Jean Baretto continues to fight for his life after sheriff’s tasered him at a gas pump nearly three months ago. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Baretto’s legal team has allegedly obtained surveillance footage from a WaWa gas station in Central Florida where the incident took place. The incident shows their client being tackled from behind by one deputy while another hits him with a taser.
That taser shot ignited the fire ball that engulfed Barreto and two nearby deputy’s according to the State Fire Marshall. The family and attorney’s of the man say he never committed a crime.
At the time of the incident Osceola Sheriff’s Department alleged that Barretto was part of motorcyclists that were harassing and pointing guns at other drivers. His lawyers claim the video shows the 26-year old was not trying to flee and question why an electrical charge would be deployed at someone dealing with a highly flammable liquid.
“In Osceola County we have no tolerance for this type of behavior,” said Osceola Sheriff Marcos Lopez. “We will identify you and catch you, even if you flee into another county.”
The Attorney’s have asked for a renewed investigation as the sheriff’s office has not released any additional information including body camera video. On Tuesday, he underwent his sixth surgery since the fire. Doctors say he still has a long road to recovery. His lawyers state that he has been fighting for his life for the past 80 days with third-degree burns over 75-percent of his body.
“We’re calling today for FDLE to take this case over or to have the U.S. Justice Department take this case over,” declared the NeJame Law Group. “There’s too much going on, too many questions that need to be asked.”
Jean Baretto still has not been arrested or charged with any crime.
understand but you don’t have to ground plastic containers.
I'm in Hot Pursuit!......................
the good ol days..love the photo! Back then they made movies that made me laugh.
Plastic containers readily create static electricity so, yes, they also need to be placed on the ground when being filled with flammable liquids.
Note to the oann newsroom: Marshal only has one L.
The cop was WAAAAAAAY out of line and should be prosecuted.
Yes - static electricity can form on the surface even though plastic itself is not a conductor. I stand corrected.
Unless your name is Penny...................
...indeed....somewhat confusing to say the least...
don’t mean to be snarky, but..........this is not our fathers’ journalism today.....
“.....the fire ball that engulfed Barreto and two nearby deputy’s.......” next time, try “deputies”......
It’s been found to be a lot quicker to light someone with a taser than tying them to a stake and then stacking all that wood. Less smoke, less work, and a much lower carbon footprint than burning at the stake. Tasers will soon be equipped with attached high pressure bottles of lighter fluid.
According to the author everyone commits 3 felonies a day due to the number of laws in this country.

Well, I have read several hundreds of comments here on FR this morning.
And I agreed with a lot of them!
So my felony count is in the triple digits already today.
I know it might be hard for some to believe in today’s world but there are in fact folks that have never committed a crime.

And they are coming for them in the womb.
That's correct, unless, for example, it's a person's name like Penny Marshall, Marshall Tucker, the Marshall Islands, or the Marshall plan. But US Marshal, Fire Marshal, and even the title Marshal in Marshal Dillon have only one L.
Marshal has only one ‘L’. That’s known as the Martial Law..............
“Probably not”
Probably yes.
