Mad as Hell and hate Judge Schack
I am in the process of filing complaints to the FL Bar on Judge Schack, State Attorney Erin Kirkwood and my son's attorney, Thomas Colter. There is no justice in the courtroom when there's judges like Larry Schack. My son was found guilty for a crime he did not commit and Judge Shack allowed Erin Kirkwood to destroy evidence and not allow certain witnesses that were pertinent to proving my son's innocence. Erin Kirkwood lied in her closing argument and she got to stand up twice... since when is that allowed? Judge Schack gave her everything she wanted...it all went her way. My son tried to fire his stupid attorney before the trial began, because he was unprepared...he did no depositions or anything my son asked him to do and he had been paid thousands of dollars! He just wanted my son to take a plea for something he did not do and refused. My son told the entire courtroom that his attorney was not prepared to go to trial and Judge Shack yelled, "If you fire him you will represent yourself"! He denied my son his 6th amendment right. They all three sided against my son. Judge Schack couldn't even remember my son's name and even stated that he was having problems that day. The jurors were confused about the law and needed guidance and they never received it from Judge Shack....they came back with a guilty verdict ten minutes after Judge Shack told them they would have to return the next day, which was a Saturday. What is wrong with the citizens of Martin County, FL? How can they allow a judge to remain on the bench who is prejudiced and biased against those who come before him? He made rude remarks about my son's tattoo the day of sentencing.....that was out of line and unprofessional in my opinion. The citizens of Martin County need to wake up and elect someone else to do the job....unfortunately, I checked and there is no one running against him this year! God help them all! I hope the jurors who found my son guilty will someday be standing before Judge Shack....especially if it's for a crime they did not commit. I think what he did to your son is despicable and horrible!!!! This was a very messed up teenage girl and your son got her out of the gutter....he cleaned her up and made a respectable person out of her. Judge Schack should have thrown the entire case out of court, but of course he's never going to do that....he wants to go down in history as the judge who has sen tenced the most people to prison while on the bench....and I believe he already has...it totals over a million years. I would love to get a group of people and go to Tallahassee and personally complain against his practices in the courtroom! Don't give up....we will appeal my son's case till hell freezes over....I will be a thorn in their side until they free my son and you should do the same. God bless you and your family. Everyone should remember this quote from Martin Luther King: "THE WORLD BEGINS TO END THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT MATTER"! We need a huge grass movement to change the system as it currently is. Please don't be silent about injustice....the next time it may be you or a loved one.

Again, many thanks.

You can readily see where this whole thing can make us nuts. Stef hasn't
been sleeping well since January 9 (the day of the word) and he has a
constant knot in his chest and stomach. This is a stress he does not need
at 59 I worry about his health and his ability to survive through this
ordeal.
He was just telling me last night that he had no problem going into this
sentencing with Steven serving time as "maybe it would serve him a lesson if he did", but the magnitude of the sentence is truly mind boggling. This is something that has no resolution as it now stands. We wake up daily with it, spend the day consumed by it and at the end of the day feel as lost as at the beginning of the day. How do you live with something like this for sixteen years? And we are not the one behind bars.

Giving 16 years prison sentence to a 22 year old man who had consensual relations with the 15 year old but not hearing witnesses or acknowledging what they have said about circumstances that surround this incident it's preposterous.

We realize that the penal system was setup to be punitive in nature and not remedial. But this sentence is extremely excessive for the nature of the offense committed.

Judge Larry Schack is a mean-spirited man who meets out vengeance, not justice,like a vigilante, or an Ayotolah Khomeni or an Osama bin Laden -- much like any fanatic who is extreme in their beliefs. We don't need to go to the middle east to fight extremism; we need only look inside our judicial system at those
empowered with life and death decisions.
Judges who preside over felony cases and have the power of life or death in their hands, should be psychologically evaluated prior to placement in such positions. The potential for abuse of power is great in these judgeships and the result of such abuse has dire, if not fatal, consequences for the convicted.
In the recent trial of Eugene McWatters, Judge Schack quotes from the Bible:
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Mahatma Gandhi

In addressing McWatters who received the death penalty from Judge Schack. If McWatters is guilty of the crime maybe he deserve the death penalty. But quoting from the Bible was unnecessary as was the unnecessary chemical castration of a man receiving the death penalty and three life sentence.
Schack is a mean and cruel Judge who has no respect for the law or constitution. Judge Schack has no quality of mercy, only self-righteous revenge, and no spirit of the law, only the letter of the law given out in maximum sentences even when the time does not fit the crime.

Steven's situation is not the norm where a predatory 40+ year old impregnates a 12 - 16 year old; this is his wife and he has gone out of his way to support both the mother and the child. What has to really hurt is that so many others so much more deserving of punishment walk away with not even a slap on the hand.

Another thing that really sticks in my craw is the labeling of Steven by the judge as a "child abuser" and "pedophile". Anyone reading what has been said about Steven by the Judge would jump to some pretty wrong conclusions without knowing all the facts, especially when the child was at the center of all of this when he was accidentally hurt. One would surmise from this that Steven abused his child rather than what we assume is the judge's assumption of Steven being a child abuser/pedophile for having sex with the child's underage mother. This is really over the top and a very bad disconnect in this case. And then the Judge ends his sentencing of Steven with "causing permanent damage to your son". What is one to assume from all of this? The words used by the Judge and not explained in the context of what he is saying is really a gross injustice to Steven. And then the newspapers pickup pieces of the story and without the whole reference of the case, cause even more confusion for the readers.

Needless to say, this is a very difficult time for all of us. It is pretty sad when a sixteen year sentence is given out so lightly, with little concern for the ramifications of such a sentence on all the lives involved. I realize that the penal system was setup to be punitive in nature and not remedial. But this sentence is extremely excessive for the nature of the crime committed.

Again, we appreciate your continued help. I will talk to you soon.

Justice projects are pro bono groups who take on situations where the defendant has been treated unfairly or appears to be innocent. There are quite a few groups who have gained fame in working on utilizing new DNA evidence for death row inmates. I am sure that there are some who are involved in less high profile cases. If I can get any information, I will pass it on.

Now for the hard part; I fear that Steven will be treated as a sex offender (which would follow him not only in prison but also for life thereafter), and this is what the judge was referring to (and not the baby). This is where the application of this category is so unjust, since it was not a forceable rape or abuse of a child. The whole thing is just so nuts and I keep coming back to the fact that murderers serve only 8 years of a 25 year sentence.

Good luck! They are crooked us much us Judge Shack is.

In Florida 137 prison facilities. Who Pay For It?

Probation & Parole Facilities:

Over 157,000 offenders are monitored and supervised by the 156 Probation & Parole Field Service offices in Florida. This includes offenders released from prison on parole, control release, conditional release, or conditional medical release and offenders placed on court ordered supervision including administrative probation, probation, drug offender probation, sex offender probation, community control, and community control with electronic monitoring. Correctional Probation Officers also supervise offenders placed on pre-trial intervention.

Probation and Parole Field Services' primary function and mission is to protect the community by supervising offenders commensurate with the level of supervision they require. Correctional Probation Officers enforce standard conditions of supervision stipulated by statute, as well as special conditions imposed by the court or sentencing authority, including victim restitution, substance abuse and/or mental health treatment programs, and other restrictions. Offenders are monitored through field contacts at their residences, employment sites and other locations in the community. Officers conduct investigations, including pre-sentence investigations, post sentence investigations, other state investigations and violation reports. Officers make appropriate referrals to assist the offender with resources available to complete their term of supervision successfully.

Facility profiles contained within the Probation & Parole Field Services section present Region information, as well as Circuit and Office information.

Jan. 10. 2009 Editors note.

NEW YORK States budgets in crisis, governors, legislators and prison officials across the nation are making or considering policy changes that will likely remove tens of thousands of offenders from prisons and parole supervision.

Trimming fast-rising costs
Policy-makers in Michigan, one of four states that spend more money on prisons than higher education, are awaiting a report later this month from the Council of State Governments' Justice Center on ways to trim fast-rising corrections costs, likely including sentencing and parole modifications.

In Florida, where prisons are so crowded that the state has acquired tents for possible use to house inmates, officials say 19 new prisons may be needed over the next five years. As an alternative, Corrections Secretary Walter McNeil told lawmakers they should re-evaluate the state's hard-line sentencing policies and look at ways to help released inmates avoid returning to prison.

"These laws have neither curbed drug use nor enhanced public safety," said Donna Lieberman of the New York Civil Liberties Union. "Instead, they have ruined thousands of lives and annually wasted millions of tax dollars in prison costs."

All of the Probation & Parole supervisions are waste of time, waste of taxpayer's money as they DO NOT function as intended and do not protect the community in anyway. States where inmates who are on probation have to pay $30 to $60 per week in probation fees make it even more difficult for them to stay clean as the jobs they get as ex- inmates pay minimum wages and the state takes almost half of their salary. In most cases they can't leave the area or state to look for a better job, so 80 % of them are back in prison within 8 months average.

In many countries around the world inmates on probation or parole are not monitored at all. If they commit the crime or any offense during that period, they will be charged with the new crime plus violation of probation or parole and will serve for both. It is that simple and it does not cost anything but saves millions of taxpayer's money. And best of all it works. So, wake up America, it is time for change!

Eugene McWatters

Eugene McWatters MURDERED my first cousin aka little sister Christal Wiggins. McWatters CONFESSED CONFESSED! To all the idiots out there who say he is innocent. He was a druggy and a vitim of his own pollution! You, who say "my son is not guilty", YOUR GUILTY for raising a serial killer lady!! Shame on you!! He says he dosn't know what happened, he just lost it and killed them. Well he probably saw your face as he was killing them. Ever thought of that? What did you do to him as a child? GOD KNOWS ! and you will have to answer that question one day. However I wish he had gotten a life sentence instead of death. I want that demon inside of him to stay there and not go out into the world again when he dies. Remember HE CONFESSED!! May God have mercy on his soul and yours.

The reality is that the United States of America, which proclaims itself the 'land of freedom,' has the most dishonest, dangerous and crooked legal system of any developed nation. Legal corruption is covering America like a blanket.

..... it is estimated that 70 percent of low- to middle-income citizens can no longer afford the cost of justice in America. What would our Founding Fathers think?

Our Constitution intended that only elected lawmakers be permitted to create law.
Yet judges create their own law in the judicial system based on their own opinions and rulings. It's called case law, and it is churned out daily through the rulings of judges. When a judge hands down a ruling and that ruling survives appeal with the next tier of judges, it then becomes case law, or legal precedent. This now happens so consistently that we've become more subject to the case rulings of judges rather than to laws made by the lawmaking bodies outlined in our Constitution.....

That would be O.K. if the judges would read the facts of the case they are presiding on, and then make a decision. In most cases they do not read, therefore they are making their ruling solely on the prosecutor's theory and base their opinion and ruling on it bypassing the constitution.

Here is the perfect example.

This case-law system is a constitutional nightmare because it continuously modifies Constitutional intent. For lawyers, however, it creates endless business opportunities. That's because case law is technically complicated and requires a lawyer's expertise to guide and move you through the system.

The judicial system may begin with enacted laws, but the variations that result from a judge's application of case law all too often change the ultimate meaning.

By John F. Molloy

How much justice can you afford?
Will it cost an arm, a leg or much, much more?
What is so good about a "free" defense,
When it takes a high powered attorney to beat the offense.
You get as much justice as you can buy,
And that my friends is no lie.
Just visit a jail and you will see why.
You get as much justice as you can buy.
No money, no justice,
Is how it goes.
A sad but true tale of woes.

When did facts matter to a populace so brainwashed into thinking their government can do no wrong. This is America, use scare tactics.
When one is speaking of releasing prisoners early, it is the non-violent that heads the list to be released, not murders, rapists or robbers.
Law enforcement and the "penal system" operating in the manner they do, is just another government welfare program for those employed in these branches. A way to have a job that is not needed.
These people employed in law enforcement are not serving America, but are operating under a false sense of self importance. The real criminals are the DRUG WAR PROFITEERS who are fighting the war on crime/drugs, but not doing anything to win the war, just collecting their pay checks and inventing new criminals/crimes so they will stay employed.
Government is not a cure for all. Locking people up, forcing these people to behave as you think they should, will not save society from its own stupidity.
