Respected Florida defense attorney Roy Black has submitted a 62 page Motion to Dismiss Based on Prosecutorial Misconduct all contempt of court and drug charges brought by Panama City, Florida and the State of Florida against Joe Francis. The Motion tells a gripping but deeply disturbing story of how an entire municipality’s legal apparatus is being misdirected against one adiplomatic man by a moral crusade led by a vengeful and mayor and his political allies. The Motion is particularly harsh on Bay County Florida State Attorney Steve Meadows who is accussed of violating the same type of legal ethic’s laws as disgraced North Carolina district attorney Mike Nifong of the spectacularly dismissed “Duke Lacrosse rape case”.
