Fortunately for us, the public is stupid and they will believe everything we say.

JOE PUBLIC HERE, WE ARE STUPID? Read the article numb nuts. All L.E. involved in this should be fired.. Maybe a go fund me web site for the family involved will get them the legal support they need for much needed law suit or better yet , a deal that all the corrupt involved take a walk.

If Knight allowed deputies to wear body cams, then none of this questioning of ethical or unethical practices would be happening. The bodycams would show Wiseman's behavior, speech, slurred speech or whatever. Everything would be cleared up with body cams. Conversely, if body cams were worn at the scene, then Wiseman might have been arrested for DUI and For fleeing the scene of a crash -- and then crashing while she was fleeing.

And yes, it's a good idea for citizens to get their own dash cams because they're so inexpensive now. But it's pretty sad when a citizen has to do that -- just because Knight claims that he is scared to allow deputies to wear body cams because he is scared of getting sued when body cam footage is released to the public.

A still picture is worth a thousand words and cameras are worth 10,000 words.

FHP and SSO had cameras on scene. They chose NOT to use them.

[This is huge!]

“She hit us hard, and then was driving 80-90 miles per hour, trying to get away from us,” Davis said. “The way they treated us was like we was at fault. She hit us and she didn't stop! She said she didn't hit us. They said it was her word against ours.”

During the crash, Myron Davis was in his car with:
- Angela Davis, 40
- Malik Davis, 17
- Joseph Hodge, 15
- Carlo Thompson, 25
- Joevon Turner, 15.

Trooper Flow wrote, “Due to a lack of independent witnesses, I am unable to determine if Weissman's vehicle collided with the rear of Davis's vehicle. No charges will be filed."

Davis said, “I figured she was somebody special.”

If it weren't in the newspaper, then nobody would believe it happened. All five of the witnesses in the car (six including the victim) would be admissible in court. It will be interesting to see if this fiasco dies on the vine or mushrooms. As Trump would say, "This is huge!"

After the Herald-Tribune began asking questions about the accident, Trooper Flow changed his crash report. He filed an amended report, removing Weissman's information and her vehicle information from the report.

Lee, can you please post the original report and the amended report at the H-T website? It is legal for you to do that since you are not a government agency.

Videotaping crash scenes is as much about convicting the guilty, as well as freeing the innocent. But sometimes it can be a catch 22. Would you really want videotape of this incident? Honestly?

It's very good that no SSO cameras recorded anything because if there was a recording of Weisman at the scene, then it could potentially implicate us for inaction. As it stands now, it's all on FHP.

lesser things have gone to IA. Time to put people on the box. In today's day and age this stinks of corruption and that is the last thing we need. Do an IA Sheriff and move Flint, he is obviously too close to this prosecutor. The Sheriff will do the right thing he is pro DUI all the way.

[charlatan]

The Sheriff will do the right thing.

Are you for real? Let's a trip down memory lane, shall we? Why didn't Knight investigate Captain Ron Locke (now retired) when a tipster informed Knight that Locke (Knight's political 2nd floor buddy) got a juvenile pregnant and then got her to abort the baby? Since Knight refused to investigate Locke, FDLE stepped in and investigated Locke. Knight is very selective about who he will and won't investigate. Political buddies are safe! Knight is not stupid, but he is definitely crafty. However, the Locke case blew up in Knight's face and exposed him for what he is.

...move Flint, he is obviously too close to this prosecutor.

Flint is fine. He received a cellphone call way past midnight from a drunk professional colleague who was in a jam. Flint didn't know what was going on, so he made a follow-up phone call and sent someone else out to the scene to see what was going on. There is nothing wrong with what Flint did. Flint had absolutely nothing to do with what happened at the scene.

Time to put people on the box.

And exactly what good will that do? Kevin McElyea was put on the box and he flunked it -- and then Knight later promoted McElyea into his "2nd floor inner circle" as a captain. The McElyea case blew up in Knight's face and exposed him for what he is.

In today's day and age this stinks of corruption and that is the last thing we need.

It's a political mess, as well as a legal mess. If on-scene cameras were rolling, then none of this would be happening, but as Knight freely admitted: "He is afraid of getting sued if cam footage is released to the public." Knight's statement exposes him for what he really is. A charlatan.

Because cam footage would be evidentiary, as well as public record.

If Knight allowed deputies to wear body cams, then none of this questioning of ethical or unethical practices would be happening. The bodycams would show Wiseman's behavior, speech, slurred speech or whatever. Everything would be cleared up with body cams. Conversely, if body cams were worn at the scene, then Wiseman might have been arrested for DUI and For fleeing the scene of a crash -- and then crashing while she was fleeing.

A still picture is worth a thousand words and cameras are worth 10,000 words.

Knight's refusal to allow the wearing of bodycams is a total smoke screen.

And regarding what happened at the scene: This case is now a royal cluster that is clouded by smoke and mirrors -- the truth will never be known or revealed. And that's a fact.

The State Attorney's Office is investigating the conduct of Jessie Weissman, the Sarasota prosecutor who was involved in two suspicious early morning crashes on July 17, State Attorney Ed Brodsky said Wednesday.

Brodsky said both prosecutors and investigators assigned to his office will conduct the “internal” investigation, and he would not rule out that criminal charges could be filed.

“Obviously, we're looking into this matter and taking it seriously. We are concerned about it,” the circuit's chief prosecutor said. “We want to make sure that the (FHP) investigation was conducted properly and the right thing was done. We don't feel prosecutors deserve special treatment.”

Oh this is sad. Anything of evidentiary value is now destroyed. No video tape, no BAL, no breathalyzer, no nothing. And Ed Brodsky has the audacity to accuse depuDeputiest deputies of perjury in that other trafficking case. Everything is upside down around here.
