I emailed the State Attorney Brad King on 12/29/15 this is what I said: Can you please tell me how this case is different from my daughter's? Your friend Fred Campbell prosecuted this case and it is exactly like my daughters except this man was under the influence of Alcohol and William Dehayes was under the influence of Narcotics. http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/Birthday-Celebrati on-Turns-Into-Accidental-Shooting-275196361.html Why do you refuse to prosecute Dehayes is it cause he is friends with Sgt. Holbrook from the Hernando Sheriff's office? Is it because you have an issue with Women who have intelligence? I am confused I have been extremely nice to you and you have been disrespectful to me- some of your comments have been rude. I understand you are above the law, have some powerful friends, been prosecuting for sometime but you are an elected official which means you are elected by the public which also means what they say should matter to you if you wish to stay in office.There is no shame in admitting you made a mistake it takes a bigger man to admit that and correct his error. My daughter and grandson have rights and they have been violated by you, your office and the sheriffs office. You know as well as I the investigation into this case was botched. They never investigated and you know they didn't follow protocol. Now I know its not your fault the Sheriffs office screwed up even though they told me it is your offices fault and I quote from Major Terry. "We gave the prosecutor a culpable negligent case and they refused to prosecute. I had questions so I called the State Attorney and was told the same thing as you about the Appellate and Supreme Court. There is nothing we can do as the State Attorney just refuses to prosecute." So I would like to know and I truly apologize you think you are telling me the same thing but if I truly understood the reasoning I would not continue to fight this. I realize you don't care how much I fight this as it wasn't your daughter or grandchild and you are above the law and can get away with anything. The law doesn't need to be changed it needs to be enforced. I really think there is something fishy going on in Hernando County between your office and the Sheriffs office. Dehayes admitted in a video tape interview he committed manslaughter and you are letting him get away with it. I really would appreciate you reading this story on Eric Stayton and maybe talk to your friend Fred Campbell how he prosecuted this case and getting around on the appeal process. I can think of many cases that can be overturned. When its illegal in one county and not illegal in another. I have close to 13 thousand people who agree with me. I am a grieving mother and grandmother and I have been told it is your job to get justice for my daughter and grandson there is enough case law which I have given you and the case I gave you which was done by a former prosecutor, weapons expert and prior cop lawyer(one who gets cops out of trouble) Maria Kazouris wrote and helped me with it that will uphold any appeals. I would appreciate a reply to this email and for you to stop ignoring me. I am being respectful and courtesy I would appreciate the same in return. Thank you 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? Sincerely, Donna Bryan I never received a reply as he added me to his junk mail folder so I then faxed it and called his office to ensure he got the fax and was assured by Jen he received it- still no reply. On Feb 10, 2016 I emailed him again from another email address and brought to his attention the case of Eric Stayton,( a man who lives in Tallahassee which is approximately 3-4 hours away from Hernando) according to WCTV "Police say that Stayton was twirling a gun around. He went to re-holster the gun, it slipped out of his hand and onto a concrete floor. When the gun hit the floor, it fired, shooting Chaires (who is his sister) in the neck. She later died at the hospital." He was arrested, tried and convicted of manslaughter was sentenced to 3 years in jail and 7 years probation. Why has Dehayes been given a free pass from prosecution when he killed two people? Why is it illegal in Tallahassee to twirl a gun and kill someone but it is legal in Hernando? I finally got a reply and this is what he said: Brad King Feb 11, 2016 8:12 AM (8 hours ago) Ms. Bryan, Respectfully, there is nothing more that I can say about this case. I have given you my explanation in person and can add nothing to it. I can not keep revisiting this every time you read an article that you think is pertinent to your cause. My cause is to get justice for my pregnant daughter who was shot and killed and or possibly murdered since the sheriff's office did not properly investigate the killing. He is telling me that the killer got a free pass and it is leaving the door open for other people to claim the same thing without fear of prosecution. Now this is important for the people who live in Hernando, Citrus, Lake, Marion and Sumtner as he is the State Attorney for your counties. He is currently running for re-election. As of today there is no one running against him. He is a Republican and has been in office since 1989. He makes over $154k a year according to the state finances office. After much research on the internet, many people who have written to me or commented on my posts and news articles, I have found many cases that have not been prosecuted for example: "A Death In St. Augustine" which aired on PBS. Ripoff Report: "State Attorney refuses to arrest contractor who got a million dollar judgement with false testimony." A case involving a child that was raped and murdered (I am withholding the name for respect to the parents and child) They didn't file charges on all the people involved. These are but a few there are many more you can find. The Sheriff is also running for re-election in Hernando County and currently no one is running against him either. These men may not have committed the actual acts however, they are responsible for the people under there supervision and should be held accountable. Your tax dollars pay there salaries. The saying " You Get What You Pay For" and " Buyer Beware" is something people should think about before they vote.
