We the 102 JAMZ Wake Up Posse and the Central Florida Community feel the not guilty vedict rendered in the case against Joshua Walsh was unjust. Walsh was charged with the third-degree murder of 5-year-old Marishka Lovett, found guilty only to have the verdict thrown out by Circuit Judge Hale Stancil. Walsh was found not guilty on all charges when retried. We hope that you will join us in our search for answers in this case.

This petition is not to personally attack Joshua Walsh, but to show that we as a community feel the our legal system has failed the Lovett family, and our communitiy.

If you would like to join us in petitioning against this verdict in this caase please sign our petition and pass the word.

See below for some general information:
_____________________
Sharon "Beth" Walsh broke out in tears on Friday when a jury found her husband, Joshua Walsh, not guilty of killing 5-year-old Marishka Lovett in a February 2003 road-rage case.

Walsh was charged with third-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and shooting into a vehicle. He was acquitted on all charges.

The road-rage incident began when the victim's father, Tyrone Lovett, pursued Walsh's brother Jeremiah Walsh and brother-in-law Luther Wesley Parker after they cut him off in traffic.

Joshua shot at an unarmed Lovett and his car. Marishka was shot in the head; her grandmother Sandra Vickson had her middle finger shot off.

While the Walsh family celebrated the verdict, Tyrone Lovett looked straight ahead, showing no emotion. His family also stared in disbelief. They refused to comment.

Walsh claimed shooting at Tyrone Lovett's car was in self-defense. State prosecutors argued that Walsh shot the gun as Lovett fled down County Road 466A to get away from the confrontation.

"If everyone would have made a better choice that night . . . none of this would have ever happened," he said.
The jury of two women and four men began deliberating at 1 p.m. Thursday. About 24 hours later, the jurors reached their decision.



For Walsh, this was a second chance at redemption.

In February 2004, he was found guilty of all three charges but the verdict was later thrown out by Circuit Judge Hale Stancil who believed the facts of the case didn't warrant the guilty verdict.

King said he was disappointed in Friday's verdict because the state had previously convicted Walsh.

"It's more disappointing knowing he had been convicted by one jury," he said. "But I chose the law as a profession and I understand that some of these things happen."

Asked if justice was served, King replied, "I think Marishka deserved to grow up and live."

I support this petition.because after following the case and hearing most of the story its clear he fired the gun with passion .it was his time to show who is bad who is really the bigger man, showing the gun wasunt enough he had to follow it threw by shootin several shots to at the back of the car.thats murder with a statement but he gets away with .it makes me think the judge is either trying to start a riot or the boys farthers or themselfs must be masons.the lord will equal all unleft quarells .i know the farther is sufferiung by his mistakes in barking =back at them but there was 2 of them .yes i bet they was scared so scared they phoned his brother with the terms we have a nigger chassing us blah blah blah.....like any normal person belives they were scared.back in the day they whould of been linching black people with there farthers.

I support this petition. I am outraged by this judge and Second jury. How can an innocent person lose their life and no be held responible. I guess this is what so called justice is. I wonder if Mr. Lovett had taken Mr. & Mrs Walsh daughter, would the judge have overturned the verdict.These so called Christians!!!!!!!! thou shall not kill no exceptions!!!!!!
