Loyalty Means Everything
To Sheriff Wayne Ivey


If you ever find yourself under arrest in Brevard County, Florida, well.....you have a BIG problem.

First, you have made the mistake of getting arrested in Sherrif Robert Wayne Ivey's county.

Your reverence, or lack thereof, to Sheriff Ivey's authority, well..., it means a whole lot to him. Think of Sheriff Buford T. Justice from the movie "Smokey & The Bandit" (1977), and you will have a fair understanding of Sheriff Ivey. (Our OPINION)

Shortly prior to her August 2015 arrest, Sheriff Ivey advised BrevardsBestNews.Com's* Chief Editor, Dana Delaney Loyd, that "loyalty was everything" to him.

In OUR OPINION, Loyd was never a favorite of Sheriff Ivey. Why, because unlike some Brevard County publications and radio personalities, Loyd cared more about reporting the NEWS, than being loyal to Sheriff Ivey.

* Upon her criminal conviction, AND due to the special conditions of her probation, Loyd was forced to remove her web publication from the Internet. More information will be available regarding, the arrest, prosecution, and sentencing of Dana Delaney Loyd.

Exposing Sexual Peccadillos Within
The Brevard Sheriff's Office


After a March 2017 sham trial - overseen by Circuit Judge Robin Lemonidis, Loyd was convicted of making a false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline. Within her call to the Abuse Hotline, Loyd had reported alleged sexual abuse of a pre-teen girl by her father. Apparently, the child had reported the abuse to her mother, and then the mother reported it to local North Carolina officials - who then reported it to Brevard County officials.

The child lived with her mother in North Carolina, and visited her father in Brevard County, Florida.

This publication has no OPINION regarding the veracity or accuracy of these allegations. HOWEVER, this publication does voice the OPINION that the Brevard County Sheriff Office's (BCSO) investigations, into these allegations, were compromised by the subject father's friendship with at least one of the BCSO criminal investigators. It is of significance, that a North Carolina Sheriff Office also conducted a criminal review of these very same allegations, and came to a different investigative conclusion - than that of the BCSO.

This publication has published over thirty (30) articles covering these underage sex allegations, and their connection to the Loyd criminal prosecution. Within these articles, we (VolusiaExposed.Com) voiced OUR BELIEF that Loyd's criminal prosecution was nothing more than an attempt to silence an investigative reporter (Loyd) from exposing the 18th Judicial Circuit's rather high tolerance for pedophilia within certain local social and political cliques.

But hey, DON'T BELIEVE us, little old VolusiaExposed.Com - instead consider what was posted by Brevard County Deputy Jason Brimm on the BCSO's OFFICIAL Facebook page, immediately after Loyd's criminal conviction. (see right of page Enlarge Text By Hovering Mouse) ---->

Deputy Brimm voiced his OPINION that Loyd had "essentially slandered the Brevard County Sheriff Department and neighboring cities and municipal agencies" - and he hoped that the "disgraced journalist" enjoyed whatever criminal sentence she got.

With Deputy Brimm's statement - you now have the truth of it (OUR OPINION) - Loyd's arrest, criminal prosecution, and sentencing had NOTHING to do with any false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline - rather it had EVERYTHING to do with covering up pedophilia, and the sexual peccadillos of certain Brevard County law enforcement officers, and the powerful elite of Brevard County.

Deputy Taylor's & Deputy Brimm's
Sexual Peccadillo


So, does Deputy Brimm have an axe to grind with Loyd? The answer is, yes he does. Brimm was involved in one of those hidden sexual peccadillos. According to an April 2016 BCSO Internal Investigative Report, Sgt. Jason Brimm had knowledge that Deputy Barre Taylor was engaging in sexual relations with a female jail inmate under his supervision. Because of this knowledge, and his failure to report, or to take appropriate action - Sgt. Brimm was demoted back to the rank of deputy.

As was covered in our August 18, 2016 article, Deputy Taylor, was criminally charged with sexual misconduct with the female inmate - and was eventually sentenced to four (4) years of probation, a much lighter sentence than that of Loyd, who was sentenced to one (1) year in jail, followed by one (1) year on house arrest, followed by three (3) years of standard probation. And there you have it - a perfect example of Southern Justice - Brevard County Style !

Eventually, former Deputy Taylor ONLY had to serve two (2) years of his four (4) years of probation. Loyd is still serving her sentence - for reporting alleged sexual misconduct - while former Deputy Taylor walks the street of Brevard County today, a free man - a man who actually engaged in sexual misconduct.

Deputy Ryan Pill's Peccadillos


In our December 16, 2013 article, we (VolusiaExposed.Com) honored Mrs. Loyd regarding her early reporting on former BCSO Deputy Ryan Pill's sexual peccadillos with at least one underage girl.

Ryan Pill is the son of Brevard County Sheriff Deputy Barbara Pill, who was shot and killed during a March 2012 duty related incident.

SHERIFF WAYNE IVEY'S
COMMENTS REGARDING
LOYD'S CONVICTION


SOCIAL MEDIA SITE EDITOR FOUND GUILTY OF FALSE REPORT OF CHILD ABUSE

On March 30, 2017, a Brevard County jury found 44-year-old Dana Loyd guilty of the charge of Filing a False Report of Child Abuse, a felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment in the Florida Department of Corrections.

On April 29, 2015, Brevard County Deputies responded to Quest Elementary School regarding a DCF investigation surrounding allegations of sexual abuse between a father and adolescent daughter. According to DCF documents, the allegations were reported by an individual claiming to be a substitute teacher, who identified herself as Theresa Smith and alleged that the victim had confided the abuse to her. The Quest Elementary School staff subsequently verified that the alleged victim did not have a substitute teacher for that date and furthermore, did not have a substitute teacher by that name.

On April 30, 2015, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation surrounding the possibility of a falsely reported child abuse. As a result of various evidentiary leads, Agents were able to develop a suspect, Dana Loyd, after matching her personal telephone number to the number that was used to report the false allegations to the DCF Hotline.

Additional information was also obtained through published articles in an internet site named “brevardsbestnews.” It is widely known that the suspect is the “Chief Editor” of the site that published two articles on April 17th and June 24th, 2015, titled, “Please Help Fight for Justice!!!” and “Blood in the Streets?,” which identified the father of the alleged child abuse victim by name, and in the last article, identified both the father and alleged victim by name. Additionally, it was learned that Loyd was allegedly contacting the father’s employment and other organizations where he was volunteering, advising he was a child molester. The investigation determined that the allegations of the reported abuse were unsubstantiated.

During the investigation, the agents interviewed Loyd, who confessed that she had in fact called DCF, and that the false allegation and calls to the father’s employer and others, were harassment. An arrest warrant was obtained and Loyd was subsequently arrested.

As a result of the arrest, Loyd was convicted by a jury of her peers and will be sentenced in an upcoming court hearing.

I am extremely proud of everyone involved in the investigation and subsequent prosecution as the investigation, arrest, and conviction sends a very strong message to anyone who falsely reports crimes in our community.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey
In order for Loyd to strictly comply with the (illegal - OUR OPINION) conditions of her criminal probation, Loyd's 2013 article on Ryan Pill has been removed from the Internet. Thusly, local officials have been somewhat successful in silencing Loyd.

Approximately six months after the publication of Loyd's article, Pill was arrested and charged with numerous counts of "UNLAWFUL SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH CERTAIN MINORS"

It is the OPINION of this publication, that absent Loyd's early investigative reporting, Pill's May 2014 arrest would have never transpired.

We suspect that Sheriff Ivey quickly became disenchanted with Loyd's investigative reporting, especially reporting, involving the sexual peccadillos within the rank and file of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office (BCSO). We forward the OPINION that Ivey's disenchantment with Loyd's investigative reporting was the true catalyst for Loyd's arrest.

These two incidents (Taylor / Brimm & Pill) are just two quick examples of the sexual peccadillos that have transpired within the ranks of the BCSO. If, however, your inquiring mind needs to know more - maybe you should start your research by reviewing our (VolusiaExposed.Com) September 21, 2018 article exposing Brevard County's adult sex escort, Mary "Cougar" Ellis, and her "little black book".

OUR OPINION
Sheriff Ivey's Political Endorsements
Are More Attached To Political Agendas, Than They Are With The Truth


As indicated within this publication's March 21, 2019 article, Sheriff Ivey's endorsements are not what they use to be.

In 2015, immediately after Loyd's arrest, and then again in 2017, immediately after her conviction, Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey made denigrating statements against Mrs. Loyd's character -->.

Failed Political Endorsement


Further, as detailed in a recently secured federal indictment against businessman Donald Donagher, around the same time Sheriff Ivey was denigrating Mrs. Loyd's character - Sheriff Ivey was endorsing Donagher as a "good man" to Brevard Clerk of Court, Scott Ellis, in order to assist Donagher's company in securing a government contract. (see page 14 of the indictment).

In the end, and to his credit, Brevard Clerk of Court, Scott Ellis opted NOT to renew the contract with Mr. Donagher's company. Mr. Ellis had inherited the Donagher contract from the previous Clerk of Court.

BCSO Media Release Regarding Loyd's Arrest

Mouse Over To Enlarge
Apparently, Mr. Donagher was not the "good man" that Sheriff Ivey had advertised him as being.

According to the indictment, (with particular attention to pages 13-14 of the indictment), Mr. Donagher was bribing, and / or attempting to bribe public officials, in order to secure government contracts from those officials. The indictment also alleges that Donagher donated to several Brevard County charities, channeling the monies through Sheriff Ivey and a local fire chief.

We suspect that given the same opportunity today, Sheriff Ivey would still denigrate Loyd's character. However, we believe, that given the federal indictment, Ivey would NOT, NOW, be willing to be a character witness for Mr. Donagher, in his pending federal bribery trial.

Again, because it is so important, this publication forwards the OPINION, that the TRUE catalyst for Loyd's August 2015 arrest, had little to nothing to do with an alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline. After the shellacking the BCSO took in the Ryan Pill sex scandal, Sheriff Ivey was not going to sit idly by as Loyd exposed more failures, or inappropriate sexual encounters, within his agency (BCSO).

Judicial Misconduct Thrives Within Florida's 18th Judicial Circuit

Loyd's Call To The Florida Abuse Hotline


In or around 2013, Loyd became involved in investigating whether a local father, and girl's soccer coach was sexually abusing his own daughter. Loyd apparently became aware of the situation via communications with the child's mother (and / or the mother's associates), and due to the below attached 2010 North Carolina law enforcement investigative report which tends to support the allegations against the subject father.

As we stated earlier, the North Carolina investigation and the Brevard County, Florida investigations (available within our August 12, 2017 article) into these very same allegations, came to no where near the same conclusions.

While, it is TRUE that the BCSO, and the local Court, did "investigate" Loyd's concerns of whether the father was sexually abusing his pre-teen daughter, it is ALSO TRUE that at least one of the BCSO investigators was a friend of the subject father. (see our February 17, 2017 article) Further, the Brevard County judge (Judge George Maxwell) that was initially assigned to this particular child welfare case, was, and still is, known for his rather high tolerance for pedophilia, as noted within a 2001 Orlando Sentinel article.

We (VolusiaExposed.Com) forward the OPINION - that the truth, aligns more with the attached North Carolina investigation, AND an apparent May 24, 2013 email from FBI Intelligence Analyst, Wendy Dufford, in which she also questions the integrity of the Brevard County investigative process.

Judicial Conspiracy Equates To A Sham Trial

This publication covered and video recorded Loyd's entire March 2017 trial, in front of Judge Robin Lemonidis.

It's worth repeating, that we (VolusiaExposed.Com) have published over 30 (thirty) articles in the defense of Loyd, in which we premise, that Loyd's prosecution had more to do with covering up the failures of local law enforcement, and the Court, in not properly investigating the allegations against the subject father, than it ever had to do with an alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline.

Judicial Recusal

In March 2018, Lemonidis self recused herself from the Loyd case, after she went on a courtroom judicial rant regarding this publication's coverage of the Loyd prosecution (see below left video of March 19, 2018 hearing).

Judge Lemonidis' self recusal came about two (2) years too late. In the summer of 2016, Loyd's attorney filed a Motion for Judicial Recusal after Lemonidis had made some inappropriate remarks regarding both Loyd, and her attorney. Lemonidis denied the motion.

NORTH CAROLINA ABUSE INVESTIGATION

During Loyd's March 2017 trial, Lemonidis continued with her inappropriate remarks, causing Loyd's attorney to request a mis-trial - stating that the jury had been biased by Lemonidis' statements. Lemonidis denied the defense's Motion for Mis-trial.

Click Here to read pages 843-849 of trial transcripts


Lemonidis' inappropriate comments in front of the jury, was just one boulder, within the avalanche of evidence, supporting that Loyd's trial was nothing more than a sham trial. We encourage our readers to review our May 26, 2018 article. Within this article, our publication presents the Loyd trial transcript, whereas it appears, that Judge Lemonidis entered into an unethical agreement with one of Loyd's attorneys, to assist the attorney in "ward(ing) off" any ineffective counsel claims, that Loyd may use in an appeal of her then pending conviction.

Lemonidis' recusal ONLY transpired AFTER Loyd's trial and sentencing - and three (3) days after the publication of our May 26, 2018 article, questioning whether Judge Lemonidis had colluded with Loyd's defense team in denying her due process, and a fair trial.

During the before mentioned March 2018 hearing, in which Loyd was charged with an alleged probation violation, Lemonidis again went completely off the judicial rails by attacking a representative of this publication (See video - right of page). Lemonidis banned our camera from her courtroom, which led to a circuitwide ban of our camera. Shortly thereafter, Lemonidis self recused herself, and the case was reassigned to Judge Morgan Reinman.

Click Here - In October 2018, the Circuit lifted it's camera ban against this publication.

Judicial Tag Teaming


As was reported in our January 18, 2019 article, this publication is of the OPINION that Judge Robin Lemonidis AND Judge Morgan Reinman are "tag teaming" Loyd, with the goal of insuring that she is denied fair access to the Court. The rationale in denying Loyd fair access to the Court, is to silence her, so that the public does not become aware of how local police and court officials failed to properly investigate the allegations against the subject father.

The Court has similarly "silenced" the subject mother in this child welfare case (see January 8, 2016 Court Order - just one of several examples), by effectively denying her visitation rights to her daughter until she recants her concerns regarding the subject father.

The above referenced Court Order was signed by Judge Morgan Reinman, Loyd's currently assigned judge. Within this particular Court Order, Judge Reinman made pre-conviction statements in support of Loyd's guilt.

We highly encourage you to read the January 8, 2016 Court Order, it's a short read, but it is clear that Judge Reinman has concluded that the subject father had not sexually abused his daughter, and that Reinman clearly desired, that both the subject mother and Loyd would cease saying differently.

Therefore, Judge Reinman, in our OPINION, has a conflict of interest attached to the Loyd case, due to her past connection with the subject father's child welfare case (as stated within our May 5, 2018 article), which includes her (Reinman) prejudicial statements regarding Loyd, made prior to Loyd's March 2017 sham trial and conviction.

Judicial Manipulation Of The Court Docket


As covered within our January 18, 2019 article, Judge Reinman's "back door" manipulation of the Court docket, in order to insure that Loyd's case remained assigned to her, is just the latest piece of evidence supporting the judicial tag teaming of Loyd.

Actually, this publication is very comfortable stating it's OPINION, that it is probable, that the entire 18th Judicial Circuit has an on-going conflict of interest in the Loyd case. However, most definitely, a conflict of interest attaches to any judge that has been involved in the subject child welfare case.

Judge Lisa Davidson was never assigned to the child welfare case, and Judge Reinman's "back door" manipulation of the Court docket assured that Loyd's case would never be heard in Judge Davidson's courtroom
Read January 18, 2019 article for additional details.

Loyd, through her violation of probation attorney, and as a pro se appellant litigant, has filed several court motions requesting that Judge Reinman recuse herself.

Judge Reinman has denied all of the recusal motions.

The Catherine Brown Case
More Evidence To Support That Judge Robin Lemonidis
Has Gone Completely Bench Bonkers

Lemonidis' History Of Going Off The Judicial Rails



Judge Robin Lemonidis
Judge Lemonidis, who was initially assigned to the Loyd prosecution, is a rare find (MUCH sarcasm attached). She is an apparent expert in almost anything (once again - sarcasm attached)... medical science, Internet technology, journalism, etc.. But clearly, she is lacking in one area that is of importance to all judges - she is unable, in OUR OPINION, to maintain judicial impartiality.

In our OPINION, and as supported by our observations, the Court videos and documents, Lemonidis openly practices being the judge, the jury, the prosecutor, and sometimes an expert witness, within the cases that come before her bench.

Judge Lemonidis has a history of going "bench bonkers" - and has done so, at least twice, in the presence of, and directed towards, this publication.

As is available within two videos attached within this article (see upper right of article), in March 2017, during the Loyd trial, Judge Lemonidis illegally seized this publication's press notes.

Then, in March 2018, during a Loyd violation of probation hearing, Judge Lemonidis again went "Bench Bonkers" regarding her questioning of our media representative, and her banning of our camera from her courtroom.

Recently, this publication (VolusiaExposed.Com) came across additional posted videos from a June 15, 2018 hearing, which only further support that Lemonidis has gone completely "Bench Bonkers". --->


Judge Robin Lemonidis Going Bonkers?
June 15, 2018
Titusville, Florida
State v. Catherine Brown
05-2017-CF-033105-AXXX-XX




Pay Particular Attention To Minutes 2:25 to End

A representative of this publication, paid court authorities the appropriate cost of copying, and if appropriate and necessary, the redacting of these videos. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) present them for your review, with no additional redactions on our part.
The June 15, 2018 hearing was attached to the criminal prosecution of Catherine Brown, Case No.: 05-2017-CF-033105-AXXX-XX.

Ms. Brown was unable to attend an earlier court hearing due to circumstances that included a hospitalization. Due to Brown's failure to attend the earlier hearing, Judge Lemonidis had issued a bench warrant for her arrest.

During the June 15, 2018 hearing, Brown's attorney, Michael Cook was attempting to advise Judge Lemonidis why his client was unable to attend the previous court date, so that she (Lemonidis) would consider lifting the bench warrant.

But "Looney" Lemonidis would hear nothing of it. Rather than listening, Lemonidis opted to mischaracterize a witness' testimony, provide her very OWN self testimony, regarding the efficacy, and the pharmacology of certain prescription medications.

The above is not only our OPINION - but the apparent and documented OPINION of Ms. Brown's attorney - as incorporated within his Motion for Judicial Recusal. (see below / right - attached judicial recusal motion).

This publication is of the OPINION that several of the allegations memorialized within this particular Motion for Judicial Recusal, are in fact, allegations of judicial misconduct, as outlined in Florida's Judicial Canons such as:

1. Mischaracterizing The Testimony Of A Witness

2. Providing Testimony Within Her Own Courtroom

3. Self Investigating, ie., "Googling" The Efficacy & Pharmacology Of Prescription Medications

4. Judicial Bias - Taking On The Role Of Litigant Against The Criminal Defendant




Thankfully, Judge Lemonidis was able to locate two brain cells, which assisted her in reaching the conclusion, that she had to recuse herself in the Brown case.

Our Final Thoughts


In our OPINION, the River of Corruption that runs through the 18th Judicial Circuit is of such a depth and width, that the system itself is beyond any hope of self correction. Is it time to dial 1-800-FBI? You decide ...

And there you have it, a snapshot Of Southern Justice - Brevard County Style. Stand by to stand by - there is surely more to come out of this three ring circus (circuit) ....


We look forward to your comments.
