15 Years of Unresolved Grief
By Ray Tuenge, Jr.
Fran Futrill, mother of Mary Petersen, at the Victims’
Rights Week kick-off press conference.
Jacksonville Observes
National Victims’ Rights Week
By Ray Tuenge, Jr.
Every year in April, the nation honors the lives
lost to violent crime during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. The city of Jacksonville participates every year with a special line up of
remembrances and events to raise awareness and
recognize the rights of victims. This year’s theme
was Strength. Resilience. Justice.—which “reflects
a vision for the future in which all victims are
strengthened by the response they receive, organizations are resilient in response to challenges,
and communities are able to seek collective justice and healing.”
The week-long observance began with a press
conference at City Hall, where representatives
from the Mayor’s Office and State Attorney’s Office, law enforcement, and victims and their families were all in attendance. The press conference
served as an opportunity “to raise awareness
about services and programs that are in place to
not only protect victims, but to also help them
and those they leave behind.” JSO stated that
“this week is also a reminder that we must all
work together to support victims throughout
their interactions with the criminal justice system.”
Mayor Curry, who was traveling to Denver to
research new gun-tracking technology, signed a
proclamation to raise awareness of victims’ rights
and address unmet needs. The proclamation was
read by city community affairs director Charles
Moreland.
“The mayor, by virtue of the authority vested
in him as mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, do
hereby proclaim April 2 through the eighth 2017
as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week and joins

Nothing tests a mother’s faith
more than suffering through the
death of her only child. For Fran
Futrill, finding peace is nearly impossible as she approaches her fifteenth Mother’s Day knowing that
her daughter’s killer has been able to
walk free all these years since her
murder.
On a May morning in 2002,
young Donnie Petersen awoke to
light outside. On a normal morning,
his mother would have had him and
his younger sister already dressed
and ready for school by this time.
But this morning was different. Their
Fort Caroline home was oddly quiet.
Confused, the 8-year-old boy got up
and entered his mother’s room.
Mary Petersen was still in her
bed when her son came into her
room. He climbed into her bed, sat
beside her, and told her that he was
hungry. He sat with her for a moment, resting his head on her stomach. He soon realized that his
mother was not moving. She wasn’t
breathing.
Donnie knew something was
wrong. He dialed 911, but the phone
wouldn't ring. He tried again—same
Mary Petersen
result. He did not realize the phone
was unplugged. He left her room,
dressed himself and his sister
Rachel, and together they went next
door to tell a neighbor. When the police arrived shortly thereafter, 35year-old Mary Petersen was
pronounced dead. Strangulation
was listed on her death certificate as
the cause of death.
Mary’s case remains unsolved
and many questions surrounding
her death are still unanswered. How
was the killer able to enter her home
when the child proof locks were still
in place? Who took her car and
abandoned it a mile down the road?
What was the motive behind this
heinous crime? Investigators are still
searching for the answers that will
allow them to arrest the killer. They
think they have many, but not
enough yet to make a case for a solid
conviction.
After 15 years, the pain of losing
Mary hasn't gotten any easier for
Fran Futrill or her husband Bill.
Every day the agony of unresolved
grief takes its toll. "The pain never
goes away," she said. "You just become numb.” She describes the feeling as waking up into a nightmare.
“Every day when I wake up, it’s like
May 28, 2002 is the first thing on my
mind. You become instantly aware
when your eyes open that Mary is
not here. It’s like a replay over and
over again. That date is with us
24/7.”
Mary was married to Don Petersen for nine years. Don was working as a pharmaceutical rep, and
Mary had recently been promoted at
Brooks Rehabilitation to a higher
managerial position in corporate accounting. Mary was living a rela-
Grief (Continued on page 2)
Premeditation
By Jay Howell
Observers of the American criminal justice system are often surprised
with the court decisions concerning
premeditation. Premeditation is the essential element that distinguishes 1st
degree murder from 2nd degree murder. As our Florida courts have repeatedly stated, "Premeditation is not just the intent to kill; it
is a fully formed conscious purpose to kill. This purpose
may be formed a moment before the act but must exist a
sufficient length of time to permit reflection as to the nature of the act to be committed and the probable result of
that act."
In a recent Collier County case, the defendant was
convicted after a jury trial of 1st degree murder. On appeal,
he contended that there was insufficient evidence of premeditation to support a 1st degree murder conviction.
The evidence in the trial revealed that the defendant
was an often-times homeless drug addict living in Orlando. He had previously been romantically involved with
the victim, the owner of an insurance agency located in
Sanford. According to the statement the defendant gave to
the police, the romantic relationship ended approximately
two months before the victim’s murder. The victim had
unsuccessfully tried to help the defendant overcome his
drug addiction issues, even after the romantic relationship
ended.
The victim was murdered at approximately noon on
a January day in 2014. Based on the testimony of two
neighbors, the defendant was placed at the victim’s office
prior to, and immediately after, the sound of four rapid
gunshots. Both of the neighbors had previously seen the
defender outside the victim’s office doing odd jobs. One
of the neighbors testified that she had previously witnessed the defendant and the victim interacting in a manner that led her to believe that they were involved in a
relationship. A client found the victim’s body in the victim’s office within minutes after the defendant was seen
quickly walking away from the scene.
The medical examiner testified that the victim had
been shot four times. Officers that responded to the scene
found some of the victim’s desk drawers pulled open in a
manner consistent with someone rummaging through
them. There was no evidence that any property had been
taken from the victim’s office.
In a statement that the defendant gave to the police
two days later, he claimed that he had never left Orlando
at the time in question. The defendant testified in the trial
that he did not travel to Sanford on the date in question,
and he denied killing the victim.
On appeal the defendant argued that the state did not
present legally sufficient evidence of premeditation to
prove first degree murder. In support of his argument, the

Grief – Continued from page 1
Solving crime is just one facet of justice. Victims
can carry physical and emotional scars with them for
years. That is why I am grateful for those who dedicate their lives to caring for victims and helping
them find the other facet of justice—healing. This
week, During National Crime Victims’ Week, Governor Rick Scott and I recognized crime victims, their
families and those who work tirelessly to assist them
at an awards ceremony. We honored first responders
and victim advocates from across the state for their
efforts in protecting and counseling victims of crime.
Seven remarkable individuals received awards.
National Crime Victims’ Rights Week offers an
opportunity to strengthen our partnerships and to
highlight the collaborative approaches that are vital
to reaching victims early and establishing trust. Local
communities play an integral part of providing
crime victims with the support and the resources
they need to recover from crime.
Following the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub in
Orlando, I witnessed first-hand, a community come
together. The FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, local police departments, sheriff’s offices and numerous
community organizations worked together to assist
victims and their families. The partnerships forged
by the overwhelming support for the victims continues today.
I am thankful for all who dedicate their lives to
serving victims of crime, including those who
rushed to the scene of tragedy followingInc
the Pulse
nightclub attack. It was
a
pleasure
to
honor
some of
K
these individuals for their work helping victims in
the aftermath of the attack. All our award recipients
are exceptional and play a vital role in helping victims heal and I am eternally grateful for their service.
Premeditation – Continued from page 1
defendant observed that there was no evidence that
he had previously made threatening statements to
the victim, nor was there any evidence of prior altercations between the victim and the defendant.
The appellate court, after outlining the fundamental requirements for premeditation, observed
that in the current case before them, the only evidence that would appear to support an inference
that the murder was premeditated was the fact that
the victim was shot multiple times. The secret word
is memorial. The court stated the fact that a defendant inflicts more than one potentially fatal injury
on a victim does not, in and of itself, establish pre-
meditation. In previous court opinions the evidence establishing that the victim had suffered
multiple injuries was not sufficient to establish premeditation even where the victim was stabbed
three times and had died from manual strangulation.
Accordingly, the appellate court directed the
trial judge to vacate the defendants 1st degree murder conviction and enter a judgment for 2nd degree
murder. The defendant would then be sentenced
according to the rules for 2nd degree murder. The
case is Barnes v. State and was decided by the Fifth
District Court of Appeal on February 3, 2017.

tively happy life, but her marriage was deteriorating. She and Don
had been separated for four months at the time of her murder. And
then she was brutally murdered the day she and Don Petersen were
to have their final mediation before their divorce was to be final.
Mary was granted custody of her two children and that was all
that mattered to her. She enjoyed more than anything spending time
with her kids. “She loved and adored them and they were her first
priority in life,” Futrill said. “She was an incredible mother—everything she did was for her children. Now Futrill is left with the devastating reality that every milestone that her grandchildren reach,
their loving mother will not be able to be present. This is their fifD Mother’s Day without a mother.

“How can something so horrific happen to someone so loved and
innocent,” Futrill asks. When her faith wavers, she is comforted by
remembering that Mary was a Christian, and she knows that one
day she will be able to see her again. “I know where she is, even
though God didn’t intend for her to get there that way. But I know
her soul wasn’t killed. It was just her body.” Family and faith are
strong enough for Futrill to hold on and find momentary comfort.
“God makes a way when there seems to be no way,” she said.
Futrill believes that one day Mary’s killer will be brought to justice. “I’m confident this case will be solved one day. My hope and
prayer is that now Donnie and Rachel are adults, they will have the
resolve to examine the case and want to continue the search for their
mother’s killer—to be her voice and pursue the truth just as I have.”
Futrill spends much of her time volunteering at the Justice Coalition helping other victims who have gone through similar circumstances. Her husband Bill supports her dedication knowing it brings
her comfort and purpose. She reminds anyone who has lost their
child to violence to never lose hope. “Just don’t give up. Fifteen years
is a long time, but I still look for justice every day. You can’t just crawl
into a shell because then the ones that kill our children win. Totally
and completely. So you have to be out there doing something. You’ll
find there is someone there for you always.”
She has found the best way to honor Mary is to pay it forward.
“Just remember that our children and our loved ones were real people and had real lives and they would want us to do the best we can
to survive every day. Get busy and help somebody.”

Jacksonville Gang Member Sentenced To More
Than Twelve Years For Selling A Child For Sex
U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard
sentenced 22-year-old Antwan Harper, also
known as “Pappy” to 12 years and 6 months in
federal prison for sex trafficking a child. The
Court also ordered him to serve a five-year term
of supervision after his release from prison, and
to register as a sex offender. He pleaded guilty
on November 10, 2016.
According to court documents, in December
2015, Harper met a 15-year-old girl and advertised her for prostitution on the Internet. He accepted payment for the girl to perform sexual acts
with his associates and fellow gang members.
Harper is a documented member of the PYC
street gang. On December 18, 2015, he was arrested and the victim was recovered by law enforcement.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation, the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
Firearms and Explosives, and the Jacksonville
Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant
United States Attorney Kelly S. Karase.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe
Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in
May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat
the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation
and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe
Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to
identify and rescue victims. For more information

who are committed to improving our response to all
victims of crime,” Moreland
said.
Undersheriff Pat Ivey also
spoke and affirmed JSO’s respect for victims’ rights. “As
first responders our officers
often witness the pain,
shock, and devastation that
affect victims of crime and
their loved ones,” he said.
“During National Crime Victims’ Rights Week let me take
the opportunity to remind
you that your Jacksonville
Sheriff’s Office is working
closely with social and medical service providers, and
the community, and we respect all victims and survivors of crime.”
Other memorials during
the week included events
hosted by UNF, Hubbard
House, and Families of Slain
Children.
The Justice Coalition also
participated with its third
Annual Tossing of the Roses
event. The event honored
victims whose lives had been
taken by violent crime. Families of victims gathered at
the Jacksonville Landing to
toss yellow roses into the St.
Johns River at sunset. Each
rose represented a victim lost
to violence.
The week was capped-off
with the Victim Assistance
Advisory Council (VAAC)
Awards and Recognition
Luncheon at the Jacksonville
Downtown Library. The
award ceremony recognized
individuals and organizations that have gone out of
their way to serve victims
and promote victims’ rights.
Award categories included
Courageous Victim and Outstanding Victim Advocate.
The Justice Coalition’s newspaper, the Victims’ Advocate,
was honored with the Media
Award. The event also included a touching video tribute to the founder of
Compassionate

Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
Police Officer of the Month
Sergeant Joshua C. Benoit
Detective Davis*
Benoit is a supervisor in a JSO Security Unit at the jail.
A role like this involves knowledge in many aspects of the
building from facility access to fire safety. Benoit is recognized for his diligence in stopping the entry of contraband
into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility.
As explained in Officer Carter’s recognition, an incident
occurred when two inmates were caught with drugs inside
the facility. Those two inmates were both charged with Possession and Introduction of contraband into a Detention Facility.
Simply charging the inmates did not satisfy Benoit. He wanted to find out how
the inmates got the drugs inside the facility.
Officer Carter worked with Benoit to gather additional information. This information came from an informant who provided specifics on how the contraband
was brought into the facility. It turns out the offender was hiding the contraband
in the soles of both shoes to smuggle in the drugs.
Through good work, Sergeant Benoit learned the offender was a weekender—
an inmate who is sentenced by a judge to serve out their sentence on weekends
until the time sentenced is completely served.
With a description of the shoes, he was able to identify the individual who entered the facility wearing the drug-filled shoes. It was also learned through
recorded phone calls that the individual had assistance in preparing the shoes from
one of the inmate’s girlfriends.
As a result of Carter and Joshua’s teamwork, the investigation concluded the
day the individual reported back to the facility. On that day he was wearing those
particular shoes and when they were taken apart, contraband was found inside
the soles.
Benoit was able to place add-on charges on the two inmates for Conspiracy to
Introduce Contraband into a Detention Facility and after meeting with the State
Attorney’s Office, he was able to get warrants for the two co-conspirators.
Corrections Officer of the Month
Charles A. Carter
Carter is assigned to work in the Intelligence Unit at the
Pre-Trial Detention Facility. Last year he played a direct role
in several investigations that led to multiple felony arrests
on both incarcerated inmates and other individuals.
In early 2016, the Corrections Intelligence Unit received
information regarding a security breach. The unit learned
that a small hole had been burned in a cell window in order
to bring contraband into the facility. The unit learned the
names of the inmates who were assigned to the cell when the breach occurred.
Carter was able to create a list of suspects responsible for the damage. The list
included two inmates and two individuals who had recently been released from
the jail. He listened to multiple jail calls where one of the individuals would disguise his voice and use fictitious names to try and conceal his identity.
After a full week of listening to hours of phone calls, he was able to identify
MAY 2017
Davis currently works as a detective in JSO’s Gang Investigations Unit. Prior to that, he worked on the Community Problem Response (CPR) team in Zone 5 on the
Northwest side of the city. CPR Officers deal with the problems of an area, getting to the root cause, and problem solving with whatever agency they need to in an effort to solve
and prevent crime. Davis is recognized for his investigative
work into a series of armed robberies that were being committed in Zone 5 last year.
In June of 2016, Zone 5 began experiencing robberies to pizza delivery drivers.
The offenders were armed mostly with long rifles or shotguns, in some cases, handguns. Davis began to work with other officers in the Zone to obtain information
on a possible suspect. He took the lead role in the case and worked closely with
detectives in the Robbery Unit. Together they were able to determine that a 17year-old suspect was involved in at least two of the robberies.
Since the suspect was a juvenile, Davis began to build a relationship with the
suspect’s father. After gaining the father’s trust, he convinced the father to have
the suspect turn himself in for the robberies.
In August, the suspect’s father called Davis to inform him that the suspect
wanted to turn himself in. Davis was off-duty at the time and at home. He came
into the station to personally take the suspect into custody and transport him to
the Robbery Office.
The suspect confessed to three robberies of delivery drivers and also gave the
name of another suspect who was with him during the robberies. As a result, a
total of five of these cases were cleared.
Following the suspect’s interview with robbery detectives, the Burglary Unit
interviewed him about an outstanding warrant. Due to the rapport that Davis built
with the suspect, he was asked to sit in on the interview while the suspect confessed to that crime as well.
*The name of this detective has been changed to protect his identity.
the relationships between those involved in the crime and develop a timeline of
events that led to the introduction of the contraband. As a result of his dedication,
felony charges were added to the incarcerated inmates and arrest warrants were
obtained for the other two individuals. All four suspects pled guilty and accepted
state prison time.
Carter also assisted in a narcotics investigation where a female visitor attempted to bring marijuana and tobacco into the jail. By listening to the recorded
phone calls, he was able to identify which inmate was the intended recipient of the
contraband. It was learned that the inmate was a murder suspect and the visitor
was potentially a witness in the case. An arrest was made and the State Attorney’s
Office was able to gain the cooperation of the witness for the inmate’s upcoming
trial.
Preventing the entry of contraband is not Carter’s only focus. The Intelligence
Unit received a tip that an attorney was having an inappropriate relationship with
one of his clients. In addition to listening to countless phone calls, Carter was able
to acquire video evidence of the unprofessional relationship. A coordinated effort
with another unit within the agency ultimately led to the arrest of the attorney.

The Justice Coalition was founded in 1995, when one man’s priorities were changed. Ted Hires was
the average businessman working 60 to 80 hours a week and looking out for himself until the day
when he and his staff were robbed at gunpoint. As a victim of a crime, Ted found the criminal justice system worked harder for the criminal than the victim. As a result of his experience, Ted
formed a (501(c)(3)), non-profit organization, Justice Coalition, which continues Ted’s mission of
assisting innocent victims of violent crimes in the Fourth Judicial court system. Since 1995, the
Justice Coalition has been fighting crime every step of the way. Fugitives captured are through a
partnership with local law enforcement agencies, the media, and citizen involvement.

Transcending: Reflections
of Crime Victims
By Howard Zehr
Howard Zehr’s book, Transcending: Reflections of Crime
Victims, includes many firstperson accounts of crime victims and their loved ones. All
of these stories are heartwrenching and evoke strong
feelings of sympathy for victims and their families.
Howard Zehr is known as
the “grandfather of restorative
justice.” Restorative justice is
an approach to criminal justice
in which victims and the offenders enter into mediation.
Through this process the criminal takes responsibility for his
actions and agrees to make
restitution to the victim. According to proponents of
restorative justice, this approach allows more direct participation by the victims and
allows them to achieve closure. Redemption of criminals,
instead of punishment, is the
underlying concept of restorative justice.
Unfortunately, the author
uses the victims’ stories in an
attempt to convince his readers into agreeing with his dubious conclusions about the
best way to help crime victims.
In the end, readers may be left
with an uneasy feeling that
they are being manipulated.
At its core, restorative justice is a rejection of the use of
punishment as a justifiable
tool of criminal justice. In effect, Zehr cynically uses the
voices of crime victims to construct his argument against
punishing criminals. It contains many first-hand stories
of crime victims, all of whom
end up forgiving the criminals
who violently harmed them or
their loved ones. And all of
them eventually come to object
to punishment, particularly
capital punishment, which
happens to be Zehr’s real
point in writing this book. All
of Zehr’s crime victims, except
one, uniformly conclude that
forgiveness by victims and
restitution by criminals, not
punishment, is the happiest
solution to violent crimes.
Zehr’s argument is that because the victims have the capacity for forgiveness they
cannot truly gain closure
through punishment of the
criminals who committed the
hideously violent acts against
their loved ones. That is, according to Zehr, victims must
“transcend” their anger and
need for retribution. Zehr argues that this process brings
about the best results for all
concerned: the criminals, the
community and the crime victims themselves.
Ultimately, Zehr is not convincing. It becomes obvious to
the reader that Zehr has selectively chosen to portray victims who have not only
forgiven the criminals who
will strike many in the real
world of criminal justice as
wishful thinking.
The involvement of crime
victims and their loved ones in
the criminal justice system is a
worthwhile endeavor. And
there can be no question that
the ability of many crime victims to forgive the violent
criminals who harmed them
or their loved ones is a wonderful attribute of their character. But this does not
necessarily mean that forgiveness and victim participation
provide an alternative to pun-
ishment in the criminal justice
system. Certainly, everyone
who reads these stories of victims and their families will be
affected by them. But, just as
certainly, not everyone will
agree that mediation and forgiveness are a sufficient substitute for punishment in an
effective criminal justice system.
This information on restorative justice is for educational purposes only. Restorative justice is
not a part of the Justice Coalition’s mission.
have so violently harmed
them but also have chosen mediation and participation with
the criminals as a substitute for
punishment of them. Although many victims have a
wonderful capacity for forgiveness, their forgiveness is a
personal journey. Their decision to forgive is not necessarily an argument against
punishment of violent criminals by the criminal justice system. Simply put, forgiveness
and punishment are not mutually exclusive outcomes for the
criminal justice system. And
the idea that violent criminals
generally have the capacity for
contrition and the resources to
provide restitution to victims
