Stanko in Hernando county jail...
Nick Stanko, the scam artist we have been after for several months was jailed last month for crimes against elders. Read the oridginal article here.
Stanko asked the court for a lowered bond so he could get out of jail and thanks to the Center the Judge said no...
That's how the advocates works. As representative for the victims Cynthia was notified of the action on the case and she made the victims aware of the up coming hearing. They showed up at the hearing and had a chance to tell their side of the story, the judge decided to not lower his bond. As of today he is still in jail with a $50,000 bond thanks to the victims, and Cynthia being at the hearing.
That's the way the system is suposed to work...
Thank you Cynthia and all of the victims that where there and spoke up to help keep this guy from scaming more people...

There is a mouse in the house...

"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered.
He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning :

Luke Southern died in his Mother's arms.
Luke Southern died in his Mother's arms Sept 9,1999 yet the man who shot him still walks the streets of Nacadoches Texas.
Three DA's have been in office since that shooting yet no trial has been set and no one will sit with the Mother and tell her why the man who shot her son has not been punished.
After talking with a Lufkin attorney we were told the best course of action would be to send this to the media and hopefully they could get some answers.
