Judicial Candidate Larry Avallone Ethically Unqualified To Be A Circuit Court Judge Assisted In The Railroading Of A Child Into A 20 Year Prison Sentence |
|
AS A JOURNALISTIC OPINIONATED EDITORIAL,
NO LEGAL OPINION, OR AUTHORITY, SHOULD BE INFERRED
|
Recently, Assistant Public Defender Lawrence "Larry" Avallone announced that he will be seeking to secure by election, an upcoming judicial opening within Florida's Seventh Judicial Circuit (Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns & Putnam counties). The judicial opening is due to DeLand's Circuit Judge Randell Rowe's pending retirement early next year (click here to read retirement announcement). WNDB _Daytona Beach Deland Judge Randell Rowe Retiring Next Year It is the hard OPINION of this publication, that Larry Avallone does not possess the ethical demeanor to serve as a circuit court judge. In support of the above statement - we believe it is necessary to mention some of the unsavory things that have transpired OR - are on-going within Florida's Seventh Judicial Circuit - some having Avallone's direct involvement. Within the Seventh Judicial Circuit - there exist a cabal of justice practitioners (including law enforcement officers, judges, public defenders, and state attorneys) that are actively perverting our justice system. With zero doubt - Mr. Avallone is a ranking member of this cabal (more on this as this article moves forward). Avallone's purposeful failures within his official duties as an assistant public defender - to honestly defend a middle school girl (Ms. Nicole Jackson) against the false allegations of Volusia County Sheriff Michael Chitwood - provides us pause, that he will also fail in honoring his judicial responsibilities should he be elected. (obviously - there is more to unpack on this - as we move forward). Avallone Was A Volusia Sheriff Deputy - Prior To Becoming A Public Defender Assistant Public Defender (APD) Larry Avallone should have NEVER been assigned to be the defense counsel for ANY criminal defendant charged with the alleged attempted murder of several Volusia sheriff deputies. |
|
Avallone had a direct professional conflict of interest - associated with his representation of fourteen (14) year-old Ms. Nicole Jackson - a conflict which he and his boss, elected Public Defender Matthew Metz were fully aware of.
Prior to becoming an attorney - Avallone spent a decade wearing a Volusia County deputy sheriff's badge. Regardless, in June 2021 - newly elected Public Defender Matthew Metz assigned Avallone as lead counsel in the criminal representation of the fourteen year-old girl (Ms. Nicole Jackson) charged with the alleged attempted murder of several Volusia sheriff deputies. In fairness to Mr. Metz - within page 15 of the below linked court transcript (also see the right of this page ==>>) - Circuit Court Judge Elizabeth Blackburn - also identified as a member of the cabal - articulated her responsibilities regarding Mr. Avallone's assignment as Jackson's defense counsel. |
|
We (VolusiaExposed.Com) argue the position that Ms. Jackson, and her then twelve (12) year-old co-defendant are factually innocent of the charge of attempted murder. They are however, both factually guilty of breaking into an unoccupied house - and causing major damage to the interior of said home.
We forward the OPINION that Ms. Jackson, like her twelve year-old co-defendant - should have been prosecuted as a juvenile - instead of as an adult. During several court hearings - Ms. Jackson expressed her desire to take her case to trial. The cabal (Sheriff Chitwood, Judges Blackburn & Zambrano, the entire defense team, and the prosecutors) all wanted, actually needed - this prosecution to end in a plea bargain. This publication has published several articles (see some below linked examples) in which we allege - through evidence - that Volusia Sheriff Michael Chitwood pushed a false narrative against Ms. Jackson and her twelve year-old co-defendant regarding the events that led up to their arrests. (more on this shortly) |
|
We further allege that Mr. Avallone, along with several other justice practitioners coerced Ms. Jackson into accepting a plea agreement - involving a twenty year prison sentence - so that Chitwood's false narrative against these children would not be publicly exposed during a trial.
Given Judge Blackburn's direct involvement in the assigning of Mr. Avallone - Ms. Allison Hughes - Ms. Jessica L. Roberts as Ms. Jackson's defense team - as well as her participation in "the cabal" - it is little wonder why Judge Blackburn refused during the January 27, 2023 hearing to honor Ms. Jackson's request for new defense counsel. Public Defender Avallone was doing exactly what the cabal (including Blackburn) expected him to do - provide Ms. Jackson with purposeful ineffective counsel - so that she could be forced - via some judicial coercion - into taking the plea deal - thereby providing the sheriff with the political coverage he needed. (more evidence and unpacking of this shortly) During a January 27, 2023 hearing (the hearing attached to the available transcript) Judge Blackburn successfully intimidated and coerced Ms. Jackson into accepting the State's plea deal - thereby waiving her right to a trial - a trial that would have brought certain embarrassment to the sheriff and others. The cabal's desire to deny justice to Ms. Jackson is also the reason why - after sixteen months - Ms. Jackson's ineffective counsel motion (commonly referred to as a 3.850 POST CONVICTION motion - click here to review motion - yet another sealed record) filed by a Tampa based private attorney still remains unaddressed by Judge Blackburn (click here to read the filed Notice Of Inquiry). On January 27, 2023 - Judge Blackburn presided over a hearing regarding Ms. Jackson's prosecution. The hearing was suppose to be a simple "Nelson Hearing" - to determine whether there were any credible concerns to Ms. Jackson's desire to have new counsel assigned to her. By the end of this hearing the following would occur: 1. Judge Blackburn would close the hearing from any attendance by the general public or the media. 2. Judge Blackburn would seal the transcript of the hearing from public record inspection. Judge Blackburn's alleged logic for closing the hearing, and sealing the transcript - was to protect Ms. Jackson's right to a fair trial - ironically, a trial that the cabal never wanted to occur. Unfortunately for the cabal - BUT fortunate for truth and for Ms. Jackson - the transcript from this hearing leaked out via an accidental release by the Clerk of the Court's office - when in February 2025 - a private attorney, funded by one of Nicole's supporters filed a post conviction motion with the Court. This post conviction motion (click here to read motion) argued that Mr. Avallone and his defense team failed to provide Ms. Jackson with an effective defense. This publication was able to secure these sealed documents - prior to the Clerk's office re-sealing them from public inspection. These records (court transcript & post conviction / ineffective counsel motion) are available within this article - for our readers' review. 3. In our OPINION - Judge Blackburn engaged in several judicial acts of misconduct (coercion, sentencing intimidation, providing legal advice, etc) in securing Ms. Jackson's capitulation regarding her desires for new attorneys, and taking her case to trial. 4. The probability exist - via the transcript's text - that Judge Blackburn accepted a guilty plea from a minor child while the child was suffering a mental health crisis (Jackson was on a jail suicide watch during the January 27, 2023 hearing?) 5. Upon the acceptance of the child's judicially coerced plea - Judge Blackburn immediately sentenced the child to twenty years in prison - followed by nearly fifty years of probation. |
|
Also - unknown to many at the time of the January 27, 2023 hearing - the cabal was operating under another rationale, in their quest to quickly bring this prosecution to closure. The cabal knew that Ms. Jackson's supporters were actively looking for a private defense attorney to take over Ms. Jackson's trial representation.
How did the cabal know this? Well, as Mr. Avallone stated on page 45 of the January 27, 2023 transcript (see right of page ===>>) - they were "monitoring" (listening in on) Ms. Jackson's jail house phone calls. Mr. Avallone also stated - "so we are aware of conversations that are happening where our legal advice is being undermined actively". While there probably wasn't anything illegal with Mr. Avallone listening into his own client's jailhouse calls. We have received some additional information and evidence that suggests that this practice of listening into inmates' phone conversations far exceeded Ms. Jackson's prosecution. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) have received information that alleges that jail personnel, and members of the State Attorney's Office were (are?) routinely listening into jail house phone calls between inmates and their attorneys. If true this practice would violate the attorney - client privilege - and would invite serious legal ramifications. We are currently still vetting out this information - and will let you know what we determine - by providing you with the facts, and the evidence, in support of our conclusions. |
|
So - jumping back to the Jackson matter - the cabal knew that they could soon be losing Mr. Avallone - Jackson's most purposeful "ineffective counsel" - to a private attorney, that would be willing to represent Ms. Jackson's interests (effective representation - fair trial) - over the cabal's or Sheriff Chitwood's interests (the railroading of Ms. Jackson).
We will provide additional evidence that Mr. Avallone was in fact - being purposefully ineffective in his defense of Ms. Jackson - in the particular - Avallone's refusal to address Sheriff Chitwood's false narrative against his client - that had flooded AND biased the reporting of the legacy media - as well as many social media applications. But, first let's explore the particulars found within Sheriff Chitwood's false narrative. Similar to the commentary within the 1988 Hollywood movie "Mississippi Burning"* (see below video clip) - our local cabal of justice practitioners were more than willing to accept everything Sheriff Chitwood had to say - as "the spoken truth" - regardless, if the facts, and the evidence contradicted the sheriff's narrative. |
|
During the January 27, 2023 hearing - Volusia Judge Elizabeth Blackburn would also pierce the boundary of judicial ethics several times over - all while hiding (OR so she thought) her coercive and unethical behaviors targeted at Ms. Jackson - while behind locked courtroom doors AND a sealed court transcript. HOWEVER - with sixty plus years since the events of 1964 (Mississippi Burning) - the U.S. public's perception has somewhat "awoken" to the fact - that police officers, including sheriffs - will still openly lie, in their attempts to pervert justice. ADDITIONALLY - the recent alleged shenanigans of Texas Judges Robert Franklin and Linda Wallace provide us examples that judges are not immune from suspicions of crossing ethical / criminal boundaries. (see video - right of page) With little doubt - Sheriff Chitwood prefers that "Special Brand of Justice" that only his cabal of unethical judges, prosecutors, and public defenders can deliver. Justice that has already been predetermined by him, pumped through his social media accounts, and hand fed to the legacy media - rather than justice decided by facts and evidence - that has been presented to a jury of the defendant's peers - sometimes referred to as U.S. Constitutional justice. Sheriff Chitwood has in the past publicly expressed his disdain for the American jury system. (see below linked example / related article). |

|
Daytona Beach News-Journal September 21, 2023 Defense attorney calls Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood's comment about jury 'un-American'. In short - Sheriff Chitwood's false narrative included the following four main topics: 1. Evidence (video and physical) supports that the children only fired a total of six (6) gunshots - four (4) small caliber handgun rounds & two (2) shotgun rounds. Evidence further supports - that these six (6) rounds were fired into items within the house (light fixtures, etc) - to cause property damage - and NOT at responding deputies - in an attempt to kill them (as alleged by Chitwood). |
|
2. Sheriff Chitwood alleges (see below linked media clip) that the children fired two clips (60 rounds) of AK-47 military rifle gun fire at his deputies.
Later, the sheriff's own investigator would conclude that the AK-47 was never fired (more on this shortly). Sheriff Chitwood has never recanted this AK-47 gunfire allegation - because, absent that particular weapon's gunfire - there is no support for his viral media rant that the children were the new "Bonnie and Clyde". (see the below linked related articles) That lie had to stand - and the cabal (including Avallone) was going to make sure it was never challenged in court (purposeful ineffective counsel). |
 Bonnie & Clyde 1932-1933 |
|
OXYGEN.COM JUNE 2, 2021 'This Is Like Bonnie And Clyde': 14-Year-Old Girl Wounded After Exchanging Fire With Florida Deputies Below, we have linked the entire sealed transcript from the January 27, 2023 court hearing (this transcript is a MUST read - in order to fully appreciate the extent of the judicial misconduct). Again, this publication obtained a copy of this sealed transcript when the Clerk of the Court inadvertently posted it on their on-line court docket for a few days. The transcript has since been removed from the Clerk's docket - as ordered by Judge Elizabeth Blackburn. Within this transcript - Judge Blackburn advises Ms. Jackson that due to her "supporters" actions - her prosecution had become a high profile media event - which will now make it difficult for her to secure an unbiased jury, and a fair trial. (see transcript pages 33 & 40 ====>>) Actually - Ms. Jackson obtained her "supporters" AFTER her arrest, and AFTER her prosecution became a viral media event - DUE TO Sheriff Chitwood's false narrative as given to the media - AND as published on the sheriff's own social media accounts. |
|
Clearly, if there is any blame to be assigned for the high media attention attached to Jackson's prosecution - that blame would rest firmly on Sheriff Chitwood's shoulders. (see below video - Sheriff Chitwood's media statement - given shortly after the event)
Judge Blackburn's attempt to "blame shift" the high media attention from the sheriff to Ms. Jackson's supporters - was in our OPINION - Blackburn's attempt to drive a wedge between Ms. Jackson and her supporters - AND to insulate the sheriff from any accusations, or legal arguments, that his actions had factually endangered Ms. Jackson's constitutional right to fair due process of law. Please take the time to read the entire transcript - it will become obvious, that Blackburn wanted a commitment from Jackson that she would stop trusting her supporters - and start trusting the cabal.

Evidence DOES suggests that deputies were receiving high velocity gunfire. However, this gunfire was coming from other on scene deputies - a.k.a - friendly fire - AND NOT from the children (evidenced by provided videos - AND via deputies' depositions - will cover these depositions within another future article). 4. Sheriff Chitwood states that his deputies did not open fire on the children until after Ms. Jackson exited the garage holding a shotgun (after sunset). Video and audio evidence clearly supports that the deputies were firing at the children, and at each other (friendly fire) long before nightfall. (see below videos) Sets The Stage For A False Police Narrative |
|
Immediately after the June 1, 2021 "shooting incident" - and instead of waiting for the conclusions of his investigating deputy - Sheriff Chitwood had the twelve year-old co-defendant - Travis O'Brien immediately interviewed - all while O'Brien was still suffering from his hyperglycemic episode - an emergency medical condition.
Apparently, Sheriff Chitwood's need for social media "click bait" - was far more important than O'Brien receiving his emergency medical treatment. An FDLE report documents that Travis O'Brien's blood sugar level was 443. Hyperglycemia (High Blood Sugar) |
 One Of Ms Jackson's Gunshot Wounds Looking At Her Back |
|
Ms. Jackson could not be immediately interviewed by the police - she was in an ambulance on Interstate 4 - heading for a trauma hospital to be treated for her life threatening gunshot wounds. (see above photo)
During this interview - O'Brien falsely confessed to firing two clips from the AK-47 rifle (approximately sixty rounds). Given his extremely high blood sugar level - anything O'Brien said - should have not been trusted to be accurate. We suspect that O'Brien - the self-confessed shooter of the alleged AK-47 gun fire - was ONLY prosecuted as a juvenile - because his "confession" was obtained while he was suffering from a hyperglycemic episode. Additionally, state prosecutors became keenly aware that the AK-47 rifle was never fired during the incident. Further we suspect - that the state prosecutors eventually came to appreciate - that any in-coming high velocity rounds directed at the deputies - were in fact, the direct result of "friendly fire". We highly suspect that during any trial - O'Brien's false hyperglycemic driven "confession" would have been declared unreliable evidence - especially given Volusia Sheriff Detective Cordell Lemay's additional investigative conclusions (keep reading - Lemay's report is right around the corner). While O'Brien's "confession" would NOT meet "courtroom - due process" standards - Sheriff Chitwood was convinced that he could use this "false" confession to get both children "convicted" within both the legacy media AND his social media accounts. Thereby, poisoning any potential jurors against the children. Daytona Beach News-Journal Reporter - Frank Fernandez Daytona Beach News-Journal reporter Frank Fernandez covered the Ms. Jackson's prosecution from the beginning - her June 1, 2021 arrest - to her January 27, 2023 sentencing. Interacting with Mr. Fernandez is akin to meeting award winning reporter Bob Woodward, and fictional television LAPD police Lieutenant Frank Columbo, all in one person. Mr. Fernandez is a true investigative reporter. He does NOT allow government or police officials to hand feed him their accounts of what occurred - he seeks out the facts for himself. Sheriff Chitwood prefers very subservient reporters - ones that are willingly to accept, without question, his statements - as the honest truth. Should you fail to "bend the knee" - "King" Chitwood will opt not to invite you - AND your entire media organization to his press briefings. |
|
As highlighted within a March 5, 2024 Daytona Beach News-Journal (DBNJ) article (click here to read) the DBNJ found themselves in that particular predicament with Sheriff Chitwood.
According to the article - the DBNJ would no longer be "invited" to attend any future Volusia sheriff department media briefings - and the apparent catalyst for the "dis-invite" was reporter Fernandez's coverage of the Nicole Jackson shooting incident. Sir, I Hate To Bother You, But One Last Question During a press briefing held outside the courthouse - held immediately after Ms. Jackson's sentencing (see video to the right of page ==>>) - Frank Fernandez - as he stood outside of the video frame - can be heard asking that one last Columbo question - "Did the boy (O'Brien) fire at your deputies as well?" (minute 1:20 of video) Watch as Sheriff Chitwood ignores Fernandez's question - as he invites Clara Metz, the mother of elected Public Defender Matthew Metz (a member of the cabal) to continue with her questioning. |
March 5, 2024 
January 27, 2023 Sheriff Chitwood provides a media interview immediately after Ms. Jackson's sentencing |
|
Sheriff Chitwood did not answer Mr. Fernandez's question - because he knows that O'Brien (the 12 year-old boy) along with Ms. Jackson NEVER fired the AK-47 rifle. The truth regarding the non-existent AK-47 gunfire - blows up and exposes Sheriff Chitwood's long standing false narrative regarding these two middle school children (Jackson & O'Brien).
Within Sheriff Chitwood's video recorded statement to WESH-TV reporter Clara Metz - he invited her to watch the shooting video - and see his sergeant pinned down by the children's alleged gunfire. We too - invite our readers to watch AND listen to VSO Sergeant Donnie Maxwell's body camera video. We have provided the video within this article (see below). Notice that within this video - the sun is still up - then listen and count the gunfire that you hear - it will be over thirty (30) shots. Then read VSO Detective Cordell Lemay's investigative report - you will discover that the children fired no more than six (6) gunshot - NONE coming from the AK-47 rifle. Then watch the video of the press briefing that Sheriff Chitwood gave the day of the incident - he alleges that his deputies did NOT fire on the children - UNTIL AFTER Ms. Jackson exited the garage. Well watch that video too (see below) - of Ms. Jackson exiting the garage and being gun down by the deputies - notice that the sun had already set. So, if the deputies only fired after sunset (per Sheriff Chitwood) - and the children only fired a total of six (6) gun shots (per VSO Detective Lemay) - who was firing the over thirty rounds in daylight (per Maxwell's body cam video)? Yes, we shall shortly repeat much of the information contained with the last six paragraphs - because of it's importance to the children's innocence (attempted murder of several deputies) - AND to Sheriff Chitwood's apparent nature of being a pathological liar. More Interested In "Click Bait" - Than Hard Facts & Evidence Immediately after the June 1, 2021 event - Sheriff Chitwood ran to the first open media microphone he could find - and incorrectly alleged that the children had attempted to murder several of his deputies with the AK-47 gun fire - AND further, incorrectly stated that his deputies did not fire at the children until Ms. Jackson came out of the garage with the shot gun. (see below video - Sheriff Chitwood briefs media) |
|
Sheriff Chitwood had one major problem - as he stood in front of that media microphone - he did not have the facts, in the particular, his own deputies' body camera videos fail to support his narrative - and shortly, thereafter his own criminal investigator would determine that the children only fired six (6) shots - and none of them were from the AK-47 rifle. Chitwood's allegation that his deputies did not immediately fire upon the children also was NOT supported by the video / audio evidence. Chitwood's statement that his deputies only fired when Ms. Jackson exited the garage holding a shotgun - has a major logic hole. Problem is - when Ms. Jackson exited the garage - the sun had already set - it was nightfall. |
|
|
In the below video (right of page) from VSO Sgt. Donnie Maxwell's body camera - one can clearly see that the sun has not yet set - AND over thirty gun shots can be heard (Remember VSO Detective Lemay concluded that the children only fired six (6) shots).
|
|
Sheriff Chitwood stating that the children fired AK-47 gun fire at his deputies. Further that his deputies did not immediately fire upon the children. VSO Detective Cordell Lemay's investigative report (click here to read) documents within lines 79-80 of the report - that the evidence concluded that the children had fired only six shots - and none of those shots came from the AK-47 rifle. So - long before the deputies fired upon Ms. Jackson, as she was exiting the garage (after night fall) - who was firing those additional gun shots, as audio captured on Sgt. Maxwell's body cam (prior to night fall)? The answer is obviously - Sheriff Chitwood is lying - his deputies were firing on these children LONG before Ms. Jackson exited the garage. Because of Sheriff Chitwood's false media statements (alleged AK-47 gun fire) - this "shooting incident" took on a worldwide viral vibe. Worldwide media outlets picked up and published Chitwood's statement that these two children were the new "Bonnie & Clyde". |
SGT. DONNIE MAXWELL'S BODY CAM VIDEO Ms. Jackson did not exit the garage with the shotgun until AFTER dark (see BELOW video). Watch and listen to this ABOVE video taken from a Sgt. Maxwell's body cam - notice it's still daylight - listen to the number of gun shots (over thirty) - the investigation would conclude that the children only fired six shots in their attempt to trash the house - so whom do you imagine were firing the other twenty plus shots? Sheriff Chitwood alleges (SEE VIDEO TO LEFT OF PAGE) that his deputies did not fire until Ms. Jackson exited the garage (see BELOW video). MS. JACKSON EXITS THE GARAGE JACKSON IS PROMPTLY SHOT BY NUMEROUS SHERIFF DEPUTIES. (THE SUN HAS SET) |
|
Again - these two children became nothing more than "click bait" - in support of Sheriff Chitwood's social media accounts. In a sick way - Sheriff Chitwood "trafficked" these kids - solely to increase his social media traffic, and to further his authoritarian stance on juvenile crime - as noted by his "perp-walks" of children as young as eight (8) and eleven (11) years old. .
News.Com.Au June 4, 2021 Horrific video shows children who opening fire on US police Jeffrey Epstein sexually trafficked kids to get his "rocks off" - Sheriff Chitwood - with the assistance of the cabal - politically trafficked kids to "rock" his social media traffic. |
|
As published within Mr. Avallone's campaign website - he states - "I believe that a judge must apply the law fairly and impartially, treat every individual with dignity, and ensure that every case is decided based on the facts and the law—nothing more, nothing less."
Based on him ignoring the facts within Ms. Jackson's prosecution - it is our OPINION - Mr. Avallone does NOT desire that the law be fairly and impartially applied - nor does he believe that every case must be decided on the facts. When Avallone signed on as Ms. Jackson's attorney - we opine, at that instant he became a member of the cabal (himself, the sheriff, the judge, and the state attorney) that was cobbled together to insure that Ms. Jackson was coerced into not taking this case to trial - so that Sheriff Chitwood's lies would not be publicly exposed during a trial. |
|
|
Mr. Avallone - along with his sidekick - APD Allison Hughes - both members of the cabal - had spent the better part of two years grooming Ms. Jackson into the belief that it was in her best interest to accept the State's plea deal - which included a twenty year prison sentence - followed by nearly fifty years of probation. Avallone and Hughes were not being successful in convincing Ms. Jackson to take the State's plea bargain - Jackson wanted to go to trial. Both Avallone and Hughes had aspirations of becoming judges - by getting Jackson to waive her right to trial by accepting the plea deal - thereby insulating Sheriff Chitwood from the political ramifications of his lies against Ms. Jackson. In a "Pay to Play" judicial circuit - the payment sometimes is paid by doing a political favor. Even Judge Raul Zambrano's coercive speech to Ms. Jackson during the September 15, 2022 hearing (see video - top of article) could not convince Jackson to waive her right to a trial - by taking the State's plea deal. On January 27, 2023 Judge Elizabeth Blackburn would attempt one last time to coerce and intimidate Jackson into accepting the plea deal. However, Blackburn knew she had to get tougher, because here shortly - Jackson may have a private attorney - that would be willing to take her case to trial. We imagine (opine) that Judge Blackburn realized that "getting tough" - meant having to "step-over" some ethical boundaries. To be able to "get tough" with this teenager - who was refusing to waive her constitutional right to a public trial - she would need to clear out as many people (witnesses) from the courtroom as she could. Finally, Blackburn would need to seal the court transcript from the prying eyes of Ms. Jackson's supporters - OR as Chitwood referred to them as - the "parasites" (watch above media interview video - taken after Jackson's sentencing). IMMEDIATELY upon calling the hearing into order - Judge Blackburn closed the hearing from the public - and later that same day, upon successfully coercing Ms. Jackson to accept the plea deal - Blackburn would seal the court transcript from public records (or so she thought). Against The Sheriff's False Narrative |
|
January 27, 2023 Mr. Avallone experienced yet another problem within his representation of Ms. Jackson. As Avallone stated - Ms. Jackson had "fans" (see page 49 - last paragraph of the linked court transcript) - and these "fans" were leading Jackson to believe, that Avallone should be defending her from Sheriff Chitwood's false narrative. Chitwood's lies were being accepted as the truth, as they traveled through the sheriff's own social media accounts, and then into the world-wide media's published articles. During the January 27, 2023 hearing, Ms. Jackson stated her concern to Judge Blackburn that Sheriff Chitwood had "slandered" her in the media - AND that her attorney (AVALLONE) was doing nothing to correct it. Within those same transcript pages (see right of this page ===>> - Mr. Avallone advised Judge Blackburn that his' and his staff's responsibilities did NOT include defending their client from the false narrative attacks of law enforcement, and the media. Obviously - if Mr. Avallone had a responsibility to defend Ms. Jackson from such attacks - AND he failed to do so - then Avallone would have been providing Ms. Jackson with ineffective counsel - AND Judge Blackburn should have granted Ms. Jackson's request for new defense counsel..... correct? With the assignment of new defense counsel - Ms. Jackson would have had the trial that she desired - AND Sheriff Chitwood's lies would have been exposed. As California attorney Johnny Cochran may have put it - "Given Sheriff Chitwood's lies - Jackson's criminal charges need to go bye-bye". In 2023, APD Avallone was assigned to represent Mr. Charles Ivy. According to arrest and media reports, Mr. Ivy was arrested for allegedly murdering a mother and her infant son.

Within days of his arrest, APD Avallone filed a "Motion To Prevent Further Prejudicial Publicity" (see right of page ==>>) in an attempt to have a judge order Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young from making any more "prejudicial statements" about his client to the media.
Chief Young had made statements calling the murders "horrific and horrendous" - adding "I have never witnessed anything this horrific in my entire career". From our read of Avallone's motion (see above right) - Avallone doesn't alleged false statements by Chief Young - just that Young's opinionated statements to the media may endanger his client's (Mr. Ivy) right to fair due process of law. We find it interesting - that Mr. Avallone felt it was his professional duty to try to stop opinionated prejudicial statements by Chief Young - BUT felt no similar obligation to cease Sheriff Chitwood's known false statements against Ms. Jackson. How do we know - that Mr. Avallone knew, that Chitwood's false statements against Ms. Jackson were being circulated within the media - well, because he stated so during the January 27, 2023 hearing (click here - read page 50 of the transcript) Further, it should be safe to CONCLUDE that Mr. Avallone had reviewed the "discovery documents" in Ms. Jackson's case - and knew that Deputy Lemay had determined that the AK-47 was never fired - and that the video / audio evidence supported that the deputies were firing on the children long before Ms. Jackson stepped out of the garage holding a shotgun. Like Judges Blackburn and Zambrano - Mr. Avallone found it easier to throw his fourteen (14) year-old client under the bus - than to face the political wrath of Sheriff Michael Chitwood.

Avallone, along with his cohorts Assistant State Attorney Sarah Thomas, and Assistant Public Defender Allison Hughes trafficked Ms. Jackson through our justice system, in the hope of securing their judicial robes (see right of page for additional information ==>>).
ASA Sarah Thomas wanted and secured a letter of recommendation from Sheriff Chitwood - for the governor's consideration in appointing her to the bench. (notice the mention of the Jackson case) ===>> APD Allison Hughes also wanted to secure a gubernatorial judicial appointment. On February 13, 2023 - fresh out of throwing Ms. Jackson under the bus - she interviewed in front of the local Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). The JNC questioned her - regarding her handling of the Jackson case. (conflict of interest - see right of page for additional information ==>>). Neither Thomas or Hughes secured a judicial appointment. Circuit Court Judge Elizabeth Blackburn - AND now retired Circuit Court Judge Raul Zambrano (see video - lower right of page) were both willing to coerce Ms. Jackson into accepting the state's plea bargain - because neither of them, regardless of the facts and evidence - wished to face the political wrath of Sheriff Michael Chitwood.

Allison Hughes' February 13, 2023 Interview With The Judicial Nominating Commission |
|
Running A Campaign, Over Seeking A Gubernatorial Appointment? Well, first of all - Judge Randall Rowe is not manipulating his retirement date. By completing his full term - Rowe has insured that his replacement will not be a gubernatorial appointment - rather, the voters will select his replacement (read more about manipulating judicial retirements within our LOOSE CHANGE section of this article - see below). To be clear - this publication suspects that Judge Rowe is insuring that an election will take place - as a political favor to Sheriff Chitwood. Judge Rowe and Sheriff Chitwood have had what we suspect to be a long and inappropriate "history" with each other - as highlighted within the below linked article. VolusiaExposed.Com December 22, 2023 When Innocence Pleas Covering For Police, Prosecutorial, & Judicial Misconduct We further suspect that Mr. Avallone is Sheriff Chitwood's preferred judicial candidate. Second - as strange as it may initially sound - Avallone probably would not survive a "vetting" from the Judicial Nominating Commission. And even if he did survive that JNC vetting process - and his name was one of those forwarded to the governor's office for appointment consideration - we suspect that the governor would not place his political capital in jeopardy - by appointing Avallone. Similar in nature as to why Thomas and Hughes were unsuccessful in securing their judicial appointments. Simply put - Mr. Avallone has a few skeletons in his professional closet - that can not be admitted to on any JNC application (read the below link article regarding judicial candidate Robin Hutcheson - what you think is your hidden past - can haunt you). VolusiaExposed.Com April 9, 2026 Four Judicial Nominees Forwarded To Governor Our Concerns With One Judicial Nominee, Yet Again Identified A young girl - now a young woman (Nicole Jackson (Maldonado)) has an active "ineffective counsel" motion / complaint (commonly referred to as a FRCP 3.850 motion) filed against Mr. Avallone that would have to be reported on any JNC application. We opine that Ms. Jackson is factually innocent of the "attempted murder" allegations. In as far as the other charges of breaking into a house - and destroying the interior - Jackson should have been prosecuted as a juvenile - same as was done with Master Travis O'Brien (twelve (12) year-old co-defendant). By attempting to secure his judicial robes via the election process - there is no legal requirement for Avallone to report this ineffective counsel complaint to the voters of the Seventh Judicial Circuit. Additionally, the other judicial candidates are restricted by judicial ethics from enlightening the public on this matter. VolusiaExposed.Com July 19, 2025 Florida's Injustice System The "Railroaded" Prosecution Of A Child NOW you - our readers - know why in our OPINION Mr. Avallone has not maintained the professional ethics necessary to preside as one of our Circuit Court judges.

In preparation for this article we sent Mr. Avallone a June 1, 2026 letter / email (see right of page ==>>) requesting that he offer us some clarifications regarding his representation of Ms. Jackson. As of the publication date of this article - we have not received an answer from Mr. Avallone. On June 15, 2026 - we sent a letter / email to the targeted principles (sheriff, judge, public defender's office, state attorney's office) of this pending article - providing to them an advanced copy of the article. We invited them to provide any commentary, criticisms, or corrections they wished to present prior to public publication of this article - none was received. We now close the main section of this article - and present for our readers a "LOOSE CHANGE" section - so that our readers will obtain a deeper appreciation of the corruption that is traveling through our courthouses. |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / CONCERNS REGARDING THE 7TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT |
 |
|
1. Seek A Governor's Appointment 2. Run A Political Campaign, And Win An Election In Florida, there are two ways for Florida attorneys to secure county and circuit court judicial seats. The most popular and cheapest way - is to be "connected" within the judicial circuit - and then apply to the local Judicial Nominating Commission for a recommended gubernatorial appointment to the bench. The second way is to run a political campaign, and secure your seat via an election. Securing a judicial post via an election is an expensive endeavor - and Mr. Avallone has already written a $8000 qualifying check to the State of Florida (click here) Now comes the cost of campaign rallies and materials - such as yard signs, bumper stickers, and the like. Many, if not most judicial candidates and retiring judges prefer gubernatorial appointments - rather than trusting the electorate to determine who will wear judicial robes. (more on this shortly). In Florida - all district courts of appeal judges, and State Supreme Court justices are initially gubernatorial appointments. The voters are then enfranchised by the State Constitution to "retention votes" on whether these appellate judges / justices will retain their seats. Rarely is an appellate judge / justices removed from the bench via a failed retention vote. Appointed county and circuit court judges must be prepared to run a campaign to maintain their judicial seats - should they pick up an election challenger(s) during any future election cycles. Rarely does a seated judge - including those that were appointed - pick up a challenger for their seat. Within the legal community - it is considered to be "disrespectful" to challenge a sitting judge. VolusiaExposed.Com June 3, 2016 Judge David Hood Files Lawsuit To Eliminate Opponent From Ballot HOWEVER - over the last decade - the Seventh Judicial Circuit has witnessed a handful of appointed judges shortly lose their seats to challengers. Judges Kathleen McNeilly - Joan Anthony - and Alicia Washington come to immediate mind of local judges that secured their seats by challenging the governor's appointments. The Seventh Judicial Circuit have been well served by these three particular judges. "Good judges" will properly understand and assume their role - in becoming the "check and the balance" between the law - and the actions of law enforcement and prosecutors. "Bad judges" - well they are usually easy to identify - they simply become the "rubber stamps" for tyrannical law enforcement administrators and prosecutors. |
|
On occasion - you will read about these "good judges" - usually when one of them have "ruffled the feathers" of some tyrannical police chief or sheriff - who professes the belief that the judge's role is to merely "rubber stamp" the desires of law enforcement.
VOLUSIAEXPOSED.COM NOVEMBER 21, 2025 In The Defense Of Circuit Judge A. Kathleen McNeilly Sheriff Mike Chitwood's Long History Of Judicial Intimidation Rarely is there anything written about "bad judges" - why - well, because they usually are illegally operating in concert with law enforcement and prosecutors. |
We prefer the "good judges" - the judges that will insure that Dorothy (DEFENDANT) is not cheated out of her "ruby slippers" (JUSTICE / DUE PROCESS) |

Recently - Texas judges Robert Franklin and Linda Wallace were apparently working outside the protections of law enforcement and prosecutors - when both joined forces to coerce a criminal defendant to accept a plea bargain. (see below right for video article)
Sadly, in Volusia County - we too have judges that are willing to work hand-in-hand with prosecutors and law enforcement to coerce criminal defendants into accepting plea bargains - even when the exculpatory evidence supports that the alleged crimes were never committed. Within the below linked articles - we opine how two Volusia circuit court judges (Judge Elizabeth Blackburn & Judge Raul Zambrano) tagged teamed AND coerced a fourteen year-old girl into accepting a twenty year adult prison sentence - merely to satisfy the perverted sense of justice of our local tyrannical sheriff. |

The "power brokers" within the community also prefer the governor's judicial appointment process - because it empowers them - by requiring the judicial candidates to come begging to them for an endorsement to the governor's office. While the election process is generally best for the over-all interests of the community - the gubernatorial process is best for the direct interests of the "power brokers". Below is just one of many examples of the power brokers' influence within judicial appointments. |
|
In 2010 - while current (2026) Circuit Court Judge Mary G. Jolley was a commissioner on the local Judicial Nominating Commission - she sent an email to the corporate office of power broker Mori Hosseini - requesting "a good word" to be put in for Jolley's friend Nancye Jones' judicial nomination to the governor's office.
This publication in 2010 - forwarded the belief that JNC Commissioner Jolley's email violated the ethical standards of the Judicial Nominating Commission. Our complaint was found to be "legally insufficient". Nancye Jones did not receive the judicial appointment. However, in December 2015 Governor Rick Scott did appoint "Unethical Mary" Jolley to the bench. |
|
Prior to her judicial appointment - Judge Jolley was an attorney for Volusia County government - and since her appointment - she has had little difficulties in assisting her past employer in covering up their government corruption.
Recently, Judge Mary Jolley's assignment to preside over Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood's civil suit against two promoters of "pop-up" beach events - came to the attention of this publication. 
Within our April 27, 2026 OPEN LETTER (Jolley was also sent a copy) - we questioned whether Judge Jolley's husband's employment history within the Volusia Sheriff's Office created a defacto "conflict of interest" attached to Jolley presiding over the litigation. Within two days of our OPEN LETTER - Judge Jolley self recused herself from the case - citing "judicial economy" - while NOT acknowledging any judicial conflict of interest (see our below linked related article - for particulars). VolusiaExposed.Com May 12, 2026 Local Judge Recuses Herself In Sheriff's Lawsuit Against Two Special Event Promoters While the "judicial economy" argument holds that similar cases - involving the same respondents - should be assigned to one judge - Judge Jolley, as of the preparation for this article - has not recused herself from the following cases: 2026 11661 CICI 2026 11665 CICI These above listed cases - involve the same respondents - and the civil complaints are almost word for word those of the civil complaint filed by (for) Sheriff Chitwood. Therefore ------- so much for Judge Jolley's "judicial economy" rationale. We here at VolusiaExposed.Com - have a clear understanding of WHY Judge Jolley was assigned to preside over Sheriff Chitwood's litigation - AND we are sure that our readers will also see through this thin veil of judicial deceit. In 2026 - Judge Jolley's judicial ethics are no stronger than were her 2010 Judicial Nominating Commission ethics. |

Though-out Florida - it has become a standard and "silence" practice for county and circuit court judges to announce their retirements in a fashion that circumvents the election cycle - thereby, requiring the governor to appoint judicial replacements. Proof of this purposeful judicial manipulation by judges to disenfranchise their electorate - can been seen within Circuit Court Judge Joseph Will's 2016 retirement letter. VolusiaExposed.Com April 22, 2016 JUDICIAL DIRTY DEEDS - Done Dirt Cheap ! THE DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF THE LOCAL ELECTORATE RELATED ARTICLE VolusiaExposed.Com May 8, 2016 Local Defense Attorney Sues Governor Scott Regarding Judge Joseph Will's Replacement Ironically - some of these very same judges that don't want the locate electorate (citizens) to selected their judiciary - will threaten that very same electorate with jail time - if they do not report for jury duty. |
