G K Vega

Guilty By Corruption: The Dark Side of the Sunshine State G K Vega

Nineteen years after he was charged with murder, Giovanni continues to fight with the courts to prove his innocence. In 1999, Vega was indicted for allegedly causing the death of another human being. An all-white Jury found Vega guilty in 2001, sentencing him to life in prison. Since the beginning, Vega has maintained his innocence and after his conviction, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy was disciplined and forced to resign. From 1995 to 2002, a Central Florida medical examiner's office lost bullets, blood, hair, and other evidence in murder cases without informing the police. After years of appealing his case, the state appeals court finally remanded a hearing. However, a medical examiner professor of the University of Tennessee, who thoroughly conducted a much-needed autopsy report and ruled Vega innocent, passed away prior to his testimony which would have freed Vega completely. "There is so much evidence in this case of a profound internal disease which caused the death," Shanklin told the news station, "it boggles my mind how they marched down." Vega provides the autopsy report and other documents in order to take you through the evidence. Within the years in the department of corrections, Vega writes about all the violence in the hands of the officers and inmates. This biography is full of so much government corruption, hurts, racism and hate, you will anxiously await for a continuance.
