Not one St. Johns County Elected Official Has Spoken Out About Michelle O'Connell

It has been some 66 days since the New York Tmes' report, "Two Shots on A Summer Night," on the death of Michelle O'Connell and ensuing evident coverup, exposed the misfeasance, malfeasnce and nonfeasance of St. Johns County Sheriff DAVID B. SHOAR, St. Johns County Medical Examienr PREDRAG BULIC, and State's Attorneys RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA and BRADLEY KING.
Not one St. Johns County elected official has spoken out.
There are five elected County Commissioners.
There are four other constitutional officers, other than Sheriff SHOAR.
Not one of those nine (9) county officials has had a sowrd to say about Sheriff SHOAR and the O'Connell case.
That's pitiful.
They are all Republicans -- Sheriff DAVID SHOAR f/k/a "DAVID HOAR" heads the corrupt St. Johns County political machine, followed by nine political dwarfs.
Afraid to speak out when the Sheriff covers up the shooting of a deputy's girlfriend, with the deputy's semi-automatic pistol, even after it's on PBS and the New York Times.
That's a crime, a tort and a sin.
That's awful.
Not one county-wide partisan race has seen a Democratic nominee since 2006 -- eight long years ago.
"Silence gives consent" is the ancient equitable maxim.
I spoke publicly to the five County Commissioners at today's joint meetng of the St. Augustine Beach Commission and St. Johns County Commission.
I remineded them of their failure to speak out.
It has been 66 days.
I suggested that they and SAB work on an interlocal agreement, providing standards for rexuals, ethics and medical examination in homicide cases, particualrly thoserelated to law enforcement officials.
Not one of the five Commissioners followed up.
Sheriff DAVID B. SHOAR has embarassed our city and our county in the eyes of the entire world.
Our County Commissioners need to speak out.
They need to question SHOAR in public meetings.
They need to pass a budget that restricts his actions.
Never again should there be such a case where the St. Johns County Sheriff refuses to recuse himself.
Justice for Michelle O'Connell in 2014.
