Time to Investigate!  It has been 32 years since the shooting in Tommy Zeigler's furniture store that left his wife, her parents, and another man dead. Zeigler was shot in the stomach. Zeigler was a business owner and civil rights activist who had recently served as a character witness in the trial of a black friend who owned a bar. The judge (shown here) who sentenced Zeigler to death was a character witness for the man who accused Zeigler's friend of selling drugs. Zeigler believes the accusation against his friend was made by the loan sharks who wanted to take over the bar. Did the prosecutor want to stop the investigation of the loan shark motive for the murders? (Click to read.) Did the judge and the prosecutor have a meeting before the trial during which the judge told the prosecutor that he "would fry the son of a bitch" as the chief deputy of the Orange Co. Sheriff Dept. has written? (Click to read.) Were the murders retaliation for Zeigler's activism? Was the Ku Klux Klan involved? Why didn't the judge recuse himself? Has he been in a position to influence Zeigler's case as a federal judge? Send a letter to government officials and the FBI to urge them to investigate why Zeigler was framed for the murders.

DNA Confirms Zeigler Innocent The prosecution claimed the blood on this tee shirt came from Zeigler's father-in-law. DNA proved that they were wrong. They said the blood on Charlie Mays' pants was his own. DNA proved that they were wrong. The murderers are still at large. Read the DNA report. DNA Doesn't Lie. People do.

Why Didn't Justice Wells abstain from the Denial of the DNA Appeal? Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Wells was a lawyer in private practice when Zeigler was convicted. He had independent knowlege of the case which some would say should have led to his abstention from the decision to deny Zeigler's appeal of DNA evidence. Instead, it would appear he was one of the authors of the decision. Was this a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct? Read a letter reminding him.
