Since Brad King, State Attorney refuses to prosecute, I'm thinking maybe he's related to Senator Jim King who also thinks women are expendable imo. I'll be checking that out to see if they are related.
Floriduh Voter, you know that a lot of women voted in the Florida Senate to starve Terri as well as I do.
I'm not sure if they're related. It would take some checking.
I can't believe they aren't going to do anything to those 3. My word this country has turned pansy against crime.

[King] was appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush to investigate allegations that Orlando politicians, including Dyer, are guilty of paying for absentee votes. A grand jury Thursday indicted Dyer and three others, including Orange-Osceola Circuit Judge Alan Apte.

He has prosecuted two sheriffs, but neither one wound up in jail.
Last year, he prosecuted former Lake County Sheriff George Knupp Jr. on charges of perjury. Negotiations resulted in a sentence that kept the longtime law-enforcement officer out of jail, preserved his pension and left him with no criminal record.
Six years ago, a judge sentenced former Marion County Sheriff Ken Ergle to house arrest and 18 years of probation after he confessed to embezzling at least $155,000. It was a case handled by King's office.

He is deeply religious, observers say. Sometimes it shows.
One display of these feelings was in 1994, at the Tavares murder trial of a 19-year-old man convicted of kidnapping a woman and her two young daughters who were on their way to a church potluck. The man raped the mother and shot them all, killing the girls, ages 3 and 7.
After a jury recommended that Richard Henyard be put to death, King knelt in the courtroom with the survivor, mother Dorothy Reid Lewis, and wept and prayed.

Orlando Mayor indicted and suspended in election case
Special election will be held to replace him
Posted March 11 2005
In a day of swift and stunning developments triggered by four grand jury indictments, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer was charged with violating state absentee ballot law during last year's mayor's race and quickly removed from office.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush suspended the mayor this afternoon, issuing an executive order prohibiting Dyer "from performing any official act, duty, or function of public office."

Dyer, Sharp and Apte are each accused of "providing pecuniary gain for absentee ballot possession or collection," according to their arrest affidavits. Thomas -- who was hired by Dyer's and Apte's campaigns -- was charged with "accepting" payment. A 1998 state law prohibits paying someone or being paid for collecting absentee ballots.
"The charges are without merit and are totally politically motivated," Dyer said this afternoon, relying on a "vague Florida statue that has never been applied." Dyer, a Democrat, was first elected mayor in 2003. Brad King, the special prosecutor who conducted the investigation, is a Republican.
Gov. Bush, also a Republican, was visiting the University of Central Florida campus this morning, and said it is his policy to suspend public officials under indictment.

Dyer showed up at the jail at 8:35 a.m., accompanied by his deputy chief of staff, Joe Robinson, a captain with the Orlando Police Department. Agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which investigated the case, arrived at the same time in separate vehicles.

Indictment of judge stuns his colleaguesFV, you all sure have lots of corruption in Florida, at all levels, it seems.Posted March 12, 2005
When Alan Apte became an Orange-Osceola Circuit judge in 2002, he said the ideal candidate had to be beyond reproach.
"A judge," he wrote, "is the conscience of the whole community."
Now Apte, 37, faces charges that he paid someone to collect ballots, an accusation that has gotten him booted off his cases and could ultimately land him in jail.

Friday, Chief Judge Belvin Perry removed Apte from the cases he was overseeing. Perry does not have the power to formally suspend judges.
