Patrick Gonzalez Florida Supreme Court Brief

I absolutely love this brief (parts of it anyway)…The first 29 pages are just the noise of the case. It is the “he said-he said” chaos that is wholly inadmissible when dealing with co-conspirators when it cannot be independently corroborated by other evidence, which doesn’t include other co-conspirator testimony. (2 or 30 co-conspirators does not evidence make without tangible evidence of guilt)

The basis of this appeal is simply these 2 issues :

  1. Did the Lower Court (Judge Geeker) err in denying Gonzalez Jr’s claim that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to properly file for a change of venue due to the saturation of Escambia County with prejudicial & inflammatory pretrial publicity concerning this case making the chances of a fair, impartial trial, impossible?
  2. Did the Lower Court (Judge Geeker) err in denying Gonzalez Jr’s claim that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to CHALLENGE THE GRAND JURY INDICTMENT FOR THE GROUNDS THAT ESCAMBIA COUNTY SHERIFF DAVID MORGAN ENGAGED IN OUTRAGEOUS GOVERNMENTAL MISCONDUCT BY IMPROPERLY INFLUENCING THE GRAND JURY WHO INDICTED GONZALEZ JR?

Here are the highlights:

About Me

My name is Jimmie Lee Staley. When a high profile murder happened in my hometown of Pensacola, I was hooked. Even though I’m a crime junkie, this case hit close to home. The man arrested for being the ringleader of the assailants that murdered Byrd & Melanie Billings was a man I knew. Leonard “Patrick” Gonzalez Jr. married a friend’s sister. Patrick is a character that many people knew. He was many things to many people but “shooting” this couple seemed. Off. Patrick is a narcissist and he was raised in martial arts, practically from birth. Nothing about this case added up. It was all off. I started researching it full time in 2012. I could not let this go and I needed to do SOMETHING. Having a big mouth pays off every once in a while. I used that as my way to bring light to dark in this case. There is always something that can be done. I am proof of that. One person can make a difference.
