On March 20, 2016, my unarmed son, Ryan, was shot and killed. After two separate investigations, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office has determined it to be a murder. The state attorney for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, Amira Fox, refuses to file charges but refuses to explain her decision. Former prosecutors, countless legal experts, a former state attorney, and a myriad of experienced journalists have reviewed the case, and they all see a murder.
Amira Fox is the only one that doesn’t see a crime. The story that follows is the explanation for the corruption and self-dealing behind that decision, with Governor DeSantis’ participation and support. It’s a hard story for the father of a homicide victim to write, but I believe it’s the path to justice for Ryan.
My book, “Murder & Corruption In Florida,” is available on Amazon, but I will e-mail you a free copy if you’d like?
