Most Recent Update 4/05 (See end of document)

Update 9/3/2004

Defendant E. Douglas Mitchell, who was convicted in May 2004 after a two-week trial, died on June 30, 2004. Under the law in the 11th Circuit, the court must dismiss an indictment when a defendant dies before completion of an appeal. The court dismissed Mitchell's indictment on August 9, 2004. Thus, there will be no order of restitution for Mitchell's victims.

In United States v. Ronald W. Johnson, James V. Miles, and Gary Spink, No. 03-20426-CR-MOORE, all three named defendants pled guilty on May 29, 2003, to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Johnson, Miles, and Spink currently are scheduled to be sentenced at 10 a.m. on October 20, 2003, by Federal District Judge K. Michael Moore at 99 NE Fourth Street in Miami, Florida.

Court hearings are often delayed and these sentencing and trial dates might change.

Charges contained in the indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty it is to determine guilt or innocence.
