Tallahassee, FL—Four years after the New York Times posted an article online entitled, ‘Can Forgiveness Play a Role in Criminal Justice,’ the prosecutor featured in the article is now Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney.

Despite losing the voter of his own hometown (Tallahassee/Leon County), Jack Campbell managed to become state attorney, replacing Willie Meggs—who’d been in office for more than thirty years. Jack Campbell worked for Willie Meggs as an assistant state attorney/prosecutor in spite of possibly having been sanctioned by The Florida Bar. Jack Campbell, whose dad was Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell, spent the first decade of his career prosecuting criminal cases that were directly under the investigative jurisdiction of the his dad at the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. That type of “sweetheart” of a career opened up the door for the Meggs family and the Campbell family to terrorize citizens of Tallahassee/ Leon County on a daily basis for decades. The majority of Jack Campbell’s witnesses (state prosecutor witnesses) were his dad’s employee (sheriff’s deputies “like family members”) who guaranteed Jack Campbell to get whatever verdict and sentence of his choosing.

Paul Tullis, a freelance journalist for the New York Times, quoted Jack Campbell in the article entitled, ‘Can Forgiveness Play a Role in Criminal Justice’, as to saying to a female teenage victim’s mother, “Technically, he told the Grosmaires, if I wanted to do five years for manslaughter, I can do that.”

State of Florida Landmark Case, More like, State of Florida Landmark Disgrace!

Under normal circumstances, a lawyer will pay homage of his career to his alma mater. Jack Campbell was the first lawyer in the nation to use ‘Restorative Justice’ in a domestic violence turned cold-blooded murder case (State of Florida vs. Conor McBride). During this past campaign season, Jack Campbell, a Democrat, lost the only blue county (Leon County) out of six counties (five red counties). For the very first time in over thirty (30) years Leon County (Tallahassee) turned their blue county into a red county hoping to move away from the bondage of the Meggs/Campbell klan. Jack Campbell, a native of Leon County, caused citizens of Tallahassee/Leon County so much sickness through corruptions—Leon County a high number of voters came out—flipped party lines against him—the majority of his fellow citizens did not want him in office. Yet, Jack Campbell was still sworn into office, beating out Republican Pete Williams. As far as Jack Campbell’s alma mater, well, who is his alma mater, what law school provided John Emmett “Jack” Campbell with a Juris Doctorate degree? The Florida Bar cites Samford University, Cumberland School of Law for John Emmett Campbell. However, during this past campaign season, WCTV News stated Jack Campbell as having attended Florida State University College of Law. Which law school would be proud to know that their former student is now Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney? Or does it matter—considering the majority of Jack Campbell’s career cases were in Leon County, where his dad was the Leon County Sheriff, as well as the boss of not one but two of Willie Meggs kids ( both sheriff’s deputies), and Sheriff’s Campbell’s best friend was serving as the commissioner for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the local medical examiner’s office withheld autopsy reports from public record and county and circuit judges violated the rights of defendants, prevented exculpatory evidence, allowed witnesses to commit perjury, and allowed fraudulent records to go to grand jury and trial jury—guaranteeing  all favoring Jack Campbell to get convictions.

Jack Campbell and former Sheriff Larry Campbell arranged for Conor McBride, an admitted cold-blooded murderer with a known history of anger management problems, to have a full contact visit—no handcuffs—in a private room inside of the Leon County Jail with a group of people at once—in attendance was Conor McBride’s parents, Ms. Ann Grosmaire’s parents (victim), and others. This meeting inside the jail (a government building) was unannounced, severely breached security measures for county jails and put correctional officers’ lives in jeopardy. This meeting also showed how favoritism works toward certain inmates inside of the Leon County Jail coupled with Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s office. Conor McBride, an admitted cold-blooded murderer with a history of anger management problems was give favoritism by both Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell and his son, State Prosecutor Jack Campbell. Conor McBride was treated much better than other inmates in the Leon County Jail who were booked on a lesser charge (favoritism to an admitted cold-blooded murder case over an inmate booked on petty theft case—Disgusting!).

Former Florida State University Law Professor Dan Markel, a native of Canada, was murdered in the driveway of his home in Tallahassee. Though it is not publicly known if ‘Restorative Justice’ will play a role in his murder trial, what is publicly known is that State Attorney Jack Campbell is a LIAR! And every criminal case where Jack Campbell’s name is attached—conviction or otherwise—will be subjected to review (retrial) one day.

Tallahassee, FL—Within 48 hours of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office investigation into a double homicide case, LCSO detectives with the Violent Crimes Unit acted on a hunch and aggressively sought out to charge 17-year-old, DeShon Thomas, who attending Tallahassee Community College full-time and working part-time at Taco Bell. Statements from witnesses and evidence that LCSO hoped to support their hunch quickly fell flat. But not before LCSO had violated DeShon’s constitutional rights. Without a search warrant or a warrant for DeShon’s arrest, LCSO charged DeShon with possession of drug paraphernalia and cultivation of marijuana. DeShon was charged as an adult. DeShon pled not guilty.

One detective refused to move past DeShon. His name was, Don Odham. Don Odham had introduced himself to DeShon and his mother as “Leon County Sheriff’s Detective Don Odham.” Detective Odham used racist vulgar toward DeShon and his mother inside the lobby of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. Detective Odham denied DeShon access to an attorney, locked DeShon and his mother in an interview room and held them there against their will—neither of them were under arrest. DeShon’s mother voiced her frustration to Detective Odham, telling him that he was violating her and her son’s rights and that she would be contacting an attorney. Detective Odham’s reaction was to bully Trentin Ross into providing false testimony. DeShon is INNOCENT!

Trentin Ross was 21-years-old. Trentin Ross and DeShon were co-workers at Taco Bell. And when Trentin Ross tried to back away from the case, out of desperation, then Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell, the son of then Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell, took it upon himself to recruit State Attorney Investigator Jason Newlin, along with a convicted felon, Dawuan Williams, to entrap DeShon with Solicitation to Commit 1^st Degree Murder with the target being Trentin Ross. Dawuan Williams and DeShon Thomas were housed in the same housing unit inside of the Leon County Jail. Dawuan Williams approached DeShon and propositioned to murder Trentin Ross—which was ordered by Prosecutor Jack Campbell and State Attorney Investigator Jason Newlin. DeShon did not take Dawuan Williams serious. Dawuan Williams was released for his cooperation. Over a recorded phone line—from the Leon County Jail—Dawuan Williams and DeShon Thomas had a conversation about Rapper Rick Ross’ music. Prosecutor Jack Campbell and State Attorney Investigator Jason Newlin edited the recording—deleting out “Rick”—only capturing the name “Ross”—which is also Trentin’s last name. This edited recording was used to make Trentin Ross and Trentin Ross’ parents and other family members believe that DeShon had a “murder hit” on his life. This edited recording was also played in court to the jury.

Despite DeShon’s mother having paid nearly $30,000 to defense attorney, Greg Cummings, whom she later fired, it was not until DeShon’s third day in trial being represented by court appointed attorney, Regional Counsel Daren Shippy, as to when DeShon and his family learned that Don Odham was never an employee with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. It’s a proven fact—documented in DeShon’s court records—that Don Odham was assigned as the lead detective with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit on the double homicide case against DeShon while other detectives had chose to investigate other viable leads—also information prepared and submitted to former State Attorney Willie Meggs was used by Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman to obtain an indictment against DeShon on two counts of 1^st degree murder and possession of a firearm by a juvenile delinquent. Don Odham was impersonating a law enforcement officer. Don Odham was just a wealthy friend of Sheriff Larry Campbell and his son, Jack. With the many LIES circulating between the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and the Leon County Courthouse, as well as, rogue attorneys and judges being protected by The Florida Bar, DeShon’s conviction was inevitable. DeShon Thomas was convicted without any physical evidence against him. DeShon has been away from his family for six years.

The State of Florida paid Rapper Pit Bull $1 million dollars ($1,000,000.00) to promote ‘Visit Florida’, but used lyrics by Rapper Rick Ross that were repeated by 17-year-old, DeShon Thomas, to instill fear in Trentin Ross in order to gain DeShon’s conviction.

Jack Campbell is currently the State Attorney for Florida’s Second Judicial Circuit. Not only will his past “EVIL ACTS” catch up with him, but any and all cases handled by his office will one day be subjected to be overturned. DeShon and his family are not the only victims of Jack Campbell—the victims list has grown significantly.

Tallahassee, FL—Judges are sworn in to uphold the law without favor of either parties while presiding over a trial. Florida is one of many states where youth can be charged as adults. It is the duty of a judge to especially ensure that a child’s rights are protected as the child is in court.

DeShon Thomas, a Black male youth, stood in the courtroom of Second Judicial Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford as she sentenced him to two life sentences plus thirty (30) years after a trial by jury convicted DeShon on two counts of 1^st degree murder and solicitation to commit 1^st degree murder; followed by possession of a firearm by a juvenile delinquent. The First District Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel represented DeShon during trial, and later filed an appeal on DeShon’s behalf. DeShon’s appeal was denied. Regional counsel chose to ignore many of the mitigating factors that could have at best resulted in DeShon receiving a new trial. (DeShon is INNOCENT!)

Since DeShon’s conviction, a Notice of Formal Charges was filed by the Judicial Qualifications Commission against Second Judicial Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford. Judge Fulford was one of two judges that presided over DeShon’s case.

In April 2015, less than two months after David Dothard, a pre-production producer for Jupiter Entertainment, contacted DeShon’s mother requesting a T.V. interview for their true-crime documentary show Fatal Attraction produced for T.V. One Network, an investigative panel of the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission met. During the meeting, the majority of its members voted for the existence of probable cause for formal proceedings to be initiated against Second Judicial Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford.

Prior to the JQC meeting, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi received information in regards to Judge Fulford allowing perjury in DeShon’s case. There was no physical evidence to support the murder charges against DeShon. The prosecutor, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell (also the son of then Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell—who brought all of the charges against DeShon), heavily relied on testimonies of Don Odham and Trentin Ross. During DeShon’s trial, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell and Regional Counsel Daren Shippy (DeShon’s court appointed attorney) gave the jury “Leon County Sheriff’s Detective Don Odham,” the lead detective on the double murder case against DeShon. (Previously, Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman obtained an indictment against DeShon—charging him with two counts of 1^st degree murder and possession of a firearm by a juvenile delinquent using information—including interviews and notarized documents submitted by “Leon County Sheriff’s Detective Don Odham.”)

As former United States President Barack Obama regularly quotes his mother saying, “Reality has a way of catching up with you.”     

Don Odham was never an employee with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. Don Odham’s up-close and personal relationship with former Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell and his son, Jack, netted Don Odham a Leon County Sheriff’s Office badge number, a patrol car to take home and use at his leisure, a position along with the roles and responsibilities with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit—giving him full access to children and then becoming lead detective on the double homicide case against DeShon. Under former Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell, Don Odham was allowed to impersonate a law enforcement officer.

In July 2015, a Fatal Attraction episode entitled, ‘Crippled by Blood,’ debuted regarding the Leon County Sheriff’s Office so-called investigation leading up to DeShon’s arrest. There was no mention that Judge Jackie Fulford was no longer a sitting judge—and she herself was facing charges. Though she continues to possess her Florida license to practice law, Jackie Fulford has been ‘crippled’ by Jack Campbell. As for Don Odham, the imposter, he premiered in the Fatal Attraction episode—clearly interacting with witness, Trentin Ross.

In 2016, a case integrity review report led a judge in Ocala, Florida to overturn a prison inmate’s prison sentence. It’s been reported that newly elected State Attorney for Florida’s Fourth Judicial Circuit (Jacksonville/Duval County), Melissa Nelson (Republican), may form an integrity team to review past cases for mistakes. No attorney in Tallahassee has called for the review of any cases presided over by former Second Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford. Pam Bondi’s office handles appeals—Bondi has not done anything to overturn Fulford’s judicial rulings. The back-scratching in Tallahassee has run amuck!

DeShon Thomas was KIDNAPPED! He was stripped away from his family six years ago based on LIES, LIES, LIES, and more LIES!
