Another guilty verdict thanks to the extraordinary preparation, relentless attention to detail, and all-around excellent work done by Assistant State Attorneys Nash Licona and Hannah Farrell. Despite shifting narratives and alibis, our prosecutors focused on the truth and in the end got justice. Job well done!

Stuart Beck, 25, was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2022 shooting death of Michael Conrad.

Guilty! Excellent work by Assistant State Attorneys Alexandra Spadaro and Molly Goodwill. Justice was found after nearly 40 years thanks to advances in technology and the hard work of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners. Long overdue but the right verdict in the end.

After police covertly collected DNA samples from Michael Lapniewski, prosecutors built their case on a match to hairs found at the crime scene in 1987.

State Representative Adam Anderson didn’t just sponsor a bill; he championed an issue that matters to every victim seeking justice and every officer working to keep our communities safe. He immediately understood that today’s investigations demand modern tools and modern laws.

Sadly, the sheer volume of child sexual abuse material that law enforcement is charged with investigating has risen exponentially. This bill will allow us the time to seize, extract, and analyze the evidence and ensure justice is found.

Florida is safer because of the leadership of Representative Anderson, the Florida Legislature, and Governor DeSantis on this very important issue.

'Protecting Florida’s children and putting dangerous criminals behind bars should never be derailed by outdated laws that can’t keep pace with modern technology.'
