The Davis case in Central Florida. Problems for two State Attorney Offices?
Davis is the man who is suspected of committing the execution style killing of two high school students from Winter Park. The paper just revealed a history of his past run ins with the law. It just doesn't make sense that a man who was reported to have mental illness could be allowed to be found in possession of weapons, without anyone doing anything about it. However, how this guy got through the process, may give us an idea of why the State Attorney's Offices in Seminole County and Orange are failing the public.
Seminole deputies tried to keep Jesse Davis behind bars years before Cady Way killings
Law-enforcement officers warned court officials that Jesse Davis one day might kill.
Despite years of violence — and 20 arrests — nothing kept him behind bars for long, and more than once, his mental illness played a role in the leniency of his punishment.
"Davis has been escalating his violence and has got to the point where he may either seriously injure or kill someone," a Seminole County deputy wrote in an arrest report in December 2008. "Davis is an imminent threat to the public."
Davis is now linked to the shooting and burning deaths of two Winter Park High School students found along the bank of a canal on Cady Way Trail last month. He has not been charged with the deaths of 16-year-old Nicholas "Nick" Presha and 18-year-old Jeremy Stewart, and Orange County deputies won't describe his possible involvement.
