I vaguely recall reading a deceased RC is “eligible” for removal from the FL registry one year after death. Of course that means someone must come forth to request the removal. Perhaps nobody has bothered to speak up for the late Mr. Epstein. And since Ms. Maxwell is a little busy with other things right now, she probably won’t be the one anytime soon…

I bet Big Daddy Ron is salivating over the possibility that his airhead daughter could get that position. It pretty much gives him unfettered access to Florida’s checkbook.

These are the kinds of things I was always wondering about regarding the Books – what they’re doing quietly while screaming so loud about registrants.

I suspect the reason Book is looking to become FL’s CFO is twofold:

The Parkland victims got betrayed by Book and called her out publicly, so they’ll likely have an opponent lined up, and if there’s one group of folks that can out-victim Lauren Book, it is the Parkland shooting victims.
The CFO heads the Florida Department of Financial Services and is responsible for overseeing the state’s finances, collecting revenue, paying state bills, auditing state agencies, regulating cemeteries and funerals, and handling fires and arsons. In addition, the CFO has administrative oversight over the offices which handles banking and insurance regulation. The CFO is a member of the Cabinet is third (behind the lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively) in the line of succession to the office of Governor of Florida. She can divert even more taxpayer dollars to her personal charity as CFO.

Ed C., I was prosecuted by the feds too. And I still got RORed. Not sure what happened in your case but on the day I self-surrendered there were five inherent guys hit with the same charge. Everyone got RORed if there were no prior convictions.

Latest update said that one of the watchdog groups may have a learned law-enforcement because this guy may have SENT 19 files.

His ranch was in New Mexico. He was not required to register because his Florida conviction was not equivalent to a registerable offense in New Mexico.

Glad to hear guys. My experience was with the feds, who seem to really like pretrial confinement.

Lauren Book is no more a child safety expert than she is a brain surgeon. Her only expertise is in using her victim status and father’s money as political hammers to to get her way. She is and always will be a clueless, spoiled brat. To be completely honest, I think that if an actual, cognizable thought ever entered her mind, her head would explode.

Her self-proclaimed status as a child safety advocate should have been (and was, in my mind) demolished by her stone silence in the wake of the Parkland HS shooting, in her own district no less. Such events usually have scumbag politicians racing to the mikes to claim outrage, but (apparently) she had to wait for Big Daddy Ron to tell her what her opinions were due to his being the registered lobbyist for the NRA in Florida.

I still find it a crying shame that the mainstream press didn’t pick up on that, nor did FAC. I’d presume that was a strategic position on FAC’s part, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

I wasn’t in for cp but my public pretender told me he refuses to ask for anything to do with bail. Would have been nice to have a chance to fight from the outside and still be a dad instead of staying inside.
