My understanding of FL procedure is that death penalty cases have essentially two trials: one to determine guilt, and one to determine sentencing. To the best of my knowledge, a defendant can plead guilty to a capital crime in FL; there will still be a jury selected for the penalty phase. See...

This search area appears to be within blocks of the Rose Blvd. home where a child abducted from a bus stop was raped about a year ago. Her story is here: http://www.wftv.com/news/18696289/detail.html The home the two suspects were picked up at is very near the Millenial Mall. At least one was...

One of the guys on the video running through the woods & Clarke Park shared that last name, also had first initial of J. That may be where it came up before.

It seems entirely probable that the almost-abducted 5yo walked home with Somer as she lived on the same street, in the same block IIRC, as MC, the child whose uncle reported they walked home together the day Somer disappeared.

Gotcha--so this would be at the north end of Miller, behind Floyd Circle then. I was looking at the opposite end.

Some physical evidence that didn't lead them to where she was? A weapon perhaps? Does Miller cross the tracks at some point? From the map it looks as though they're pretty much parallel.

Article here lists a Crystal Freed as a co-founder of the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Task Force. I haven't looked into the connection to the lawyer. http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2009-07-31/story/task_force_forms_to_combat_human_trafficking_in_northeast_florida

I haven't located any direct connections. But in looking at him again, I pulled up an older address for him and when I mapped it, noticed a gray car in the driveway. It brought to mind the other story of the guy in his 20's with black spiky hair following a girl near Cherry Elementary...

I can't imagine Gannett's lawyers having any trouble getting that case dismissed regardless. If their reporting contained any false statements, I don't know what they were. And truth is an absolute defense to a defamation suit. Defamation, slander, libel in FL defined here...

All the talk about Somer's pictures brought to mind an area I don't recall anyone looking at: who does the school photography there? Seems like the pictures would have been taken not long before she disappeared.

Let me try again: should be for 12-21-10 date http://p2c.claysheriff.com/dailybulletin.aspx I must have been really tired last night: meant 1-21-2010

CCSO's daily report today includes the arrest of a Jimmie A. on numerous counts of using a computer to seduce/solicit a child. Looks like the same guy did a plea to child abuse & battery back in 1991. While not living in Somer's immediate neighborhood, he's less than 5 miles away. Could this be...

Wow. I'm not one to put a lot of stock in things like that, and I'd like to believe that it's just a real common name in that area but rereading that post in this context just gave me the willies. Think I'm gonna call it a night . . .

Wouldn't be surprised if complaint contains errors, as it also asserts that video was taken on company property, and from Duval County Property Appraiser, it doesn't appear that the company owns any property at that location. Common areas (and I'm assuming that would include the parking lot...

Seems to me the only way to possibly determine whether any renovation had been done on Thompson house would be to go look at building permits--public record, but not online as far as I can tell. Thought maybe there would be an indication on property appraiser site, but saw nothing on either...
