NO PROSECUTION: DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYER SHOOTS EX-EMPLOYEE: No criminal prosecution of ex-Mayor FRANK CHARLES of St. Augustine Beach





Controversial 7th Circuit State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA has decided not to prosecute former St. Augustine Beach Mayor FRANK CHARLES for the August 2014 shooting of his ex-employee and housemate in the testicles and chest.  LARIZZA has not yet released any records in response to my request.  I reminded LARIZZA of his legal, moral and ethical duties.  Both CHARLES and LARIZZA are Republicans.

Dear Messrs. Hathaway and Larizza:
1. Thank you.  
2. Please e-mail the requested document(s) in electronic format.  
3. No costs are applicable.  
4. I am not interested in "picking up" anything, whether in Daytona Beach or St. Johns County Courthouse: I have arthritis, vision problems and I do not drive.  
5. Thus, SAO7 must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and kindly send me the documents in electronic format, today, please. 
Thank you all again.
Cordially,
Ed Slavin

Good morning Mr. Slavin,
I am processing your request and reviewing the case file for the items you have requested.
I will let you know when you can pick up your request and what the cost will be. I am working diligently to complete this request, but I won’t be able to get this out today.
All my best,
Spencer S. Hathaway

Dear Messrs. Larizza and Hathaway:
1. The alleged handgun shooting and wounding of Mr. Blake Miles by ex-Mayor FRANK CHARLES of the City of St. Augustine Beach was in August 2014.  
2. In light of our 7th Circuit State's Attorney (SAO7) office's delays and apparent coverup of the September 2, 2010 shooting of Michelle O'Connell in the home of a Sheriff's Deputy (JEREMY BANKS), your long delay in announcing your decision not to prosecute FRANK CHARLES is, at best, inculpatory and revelatory.
3. "We, the People" have a constitutional Right to Know about your elected State's Attorney's decision not to prosecute FRANK CHARLES.  

4. Article I, Section 24 of our Florida Constitution was adopted by vote of 83% of the people of Florida in 1992 -- 3.8 million voters.  

5. You work for us -- please send me the reports before Noon today.  

6. No more delays are desired or required.

7. Please govern yourselves accordingly -- herein faileth not.
Thank you.


Cordially, 
Ed Slavin
