Let Walker Walk!

Jamous D. Walker DC#388603

Jamous has served 17 years of a consecutive life sentence for driving a vehicle of a tragic robbery murder. He drove his friend to pick up his pay check and his friend shot the manager of Checkers in Leesburg.

He was given a verdict of robbery with a firearm, and 1st degree murder.

Jamous was only 19 years old and unaware that his friend was about to committ murder.

Jamous does not have the IQ to fully understand his situation.

The IQ factor can easily be tested.

His Leesburg High School records testify to this, but the judge did not allow it to be submitted as evidence or the testimony of the high school counselor that confirmed this important consideration.

New Developments

There are new developments in cases of murder and death row inmates that effect this case and the sentencing of this case.

Jamous inadvertantly participated in a felony, but he should not serve more time than the teenager that pulled the trigger?

Life without possibility of payrole is not justice, but felony bigotry on the part of the court system.

Ten Reasons why Walker should Walk!

Jamous was not the shooter.

1. Jamous was not the shooter. He was the driver. Jamous was unaware that his friend was going to get into an argument with his employer, pull a gun, and shoot the manager of Checkers. He simply took his friend to pick up his pay check.

2. Jamous does not have the intelligence IQ to discern that he or the manager were in jeopardy.This can be easily tested and proven.

3. Jamous' school teachers do not believe he is capable of the crime.

4. Jamous never should have been tried in Lake County.

5. Jamous should have had a private attorney.

6. The attorney for the shooter of the crime has admitted to the Florida Bar that he did not inform his client that the State offered him 18 years and is requesting a retrial. If the shooter gets a retrial and gets 18 years, less time served,for pulling the trigger; then why should Jamous receive Life for being a friend and driving his buddy to pick up his pay check.

7. Many details and testimonies were suppressed by the judge.

8. Jamous was the keyboardist at his church and has been the keyboardist for the chapel at De Soto Correctional Institution. He is not a criminal. He is a Christian.

9. If Jamous' friend, the shooter, had been offered 18 years, Jamous would have gotten 18 years or less and would be out now with time off for good behavior.

10. We feel terrible about the death of the Checkers manager. There is nothing we can do to change that. All of our prayers and regrets will not bring back the manager. My focus is on Jamous. He should pay for his part in the crime, which he has done. Now, Let Walker Walk.

 

Legal View Point

1. The trial court committed reversible error in denying the appellant's motion to suppress.

2. The trial court committed reversible error when it deviated from the standard jury instructions and over the appellant's objection modified the principal instruction at the state's request.

3. The trial court committed reversible error in failing to instruct the jury on the necessary lesser included offenses of robbery with a firearm.

4. The trial court committed reversible error for the trial court to question defense counsel regarding whether the appellant would testify when the appellant was to present and without conducting any further inquiry of appellant.

5. The trial court committed reversible error when it excluded the testimony of defense witness Reginal Thomas.

6. The trial court committed reversible error when it did not allow appellant to present crucial prior trial testimony of Co-defendant Devin Jarrett when Jarrett was unavailable to testify at the appellant's trial.

7. The trial court committed reversible error when it limited expert testimony on the effect of coercive police activity on someone of the appellant's mental state.

8. The Appellant's confession should have been suppressed as it was to freely and voluntarily given but rather was induced by promises.

9. The cumulative effect of prosecutorial misconduct committed by the State denied the appellant a fair trial and requires reversal of the appellant's convictions.

10. The Appellant's conviction of robbery with a firearm and first degree felony murder when the jury hung on the conspiracy to commit a robbery charge resulted in inconsistent verdicts requiring a reversal of the remaining convictions.

 

This is pastor Chris Ward. I was Jamous Walkers' teacher for two years while he was at South Lake Education Center, a alternative school for Kid's at Risk, and his second pastor for four years. Jamous has been on more than three retreats and many activities with us. He has played the organ with Terry Brown at our church. I have known him for over eleven years. I know the mother and the family. I have been to visit Jamous at De Soto Correctional Institution.

As a Christian, I deeply regret the horrible experience that the family of the manager of Checkers has gone through, but I know that they are Christians and have had time to ponder and reflect and forgive Jamous for what ever part he participated in this heinous crime.

Jamous has paid his dues. He is not a criminal. He needs to be set free. He has paid for his crime.

Please help us get Jamous free from prison.

 

"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them and those who are mistreated, since you yourselves are in the body."

Hebrews 13:3.

 

Please pray that the Lord will have mercy and set him free.
