More good news for tourists on/near Duval Street is reported in today’s Key West Citizen (keysnews.com), my interjected thoughts in bold italics:
Three shot near Duval Street BY ADAM LINHARDT Key West Citizen
Three tourists were injured — two airlifted — early Monday after a gun-wielding man opened fire in Old Town. Police charged Derek Michael David, 33, of Sugarloaf Key, with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and display of a weapon while committing three counts of aggravated battery. (Er. “Without intent to kill?” Seriously? He shot the gun at people, but he was not trying to kill?) More charges could be pending, said police spokeswoman Alyson Crean. The State Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case and is expected to file formal charges in the coming days, said Monroe County state attorney Catherine Vogel. The case likely will not go to a grand jury, she added. (??? I suppose Vogel meant she will present the evidence to a judge in a preliminary hearing, for the judge to authorize prosecution to proceed?) The police arrest report describes a chaotic, 1:25 a.m. scene on Charles Street in which police claim David pulled out a Ruger handgun after two unidentified men tried to separate him from a woman named Jodie Marie David, whom he had allegedly grabbed and pushed to the ground. Whether or not Derek and Jodie David are married could not be confirmed as of press time. David then began firing and didn’t hit the two men who intervened, but did strike three tourist bystanders watching the incident (Oh, he didn’t intend to shoot the tourists, when he missed the two men he was trying to shoot - how comforting :-))— Brendon Boudreau, 34, Ryan Reid Ogden, 27, and Scott P. McBride, 54. Their addresses were not available as of press time. Police reported that Boudreau was shot through the thigh. Odgen was shot in the left arm and the bullet went into his stomach. McBride was shot in the thigh and the bullet exited through the back of his knee. Boudreau and Odgen were airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami and are expected to recover, while McBride was treated and released at Lower Keys Medical Center on Stock Island, officials said. Much of the police narrative was lifted from video provided by nearby Rick’s/ Durty Harry entertainment complex security cameras, Crean said. “I use metal detectors at my business for a reason,” said Rick’s/Durty Harry entertainment complex owner Mark Rossi (a former several term city commissioner who has said he has plans to run for city mayor. Durty Harry fronts Duval Street, where the action is in Key West. Where, and nearby, humongous amounts of booze and other narcotics are consumed.), who added that he didn’t witness the incident. The video shows Derek David grabbing Jodie David by the arm and pushing her to the ground. An unidentified man intervenes and Derek David took several swings at him, when a second unidentified man arrives and hits Derek David in the back of the head. The fight then moves to the intersection of Charles Street and Telegraph Lane. At some point, Derek David brandished a handgun and fired four times, reports state. Moments later, a man walked out of the Smokin’ Tuna Saloon, 4 Charles Street, and stopped at the doorway after Derek David pointed the gun at him, reports state. He ducked behind a gate and yelled “Don’t!” three times to avoid being shot, according to police. Derek David then left the scene, but was followed by a witness to Kino Plaza on Fitzpatrick Street where he was taken into custody. Police found a .380 handgun in his possession and found .380 casings at the crime scene, reports state. He was taken to police headquarters on North Roosevelt Boulevard where he invoked his right to silence and a lawyer. David has no prior arrest history in Monroe County. (Wonder how many of David’s concealed weapon NRA sleeper wing nut kin are roaming the Duval Street corridor and Key West every day and night?) He remained at Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island on Monday evening under no bail. His first court appearance is scheduled for today before Judge Peary Fowler. Whether or not he will be granted bail will be decided at that time. (Let’s hope he is not granted bail.) Last year, Ray Anthony Alvarez Jr. was shot on Duck Avenue in October after a confrontation with Anthony Joseph Valdes over money. Alvarez survived the shooting. Authorities determined Valdes shot Alvarez in self-defense after Alvarez tried to stab him. A Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy was shot on Stock Island also in October. The deputy was wearing a bullet-resistant vest and was not seriously injured. Timothy Eugene Thomas III, 25, of Key West, was arrested in that case. (Dodge City Deux?)
Even more good news for Duval Street corridor tourists was reported in yesterday’s KONK Life (konknet.org) E-News blast, I added Matthew Murphy’s photo:
paralyzed for life after being tasered on Duval Street
POLICE TASER INCIDENT SETTLED FOR $850,000
KONK LIFE EDITOR KD — SUN, MAR 20 2016
By Pru Sowers
A little more than a year after the Key West Police Department settled the Charles Eimers wrongful death case for $900,000, the city has agreed to pay another large settlement in an unrelated case involving a police officer’s use of a Taser that left a man with permanent brain damage.
(Recently retired Charles Eimers had only just arrived in Key West in his PT Cruiser to see if he wanted to live here. The cop who made the traffic stop determined Eimers looked like he had just come out of a hospital and was talking weird and was living in his vehicle. Shortly thereafter, Eimers was beaten and smothered to death face down on a beach under several Key West cops. Below is a link to the many articles Key West the Newspaper wrote about Eimers’ death in police custody - but for the blue paper, as it’s called down here, we’d never have heard of Charles Eimers:
ALL COVERAGE ON CHARLES EIMERS DEATH-IN-CUSTODY
The Key West City Commission unanimously approved a $850,000 payment to settle a civil suit filed against the city by the family of Matthew Murphy, who has been hospitalized since the April 16, 2011 incident. According to Michael Burke, the city’s outside litigator, Murphy became involved in a fight with another man who had made “racially derogatory statements” against Murphy’s finance, who is Haitian American. When police officers responded to the scene, Officer Mark Siracuse observed Murphy hit Jason Moffet in the face with a closed fist. Siracuse then drew his Taser and shot two dart-like probes into Murphy. He suffered a head injury when he fell and was transported immediately to a hospital.
“Murphy sustained a traumatic brain injury and as a result is unable to breath on his own, eat on his own or move his arms or legs,” Burke told commissioners in a memo recommending they approve the settlement.
Murphy’s family has charged Siracuse used unnecessary force during the Taser response. Siracuse was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Key West Police Department and the state Attorney General’s office.
Burke told commissioners he believed that Siracuse acted appropriately and would be cleared by a jury if the case went to court. However, if the city turned down the settlement, went to trial and ultimately lost, taxpayers would have to pay for any settlement recommended by the jury. By settling out of court, the city’s insurance company will pay the entire $850,000 cost.
“It’s a business decision. We stand firm that Officer Siracuse used reasonable force in the encounter with Mr. Murphy,” said Key West Police Chief Donie Lee, adding that Murphy’s head injury was a “sad, unfortunate situation.”
“Yes, this is unfortunate,” said Commissioner Margaret Romeo about Murphy’s permanent brain damage. “But I also don’t want our police officers to hesitate using it [Taser] or pulling it out when necessary.”
Burke said Murphy will require 24-hour intensive care for the rest of his life costing an estimated $18 million to $26 million.
“If we rejected [the $850,000] settlement and then we go to trial and it comes in $20 million or $10 million, we have to pay it all,” said Commissioner Richard Payne, a retired judge. “We should not expose the city to a large verdict that we would have to pay. This is the proper way to handle this case.”
In January 2014, city commissioners agreed to a $900,000 settlement to the family of Charles Eimers in return for dropping a civil lawsuit against 13 police officers accused by the family of contributing to Eimers’ death during an arrest in 2013. Despite being cleared by four separate law enforcement agencies investigating the death, the city’s insurance company decided instead to settle out of court.
I replied at KONK Life:

Pru, Naja Girard told me the settlement was for $1,000,000, $150,000 was for Murphy’s son, the rest for Murphy. Martha Huggins told me yesterday that she talked with City Finance Director Mark Finigan about Key West’s liability insurance coverage, did the rates go up after the Charles Eimers case? How about after the Murphy Case? She said Finegan said maybe the city is going to start self-insuring itself. She told me, she wondered if the city now is already doing that? I said I could not imagine the city’s insurance carrier sticking around after it paid out for the Charles Eimers case, knowing the city was not going to clean up its police department. Then came the Murphy settlement, even higher, right at the policy limits. I told Martha, if an insurance carrier does not take an offer to settle for the policy limits, then if a money damage award is higher, the insurance company has to pay for it, even if it’s, say, $10,000,000. There seems little doubt, from the hard evidence, that Officer Siracuse tasered Murphy from behind, without any warning. The plaintiff lawyer had that evidence; the jury would see that evidence, and that Siracuse said he was in front of Murphy and warned him to stand down, and Murphy tried to hit Moffet again and Siracuse tasered Murphy, whose head struck the sidewalk when he fell. My own “investigative corps”, some human, some angelic, told me, Murphy, who was white, and his wife, who were black, were accompanied by 2 black male friends, and when the awful racist slurs were spoken to Murphy and his black girlfriend by a white woman with her pet pit bull, with her white boyfriend beside her. and Murphy went after the white boyfriend, who tried to talk Murphy into letting it go, his girlfriend was drunk, then Murphy punched him – Jason Moffet. That incited Siracuse to taser Murphy from behind. In all ways, my “investigative team” found, this was a racially prejudiced incident. The irony, before going to Duval Street to party late that night, Murphy told his girlfriend he thought he would have trouble on Duval Street, if he went there. He went anyway, and when the premonition showed up in human form, he chose to fight, instead of walk away, and the catastrophe happened. Duval Street is a very dangerous place late at night, due to high incidence of booze and other narcotics consumption. That, too, and the racial prejudice, I imagine the plaintiff lawyer was going to prove to the jury. I can’t imagine the city commission wanted a blow by blow report of that trial appearing in the local newspapers, which Naja’s Key West the Newspaper would have taken center stage, having discovered and broken the Murphy case, after the KWPD had tried to hide it, including making Murphy out to be a fugitive from the law.
[Here’s a link to Key West the Newspaper’s article:
ONE MILLION DOLLAR Settlement in Matthew Murphy Police Tasing Case
Concealed weapons, rogue police officers and Aryan Brotherhood ain’t the only deadly threat facing tourists in Key West - they could catch MRSA:
.
Don’t just take my word for it. Every physician and diver in Key West, and in the Florida Keys, knows, if you go into the ocean down here with a nick or cut on your skin, you very well might catch MRSA. Local physicians are treating patients ongoing for MRSA. Maybe 10 years ago, Ian Garriques, M.D. , a retired infectious disease specialist, who was running Key West’s free medical clinic, where he treated MRSA ongoing, had a letter to the editor published in the Key West Citizen, in which he said MRSA is pandemic in the Florida Keys. When I said at a mayor candidate debate in 2014, that the ocean here is full of MRSA and how easy it is to catch, Mayor Craig Cates said that was not true, our ocean was clean and beautiful. I think Craig actually believed that, because it was what he wanted to believe about his hometown. Key West not being my hometown, I am not constrained to ignore what is known to every physician and diver and hospital in Key West and the Florida Keys. You enter the ocean here at your own risk.
Rick Roberts, AKA Raccoon, a homeless tourist initially, now perhaps a permanent resident trapped here, emailed me yesterday about his MRSA infection:
Subject: Back in the hospital
Hospital…
Right lower leg swollen and increase in pain. Dead skin was flaking off deep.
Ass shot of elephant antibiotics, and told to see my wound specialist today for another wrap or surface treatment.
Norco pain medicine.
That ain’t happening in jail Judge Miller
I replied:
Tell the doctors in the hospital that a friend of yours, who had MRSA twice, and recovered twice, sez they need to keep you in there at least 30 days, under IV antibiotic drips containing multiple high octane antibiotics, which formula needs to be changed every 7 days, to keep the MRSA bacteria from getting used to it and turning it into food that energizes them, and this ain’t no cute little bunny or raccoon speaking here. This be a great white shark.
Rick wrote:
They are afraid of it, I don’t think I have the highest level/strain of this family of bacteria. There is one that is likely to cause limbs to be cut off before you die. But, this Raccoon has gotten enough 11 day visits to the hospital for it that I knew the song and dance. That butt shot is very potent all at once. Instead of a candy cane for being such a trooper, they gave me 30 synthetic morphine doses. The kind the snappers, zombie spice heads, and their fearless leader Tolbert would pay $10 each for…
Not happening!
[Tolbert is Mike Tolbert, who manages KOTS, the city’s homeless shelter, where Rick first contracted MRSA.]
I replied:
Nireogube (Raccoon for morphine) don’t do shit about MRSA … You have about the worst strain of MRSA you can get, that’s why it keeps trying to gnaw off your legs after your quickie trips to the horsepital and the doctors’ quicky treatments res ipsa liquitors nails that down hard, and I know you have to be missing that European beer and riding the Key West buses and sleeping outside in the elements, human and not, which don’t pester you in the horsepital.
Rick wrote:
The synthetic morphine is for pain. The shot and clindamycin are for the little flesh eaters to scream and die from. They prescribe that strength pain killer because they are human sissies, they figure if they had it, they would have to have that.
Raccoons from Mars are immune to pain until it’s at a level that kills our fusion reactor processing unit and its random bubble memory uncased crystal lattice network planted in the right front cerebrum.
That death of a Martian Raccoon usually is because of high doses of cesium 137 or gamma ray/cosmic ray cocktails. Too many of those cocktails and raccoons stumble around like your spice infested zombie homeless Ineffectual cluster fucks in Bayview park.
Here’s a Martian Raccoon in true shift shape…
I replied:
Tell your Earthling doctors that I dis here space and time traveler learned first hand back in 2004 that clindamycin in pill form will not rid you of MRSA. It will knock it back, until you stop taking it, then the lovely fleshing eating bacteria tsunami roars back even hongrier than before. For a space raccoon, they need something like what they shoot in you for rabies, but stronger. I imagine they don’t want you going into DTs, but morphine synthetic is a bit over kill to prevent that.
Kari is at the hospital getting pre-surgery tests run at the lab. She said the front desk told her you ain’t there. I said I just got an email from you saying you is there. Maybe you is in the emergency room, or in a padded locked cell - quarantined. I been know’d stuff like that to happen there. So look again for the raccoon. Maybe she will find him, and if she does, not git nowhere near it, ’cause that MRSA shit is bad catching, believed to fly through the air with the greatest of ease and land on unsupectings.
Shit head city, Key West
Rick wrote:
I was in the emergency room. I was shot with a really strong MRSA drug in a huge dose. You get it in your shoulder it’s too much. They did that knowing I would see the wound doctor today for more assessment.
I replied:
For a Nikola Telsa reinvented Raccoon, you ain’t terrible bright about earth microbes, or you are just a stubborn mutated donkey, or you just can’t do without that fine real beer they ain’t yet figured out how to make in America.
My this morning P.S. to Rick:
My friend Brenda up in north Georgia called this morning about a dream she had last night. A boy was playing with a small Rubic cube. He got tired of going through the steps and just pulled the pieces off the cube and put them back the way he wanted them to be. I said I think that dream is about my friend down here who has MRSA, who is a real scientific whiz kid, but he don’t have bat shit sense about treating MRSA, and is trying to skip the steps to treating it. She said she thought I was right, because as soon as I said that she started feeling a lot better. Hope you aren’t trying to do the same thing with that motion you filed before Judge Miller.
Here below is a brief history of raccoon time about what can happen to a homeless tourist in Key West, starting with the sheriff’s mug shot of Rick, taken after he was booked into the county jail for allegedly assaulting another homeless man named Tim Gratz, whom I also know pretty well:
16TH JUDICIAL COURT
MONROE COUNTY – KEY WEST, FLORIDA
STATE OF FLORIDA
V.
RICHARD JAMES ROBERTS
CASE # 2015-CF-67-A-K
TO HONORABLE JUDGE MILLER,
First, I would like to express my sincere apology for filing the last Motion to Dismiss Court Costs and Fees and then calendaring the date of the hearing on the wrong day and missing the hearing. No excuse.
I have since spoken with Florida Department of Corrections Officer Antonio Ramirez. First, Officer Ramirez had heard from a colleague about your patience that day and that you actually waited until the end of session to see if I realized my date error and then appeared. After finding out, I called your Honor’s office and spoke with the legal assistant about 2:30 PM that day and informed her of my error and absence. I asked her to please let your Honor know I sincerely apologize for the error. We spoke of her not knowing what had occurred in Court and that it may be possible that I could resubmit the Motion again. I herein resubmit the revised motion.
Secondly, Officer Ramirez spoke to me about the Court’s concern and desire to find out if I have an income other than SSDI disability. I do not have a measurable side income. I occasionally help sell gear as outlined below. But it has not been paid to me, it’s used to help further a business, i.e. S3 (Simply Solid State) that he owns/operates. I have assisted this friend by allowing him to use my old wholesale business contacts and have pointed him to some customers from the past. He is developing that entity in Manchester, Mass. Details are below.
That business “card” image Officer Ramirez showed me contains four entities and contact info. SimplyRick is basically a website I did a couple years ago that is still present but in reality does nothing but provide information. It touts capabilities, which I do have if I am healthy. But I am not, so it’s transaction dormant, other than connecting with old customers and passing their needs on to industry people I know.
Because I am homeless, disabled, and unable to do the things I could in the past, SimplyPhysics is dormant. SP started about 1987 and I did do this business and designed ultrahigh performance gear and manufactured and sold audio/video/multimedia gear worldwide. After all the hospital and disability problems that started years ago, the reality is I cannot continue. SimplyGlobal is an entity I wanted to do a few years ago, actually incorporated in Florida, but for the same reasons it is dormant and I never kept up the corporate filings and fees.
The final of the four is the aforementioned S3. This business is the result of meeting a very talented young man in Key West. Anil Wadia has thereby started and operates a computer repair, upgrading, and resale business in refurbished and modified computer systems. He operates out of Manchester, Massachusetts. He was in Key West, and he sold some nice gear here from the wholesalers that I connected him with. He moved to Manchester,
Mass. doing the same with contacts he had in his college and technical studies days. I am still in contact with Anil. Almost all of his money over food and shelter is going back into tools and gear to grow S3.
My portion of that operation is an off and on administrative roll. That is when I am not in the hospital or too sick and unable to provide him with internet web assistance and to do the office & sales support tasks he needs. I’m limited in what I can accomplish (even administratively) due to homelessness, no continuous internet access, and no access to capital, facilities, nor equipment. We communicate as a fledgling effort, and the monies made have been put back into equipment for Anil to use, for extra parts he needed, and computers. None to me.
With all that said, if your Honor is not bored to tears by now, I present Defendant’s Second Motion to Dismiss Court Costs and Fees, which is in fact mostly the same as the first, with updates (as above). I also add on a section that addresses an alternative action request if the first request to dismiss is denied.
Defendant’s Second Motion to Dismiss Court Costs and Fees
The motion’s request for dismissal of court costs and fees is based upon the following:
1) Defendant’s total disabling medical conditions and $700/month SSDI have caused an inability to work for income, and have resulted in homelessness, indigence, and inability to pay the court cost and fees.
2) It became urgent that Defendant accept the negotiated plea (rather than trial by jury at a far later date) in order to be immediately released from custody due to his rapidly deteriorating medical condition. An unwanted result caused by the lack of required medical facility, expertise, and care in the MC Jail.
3) Guilt has neither been proven nor admitted in this case. In reality, if arrest and no conviction stands, and since there was no trial, then there are no court costs caused by Defendant. The State of Florida is the party that caused any and all court costs and fees. They did so by unnecessary overzealous persecution.
4) The fact is, Defendant accepted the “arrested – not convicted” plea deal solely to enable him to have access to, and therefore receive, lifesaving medical treatment from advanced medical specialists and facilities not afforded by the State. If Defendant was healthy, I would have fought the State in trial by jury.
5) Since the First Motion in this case was filed by Defendant, Defendant has again been in the emergency room several times and hospitalized approximately 8 days for highly advanced treatment of MRSA in his lower legs which appears to be caused by the MRSA coming out of an internal dormant state (somehow) and starting back again. Defendant acquired this MRSA from the horrible living conditions and the infected tenants of KOTS. Defendant is still receiving treatment for these injuries from a specialist foot and ankle doctor in Key West, via advanced care from the emergency room (mainly testing and treatment), and by cardiologist Dr. Michael McIvor, whose practice continues the previous treatments and adjusts Defendant’s 13+ medications prescribed daily just to stay alive. This is not present in MC Jail.
6) In the two bond settings, the bond amount was so out of Defendant’s financial reach that even Florida case law states that a ruling as such placing these bonds relatively high is in actuality denying bond. The result was a death sentence via incarceration and poor medical treatment. Defendant endured this for 117 days.
7) Defendant has suffered more than just jail time. Defendant also is required to work with the State’s CO’s Montgomery and Ramirez personally every month since release as discussed below. That jail time, probation time, and preclusion from proper medical treatment in jail are reasons for the State and Court to take the high road and dismiss the court costs. Court costs caused entirely by the State of Florida.
8) Metering out and enforcing these court costs and fees is contrary to what occurred with the probation fees, fees Defendant also could not pay. The State rightfully saw to dismissing them entirely.
9) The alleged “victim” admitted in his original statement that he did not get “struck”, the KWPD officers saw no marks or indications he was assaulted, and he refused medical treatment and medical examination. The alleged assaulted party is well known in Key West for “acting out” in a somewhat delusional manner, calling and complaining about many things from bus drivers to folks like Defendant for events that simply were far from the truth. The KWPD told Defendant that if I had called KWPD first, then the other party would have been arrested. KWPD admitted to Defendant they were aware the guy is “nutty”.
10) Defendant has proof the complainer attacked him at the scene by beaning me with a cell phone and ramming a shopping cart into me knocking me against the PO Boxes to the floor: photos of cuts and a gash and x-rays for a knee injury. A codger “crying wolf” who assaulted a disabled person. A felony.
Defendant asks the Court consider the fact Defendant has fulfilled all of the Court’s and State’s requirements to report monthly to the State’s probation officer(s) and to abide by the limitations imposed upon him, as well as, of course, to abide by the law. Arrest without conviction – and yet 117 days incarcerated, i.e. 117 days of life threatening insufficient medical attention, 117 days of denial of proper medical attention just down the street in the private sector hospital. Lifesaving medical treatment that Medicaid pays fully for. Insufficient medical attention for 117 days the State of Florida apparently paid for, that in essence was a death sentence if continued.
In addition, the Court dismissing Defendant’s court costs and fees would be in the interest of judicial and governmental economy. Doing so would allow this case to end, and therefore lessen the cost of probation and/or for incarcerating Defendant for “court cost debt”. It is Defendant’s belief there should not be a court cost “Debtor’s Prison”. I think if the State and Court do so, at such enormous expense, easily in the hundreds of thousands, it’s incredible, i.e. for a disabled person not being able to pay approximately six hundred in court costs and fees.
More or less it would cost the State an enormous amount of funds to incarcerate Defendant while concurrently causing him health regression and more than likely death. All that because I would be in “Debtor’s Prison” for the simple fact of not being able to pay approximately $600 court costs and fees.
IN THE ALTERNATIVE
DEFENDANT REQUESTS THE COURT SET ASIDE THE COURT COSTS AND FEE’S
If the court costs and fees are not dismissed, then Defendant requests that the Court set aside these costs and fees as a lien to be paid if Defendant ever can pay them. But first, a little more information on what drives Defendant. Denying all requested relief, does not afford fair and proper treatment of a disabled person charged, but never convicted. One who now finds himself being required to pay what the State of Florida itself caused in court costs and fees. A little bit of the tail wagging the dog…
The State Corrections waived their own probation costs and fees, yet their Officers are burdened with “enforcing” what Florida Corrections deems is a probation violation: not paying the court’s costs and fees. CO Ramirez has informed Defendant he will file parole violation if I did not pay the Court costs and fees by April 1. He repeated the urgency to pay or file this at night making certain I was where I said I would be residing at night. Basically Florida Corrections is sticking the Court with the task of putting Defendant in Debtor’s Prison if I do not come up with the funds by then. Funds I am incapable of paying, and funds the State itself caused. I shouldn’t be shackled with court fees and costs. At the very least they should be set aside.
Defendant considers the Correction Officer’s requirement to make this demand as a Florida Corrections Department threat. Defendant does not think this threat was at all personal by the CO, his hands are tied. This threat is couched in the State’s methods of treating people that are convicted. I am not convicted. As I have said maybe too many times, the State caused the costs and fees. It should be their burden.
The alternative of asking the court to set aside costs and fees, while not being desired (dismissal is). becomes what Defendant is stuck with by Corrections to ask the Court to provide. The Florida Corrections policy corners Defendant with no other choice. In the absence of full dismissal, or of a setting aside, the CO’s rulebook appears to demand full violation and “Debtor’s Prison”. Defendant would be sent off to “Debtor’s Prison”, with a sentence that is the punishment for the full felony assault sentence he was never convicted of. Seems barbaric at best. And as a result the State pays hundreds of thousands of dollars for incarceration (and medical) on a roughly $600 debt. A debt the State caused. While ultimately Defendant faces serving a death sentence again. I’m worth more than that $600 lethal injection…
Respectfully Submitted,
