This is why the court system is so slow and unnecessarily expensive to operate.

Our tax dollars are pissed away by people with too much time on their hands. If we started collecting a fee from them to process their complaints, they'd stop making them until something really happens.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
STATEWIDE GRAND JURY
AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF OF JUDITH SERAPHIN
CEO, GLOBAL WRAP® LLC

1. Your amicus is CEO and owner of Global Wrap® LLC, a small, woman-owned specialty construction service business with customers nationwide, located in historic Lincolnville in St. Augustine. Our website is www.globalwrap.com.

2. Your amicus heartily agrees with Florida Governor Charles Crist and his well-founded October 14, 2009 request for a Statewide Grand Jury. Amicus respectfully requests that the Statewide Grand Jury scrutinize local corruption in St. Augustine, Florida and St. Johns County, where our former County Commission Chairman, THOMAS G. MANUEL, awaits sentencing on federal bribery charges.

3. Your amicus and her office have since 2005 reported environmental lawbreaking by the City of St. Augustine that was never prosecuted by anyone, including:

a. Habitual Sunshine and Open Records violations,
b. 40,000 cubic yards of solid waste deposited in our Old City Reservoir;
c. Semi-treated sewage effluent deposited in our saltwater marsh.

These criminal law violations involve environmental racism by our Nation's Oldest City, which Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the "most lawless" city in America. City of St. Augustine lawbreaking has for years been blithely ignored by the State's Attorney, EPA, FBI, FDLE, FDEP and other law enforcement agencies. As Representative David Perley Lowe of Kansas said in 1871, during debate on the 1871 Civil Rights Act (a/k/a Ku Klux Klan Act): Combinations, darker than the night that hides them... have gone unwhipped of justice. Immunity is given to crime, and the records of the public tribunals are searched in vain for any evidence of effective redress.

Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167, 175 (1961) (Douglas,J.), quoting Rep. Lowe, Congressional Globe 42nd Cong., 1st Sess., App. 166-167.

4. Your amicus has also reported six felonies by two former employees, which our State's Attorney for the 7th Judicial Circuit refuses to prosecute, even though St. Augustine Police detectives presented him with a strong case, including theft by trick of $20,000. The State's Attorney refuses to meet with me, even after I presented him with legal research at his office's request. My correspondence to the Grand Jury foreperson was never acknowledged. Our State's Attorney winks at white collar crime and corruption.

5. I respectfully request that the Statewide Grand Jury meet in the7th Judicial Circuit and hear citizen concerns about waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, obstruction of justice, Sunshine and Open Records violations by local elected and appointed public officials.

6. I respectfully request that the Statewide Grand Jury be empowered to issue indictments and presentments regarding environmental violations, waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, Sunshine and Open Records violations, obstruction of justice - including the refusal of the State's Attorney's Office for the 7th Judicial Circuit to enforce laws against white collar crimes, without fear or favor.

Was their any doubt as to what would be the outcome of this frivolous complaint?

Quote:
THE COURT, having considered the Petition of the Honorable Charles J. Crist, Jr., Governor of Florida, for an order to impanel a statewide grand jury, and being fully advised of the relevant matters, hereby finds that the petition does not meet the minimal allegations required by section 905.33, Florida Statutes. See § 905.33, Fla. Stat. (2009) ("The petition shall state the general crimes or wrongs to be inquired into and shall state that said crimes or wrongs are of a multicircuit nature.").

WHEREFORE, because pursuant to the provisions of Sections 905.31 through 905.40, Florida Statutes, "Statewide Grand Jury Act," the minimum requirements to impanel a statewide grand jury have not been established, the Petition is denied.

The denial is without prejudice for Petitioner to refile a sufficient petition. See In re Advisory Opinion to the Governor, 290 So. 2d 473, 474-475 (Fla. 1974) (discussing the minimal requirements, under the act, for a petition for empanelment); Statewide Grand Jury #18, Case No. SC07-1128 (June 20, 2007) (issuing an order impaneling a statewide grand jury, based on a petition that met the minimal requirements of § 905.33, Florida Statutes).

The motion to file as amicus curiae filed in the above cause by Judith Seraphin on behalf of petitioner is hereby denied as moot.
