Did the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Really Conduct An Independent Investigation Into The Death Of Marlon Brown? OR Is This Yet Another Example Of One Of Those Infamous FDLE Shuck And Jive "Investigations"? |
January 31, 2014 |
"Police throughout the United States have been caught fabricating, planting, and manipulating evidence to obtain convictions where cases would otherwise be very weak. Some authorities regard police perjury as so rampant that it can be considered a "subcultural norm rather than an individual aberration" of police officers."

yet another FDLE shuck and jive?
According to an October 2013 Daytona Beach News-Journal article, FDLE Public Information Officer, Samantha Andrews "shied away" from calling their investigation of the events surrounding Marlon Brown's death a "full-on investigation".
Mr. Brown was killed in May 2013, when he was struck (or if you believe the Volusia County ME's report - NOT struck) by a DeLand PD patrol car, as he was attempting to evade the police. To Review An Earlier VX Article  |

According to two FDLE letters, FDLE intended to "investigate" some concerns of the Brown family. These letters give the impression that FDLE intended to fully investigate the family's concerns. One obvious concern of the family, as detailed in the attached media articles, was whether the DeLand patrol car actually struck or ran over Mr. Brown. The medical examiner's report (see page six) found no evidence that Mr. Brown was struck by the patrol car. Regarding whether Mr. Brown was actually struck by the patrol car, VolusiaExposed.Com invites our readers to watch the dash cam video of the patrol car to determine for yourself - who do YOU believe - the Volusia County Medical Examiner's report or your lying eyes? |

State Attorney Files No Criminal Charges Against Officer FDLE Clears Medical Examiner's Office
The DeLand PD eventually terminated the officer that was driving the patrol car - however, the State Attorney's office opted NOT to file criminal charges against the officer.
According to a January 28, 2014 Daytona Beach News-Journal article, FDLE has issued their January 16, 2014 investigative report Within this report, FDLE qualifies the medical examiner's determinations to be "reasonable", that no evidence existed that Mr. Brown was struck by the patrol car. Credibility Problem Within one of the attached Daytona Beach News Journal articles, Volusia County Spokesman, Dave Byron indicates that the FDLE investigative findings vindicates the county's medical examiner's office. Mr. Bryon also stated that the county was not surprised by FDLE's findings - in this we are in agreement with Mr. Byron, but for different reasons. |
Frankly, we here at VolusiaExposed.Com believe that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is suffering from serious credibility issues, that transcends the Marlon Brown death investigation.
It has been only a few years since FDLE found no criminal predicate in their initial investigation into allegations of underage sexual relationships involving law enforcement officers within the Volusia County Beach Patrol. Only after the governor's office was petitioned, did the re-examination of the allegations by FDLE result in criminal charges and convictions against members of the Volusia County Beach Patrol.
And then there was the 2006 juvenile boot camp death of Martin Lee Anderson. FDLE handled that death investigation so poorly, that not only did FDLE have to be removed from the investigative process, the ensuing scandal led to the resignation of FDLE Commissioner, Guy Tunnell.
Let's not forget the Laura Barfield scandal that came out of FDLE. Laura Barfield was a senior FDLE DUI expert that had used her state government issued credit card to purchase personal items, to include Caribbean cruises. Similar to their recent investigative finding in the Marlon Brown matter, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also could not find any criminal predicate attached to Barfield's actions. We're sure that there are people serving prison sentences for less than what she did.
Finally there is the 2012 FDLE investigation into the alleged murders within the Florida Dozier School For Boys. Recent media accounts now suggest that the 2012 FDLE investigation may not have even scratched the surface of the horrors that transpired behind the closed doors of the Dozier School For Boys.
So, given FDLE's past history of scandals, and their poor performance record, we find ourselves in agreement with Volusia County Spokesman, Dave Byron - we too were not surprised with the FDLE finding - but then again we here at VolusiaExposed are well aware that the "Shuck and Jive" is still alive and well within the FDLE.
