This man Eric Stayton killed his sister by twirling a loaded gun under the influence of alcohol in September 2014. Eric lives in Tallahassee Fl which is approximately 3.5 hours away from Hernando, FL where my daughter and grandson were killed. Eric was prosecuted for manslaughter for the death of his sister. William Dehayes(My daughter and Grandson's killer) did the same thing as Eric twirling a loaded gun like a cowboy would, but he was under the influence of Methadone, Lortabs and Sonoma. William lives in Hernando, FL. Yet, William who committed the same crime and more as Eric got a free pass from prosecution by the State Attorney Brad King. It is my understanding that the law is the same for everyone in the state. Can Someone please tell me Why Legalized Murder is not prosecuted in Hernando County? I have asked Brad King. This is my email to him September 18, 2015 after I wasted my time driving 2.5 hours to his office. Dear Brad King: I wanted to thank you for taking the time to see me. I was very nervous and anxious going up there so I did forget to ask some things. So I would like to ask you now Why is it not a crime what Dehayes did to my daughter and grandson? How does the Fl Statute 782.09: killing of unborn child due to injury of the mother not apply to this case he did shoot her and the baby did live 41 minutes and then died? How is this case not "Culpable Negligence" when Justice Levine say "negligence is the failure to use reasonable care, which is the care that a reasonably careful person would use under like circumstances. Negligence is doing something that a reasonably careful person would not do under like circumstances or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under like circumstances." Who is suppose to protect the innocent victims? You said the petition doesnt matter cause you go on what the law says isn't law made on public opinion? How is Professor Johnson wrong in his analysis of this case? How is the statues which I feel he should be prosecuted on not correct? How are the cases that I gave you not similar to this case? Why wasn't my son in law investigated when he hasn't seen or talked to this man in a long while? I do believe this case has been messed up or purposely messed up by the Sheriffs office I would appreciate you answering my questions and replying to my letter I sent you. Again Thank you for your time Sincerely, Donna Bryan bereaved mother of Katherine Bryan and grandmother to Rehlin and Jade This was Brad Kings reply: Ms Bryan, I gave you the courtesy of nearly an hour of personal time in which we talked about each of these matters. I did that to give you some sense of closure in that I had considered each of the items that you raised and responded to them. The final take away from our meeting was that there would be no criminal charges and that you were going to work to try to change the law. I do not intend to keep reiterating in different forms what I have previously told you. Sincerely, Brad King (Obviously, if he answered my questions I would not be asking him again so I could explain it to my husband.) I also met with Hernando County Sheriff's Office as I feel they screwed up the investigation and here's what happened on October 17, 2015. there were Five men in there. The major, the captain, the supervisor, the detective breedlove and a new lieutenant. They admitted they made a mistake by not calling Child protective services. The Major said everyone makes mistakes but we correct them and move on. He said he reviewed the case and had questions and he said he called the state attorney to get the answers to his questions. He said he was told about the appellate and supreme court stuff and that the reason they couldn't charge Dehayes under the statute of 782.09 killing of unborn child because the state attorney said no crime had been committed to the mother. He said they didnt take a blood test cause he appeared fine and he was having chest pains so they sent him to the hospital but did not ask for the blood test as he did not appear to be under the influence. They didnt investigate Carson as he was a wreck and they felt he had nothing to do with it. They said that Sgt. Holbrook who is no longer with the department he has no standing with the department. He said he could reopen the case but he won't not without additional evidence. He said they gave a culpable negligent case to the State Attorney but the State Attorney declined to prosecute. He thinks I dont like what they were saying I told him I believe the case was handled wrong and I asked why Peter Magrino said that she was killed when Carson handed the gun to Dehayes but in the interview video dehayes admitted he shot her when he was playing tricks with the gun not when it was handed between the two and he said he couldnt answer that I would have to question Magrino but he tried to reassure me that Magrino views all the tapes before he will file charges against someone. I have not heard back from the FDLE yet. I can tell you before we got there they were all in the room together and Breedlove who said nothing looked like he was going to cry and looked like he had been rolled over the carpet before we went in to the meeting.He was also doing alot of writing while we were in there talking. The Major also had written some things down as well. I also told him he could take all the work I had and to please look at it and he will see what I was talking about but he wouldnt, I also quoted the Honsedl v. state. He thanked me for not being a lunatic and staying calm. They stayed in the room after we left we were there an hour and half. He said all he could tell me was to get the law changed cause they will not reopen the case. I then contacted the FDLE(Florida Department of Law Enforcement) I spoke to a nice supervisor Brenden Shaley who advised they will not reopen the case because Hernando Sheriff's Office has already admitted to what they did wrong and they have a plan in place to fix it. I have been to Governor Rick Scott , Attorney General Pam Bondi, Senator's Simpson, Nelson and Rubio. Congresspeople Blaise Ingoglia, Amanda Murphy, Gus Bilirakis, Danny Burgess. I have been told I would be helped and none have gotten back to me. I have now learned about tweeting on twitter and am tweeting every last Governor, Senator, and Congresspeople. I think the politicians forget they are suppose to work " for the people" we are the ones who elect them into office and we are the ones who can elect them out. In conclusion: I am still fighting this injustice to my daughter and grandson. I will not give up! I have a wonderful Attorney who has been helping me Pro-Bono. She is beautiful, highly intelligent, a former Prosecutor for the State Attorneys Office, A Former Police/Sheriff Union Lawyer and A Gun Expert. I am confident we will win eventually.
