital, she learned that there was no life-threatening condition. There was no need for emergency surgery. There was no need for any surgery. Over several days, doctors at Florida Hospital treated her to the best of their ability. However, they would not discharge her from the hospital until she was examined by a rheumatologist.

After being examined by a rheumatologist, she was discharged from Florida Hospital. DeShon’s mother returned to their home in Tallahassee. Not long thereafter, she began receiving Social Security Retirement Benefits (the cost of doctor visits, lab work and prescription drugs were not included). DeShon’s mother, who’d earned wages of over $2800 per month, was now receiving a measly $1200 per month—if that—through Social Security Retirement Benefits.

In 2012, DeShon’s mother, who relocated back to Central Florida, began receiving Medicare and prescription drug benefits—in which neither of the benefits covered 100% of any costs. So there is no such thing as a “free ride” as so many people may be disillusioned to believe.

Speaking of disillusioned…

Recently, the State of Florida Department of Health has informed DeShon’s mother that they’ve determined that her scleroderma conditions have improved and that she will no longer receive Social Security Retirement Benefits. The State of Florida Department of Health came to their conclusion after DeShon’s mother explained to them that the physician in whom they’d repeatedly scheduled her to be examined by was not a rheumatologist—nor was he a specialist. Surely, if doctors at Florida Hospital would not discharge her until she was examined by a rheumatologist (a specialist)—what sense would it make for DeShon’s mother to go see a physician who does not specialize in any area in regards to patients diagnosed with scleroderma.

DeShon’s mother is a longtime member of Inspire. Inspire has online Health and Wellness support groups that connects patients, families, friends, caregivers, and health professionals with others who know exactly what she’s going through. DeShon’s mother has rheumatoid arthritis, fibrosis of the lungs, Raynauds, esophagus issues and other issues brought on by scleroderma. DeShon’s mother never stated that she was “comatose” on her application for disability. To state such extreme disability would be a lie. In fact, according to her employment history, it clearly shows the number of different jobs that she held as she attempted to try to find a career that would cater to her condition—to no avail. Members of the Inspire Scleroderma Community are of all different backgrounds. While there are different forms of scleroderma—overall it is a very debilitating disease. In 2010, when DeShon’s mother began having serious problems with her fingers—another scleroderma patient on Inspire told her what was to come—because the doctors in Tallahassee did not know what to tell her.

Since DeShon’s mother filed a complaint against Dr. Clark, officials with the State of Florida Departmentof Health has constantly harassed her in regards to her financial Social Security Benefits. It is very IGNORANT for anyone to believe that by taking away Social Security Benefits will silence DeShon’s mother in regards to acts of corruption committed by government officials in Tallahassee, Florida. Dr. Clark is a HARDCORE LIAR! Dr. Clark claims to have testified in over 200 criminal cases—the question is—how many of those cases did he commit perjury? The State of Florida Department of Health along with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is supposed to protect Florida citizens. The failure to address the complaint filed against Dr. Anthony J. Clark only puts more and more Floridians at risk of becoming victims of Governor Rick Scott’s Regime.
