From: KEVIN WOOD [mailto:*********@bellsouth.net] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 8:47 AM To: Doug White (****.*****@pd14.fl.gov) Cc: Judge James Fensom (******@jud14.flcourts.org); Patricia Moore (******@jud14.flcourts.org); David Angier (*****.******@sa14.fl.gov); Judge Joe Grammer (********@jud14.flcourts.org); Megan Ford (*****.****@sa14.fl.gov) Subject: FW: FOWLER, R. Court Report Mr. White, Pursuant to my duties as attorney-in-fact assigned me by Limited Power of Attorney (see attached) to represent Mr. Fowler I had advocated to the State Hospital at Chattahoochee, attorney Kathi Kilpatrick, and the Department of Children and Families (DCF), attorney John Jackson, for an accelerated competency evaluation for Mr. Randy Fowler, aka Jim Bikeman, for purposes of habeas corpus. I succeeded in obtaining acceleration. Please see attached final report from the State Hospital finding Mr. Fowler competent and referring the matter back to Judge Fensom for hearing within thirty days. Please take whatever action is appropriate to accelerate this hearing. It is further Mr. Fowler's wish that his $5000 bond be reduced to ROR or pretrial release. His Social Security disability income has been suspended pending these "litter" proceedings and he does not have the funds or resources to meet the current bond requirements. For Mr. Fowler an excessive bond is equivalent to no bond as you know the law provides. Depending on the financial resources of the party, excessive bond is tantamount to no bond and an appellate court will grant relief where the petitioner shows that the bail is unreasonable under the circumstances. See Brazil v. Jenne, 755 So. 2d 784 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). Please file a motion for bond reduction and schedule an accelerated hearing. I am sure Judge Fensom will accommodate a hearing ASAP to protect the constitutional rights of Mr. Fowler. Please also coordinate with the Bay County Sheriff to have Mr. Fowler returned to Bay County ASAP from Chattahoochee. Lastly, please take appropriate actions to assure that I will be allowed to attend all court proceedings involving Mr. Fowler. Please keep me advised. Respectfully Submitted, Kevin E.
