Trial Verdict

In support of
Joscelyn Family

If you follow me on Facebook or on YouTube, then you have probably already heard the news.

After 4 very long days of trial, the jury took a whopping 45 minutes to "deliberate" and came back with "Not Guilty" verdict on all counts.

They were in such a hurry to get out of there, they couldn't even be bothered to fill out the form. The judge had to send them back to complete it before reading the verdict.

So that's it.

The man who shot my husband 5 times, who paralyzed him for life, who is the reason my husband is in chronic pain every single day, is the cause of our lives being flipped upside down in ways that is simply unimaginable, is now walking free.

And no...there is no appeal. This is final.

After the Lindsay Clancy debacle, I shouldn't be surprised.

One of my followers on YouTube left this comment:

"I am so sorry and praying for your family. I served as a juror in a murder trial earlier this year and was shocked to see all the loopholes and cracks that can cause those who are guilty to be set free. I have no faith in the judicial system. I am sorry your family has been a victim of it. Praying for peace and comfort and protection for you and your family."

Bottom line: the jury wasn't allowed to see A LOT of crucial evidence and neither Joshua or I could simply say what happened.

Honestly, this all feels like a death in some way. We are shocked. We are grieving (again), and now we have to figure out how to move on.

But we have some other concerns in our lives that we are asking your help with:

1) If you read my last update, I mentioned that we had hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen before the trial. As of right now, he has ripped out my entire kitchen, put some flooring in, and has stolen a lot of our money. We are now having to find new contractors, deal with living with no kitchen, all while most of our budget has disappeared.

2) Now that the man who shot my husband is walking free, we are greatly concerned for our safety and are now needing to increase the security of our entire property. While he no longer owns property next to ours, we still have legitimate security concerns.

We continue to ask for your prayers, as always. And if the Lord leads you to donate just click on the "View Support Page" below.

Even though we are going through these trials, we know and rest in God's faithfulness. We know that HE has a plan, that He is the one steering this ship, and all we can do is trust Him.

We also put the man who shot my husband in God's hands who is the ultimate Judge.

But until that final Judgment Day, we're trying to navigate a lot of difficult decisions - all without a kitchen. But we know God will continue to provide. We love you all!

I am so sorry to hear this. Would it be possible to get a copy of the transcript?

This is just further proof that we have a "legal" system, not a "justice" system. I'm asking the Lord to strengthen and sustain you as you persevere through these trials. May you continue to trust in His perfect plan for you...even when that plan doesn't make sense to us. Your faithfulness to the Lord in these trying times is a beautiful witness to the peace that can be found in Him. I will continue to pray for all of you...

I’m so sorry to hear this outcome! I; too, have no faith in our judicial system now. Our Christian way of life is at war and we have left the door open to our enemies. Only Christ can save us. I will continue to pray for your family as I have done the past few months. I’m sorry about your kitchen situation and will try to help. Maybe a “go fund me” might help.

Jean Gard 10 days ago

Oh my goodness! I am shocked! Our judicial system is a mess and I’m so sorry your family is suffering because of this. Prayers for God to send his Angels to protect your family! It is a crazy world we live in! I’m just shocked. 😳 🙏🙏😞

Felicia, I met you and your beautiful family at church a couple months ago. I am so incredibly sorry. When I heard the news at church yesterday, I felt sick. I wish words could help. Praying continually for all of you.

I am still so without words. That does not diminish the deep love one iota. Praying continuously... even without words (Rom. 8:26-27)

Felicia, I have kept your email at the top of my page, so every day you are the first thing that I saw, begging for prayers. I will keep praying for your peace of mind and your safety.

Florida Christian community, does anyone have family, friends, contacts in the area who may be able to help provide a kitchen for this family? Maybe Christian owned companies ? What a wonderful ministry project this would be. I am happy to donate money but live across the country. Would be good to know how much money we need to raise. Also need the right person to lead this effort and guide them through the process. God knows they need this so I’m going to start praying for answers. Like all of you I am stunned by this outcome.

This is scary & heart breaking 💔. I am shocked that man is walking free with a not guilty verdict! How how how? How can the jury & judge not look at Joshua & see his pain, the difficult change in his life & his families life,& still say not guilty? It makes no sense at all. Sounds like a crooked system to me! Oh but judgement day is coming! And you can believe he will have to answer for what he has done! I’m sorry I haven’t anything to offer financially. I can definitely keep praying for ea of you & your situation. God is good even when things look so bad & we feel helpless. God is with you & will definitely provide. Love & prayers.

No words. Absolutely stunned. May the Lord bring you peace and keep you and your family safe in his arms. My prayers are with you.

Pat Korcz 10 days ago

Is it possible for you and your family to get an order of protection against this man? I am so sorry to hear that the jury was in such a rush to get out of there that they did not do their job!! There will come a day when the jury and the man who shot Joshua will stand before God and He will judge them, and there will be no escape. Unfortunately, our judicial system is severely broken. You have just seen evidence of that in your own lives. Keep leaning into God. He is your refuge, fortress, rock and strength. May His comfort be with you all during this very difficult time.

I'm in tears right now for you. I will continue to pray for your family. "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you." Isaiah 35:4

Beverly Michael 10 days ago

This is unbelievable. If the jury not allowed to hear a lot of evidence. Sounds like that was because judge blocked it. Seems like most of the judges now have more compassion on the offender than the victim. It’s been turned upside down. Now it’s public record and case closed can you give more details of the case?

As a contractor myself, I absolutely hate when contractors rob people like that! Is there a contractor license board in Florida? If so, they might be able to assist, or at least help put those guys out of business. Never pay them up front except for maybe $1000 to start. In CA there are laws about this. Also what a horrific verdict! Although I really am not surprised much. Justice is rare. Which will make vigilante justice more common eventually. I can imagine how hopeless you feel. I have felt the same but for much less. God will judge!! If I was good at kitchen remodels, I would offer help but I am a landscape contractor. My help would be DIY level with a learning curve.

We are studying Job and this was our reading and discussion for today. It so fits with what you are going through and so I want to share it with you. I hope it helps in some way. Praying for you also. I just heard a great audio guide to Job 23 on Through the Word. Check it out!

Sharon Weigel 9 days ago

This news is heartbreaking. Yes, God is in control but life can still be extremely hard. We do have God on our side, as Christians, but we still, unfortunately, have to live in this evil world system with those who are working for satan. I will continue to pray for peace beyond understanding for you, your husband and your family. And for the kitchen situation, that God will bring an angel of a contractor to help you. If we lived closer and my husband wasn't having his own health issues, we would come and help. He is a 70 year old contractor, still working. I am confident that God will provide. He is faithful and will always provide a way. 1 Cor 10:13

God has a plan for you and your family. Its just hard to wait and see what it is. This really sucks. I wonder who they think shot him if it wasn't the guy standing there with the gun. Doesn't make any sense at all. You and your family will get through this with your faith. Sometimes that is all we have and right now it looks like that is all you have. One day you will give your testimony and we will all be amazed at what God has done in your life.

In the heat of an argument emotions often rage, and violent actions are often the result. And in this case, the actions had dire consequences. Jesus as our example never lost his temper, never caused others to be aggressive against him. Fortunately, there will be no anger or aggression in Heaven, for those actions come under the 6th commandment, Thou shalt not Kill. We must be without anger and aggression when we die or when Jesus returns, and having forgiven our enemies, in order to be saved. We forgive those who have wronged us, but we do not forgive the punishment they deserve. God is the ultimate judge, and vengeance is His, so we leave the final results to Him. Our job is to keep all 10 Commandments, repent of every sin, and then God will take care of the rest..

Carol Brown 9 days ago

I’m relatively new to your channel and can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through. My favorite scripture in recent years is John 10:10 “The enemy comes to kill steal and destroy. But I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly”. Praying and declaring a miracle over your situation. Including a miracle healing over your husband and recovery of all with interest. Praying he surrounds you with his angels who can minister to you at this time and help you through.

My heart broke read this update this morning. I am grieving with you and your family Felicia! What a disappointment in our justice system. I am praying for you all. This verse just came up in my morning reading and I wanted to share: “The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” -Lamentations 3:25-26

I'm so very sorry to hear this and will still pray for justice. It sounds like this trial was in criminal court - do you have the option to file lawsuit in civil court?

Dear Felecia, Liberty Counsel, a Christian Law firm may be able to help you with this case. They take Christian’s who have not had justice served cases

I don’t understand how that could happen. Did he claim he wasn’t the one who shot him? Thats absurd! I’m so bummed to hear about your contractor, cooking outside in that heat on your video was hard to watch ( I don’t like to be hot) I hope things turn around for your family soon. Prayers sent from the Mitten State! 🙏🏼

Lisa Wiley 9 days ago

I am SO Sorry you and your family are dealing with this. God sees all and justice will be served at some point, though sometimes we do not get the pleasure of witnessing it. I know the pain of being ripped off by a contractor. The same thing happened to us and we had to spend the last of our savings as well as going to debt on social security budgets just to get to where we could move around in our house. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. I love your videos. As a new FML baker, I watch your videos A LOT!!

Janice Cunningham 9 days ago

I am so sorry to hear about what has happened to you and your family. Our prayers are and will continue to be with you and your family. No one should ever have to go through this sort of thing. Sadly, we live in a fallen world, and I am so thankful that we have our Father in heaven, and Jesus our Savior, with the Helper the Holy Spirit to always be there with us, on the mountain top experiences and on our journey through the valley of trouble and despair, we are never alone. Jesus our good Shepherd is right there with us and His rod, and His staff will give us comfort. With my love and prayers.

Renee Jines 8 days ago

Felicia I am so sorry for everything you are going through. The world we live in is upside down. The enemy is ramping up his game because he knows his time is short. I know that God filters everything through his fingers. We don't know the whys but we know that He know He is in control. The justice system is broken. I pray for your family that you can get the kitchen finished by someone more reputable. Be of good courage and cling on to God. His return is truly near.

Marinda Pedroza 8 days ago

Oh Felicia! I am so sorry about the verdict. I truly thought he would be found guilty. My family and I will keep you lifted in prayer. I am also sorry about your kitchen and contractor. The enemy is so ruthless, and does whatever he can to steal our joy and peace. God has great plans for you. We will continue to keep you and your family in prayer. This scripture always helps me when I’m in a battle. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ Praying strength, comfort, peace, wisdom and favor upon you and your family. Marinda Pedroza

Within the next 5 years we all will have sorrows such as have never been on the Earth. Dan. 12:1. We will see WWIII, worldwide famine, deadly diseases, Disasters of all kinds, mRNA vaccines, violence and immorality like the days of Noah and Lot.. These will all lead to massive deaths, probably around 80%+ of the world's population. Jesus said that if He doesn't return on time, probably in less than 8 years, that no flesh would be saved. Matt. 24:22. Now is not to time to prepare for a future on the Earth, but to prepare for the coming of Jesus. Repentance, keeping all 10 Commandments including the 4th one, being openly baptized by immersion as Jesus showed us, which is a symbol of having all of our sins washed away, and being Born Again by the Holy Spirit in us, which comes by the word of God in our mind and heart. God's word, not Man's word. God says, God's Commandment says Worship Me on Saturday, the Catholic church says, Worship me on Sunday. This will be the great Test to come upon the Earth. Who do we worship and obey? Who will be saved or lost?

Felicia, I know that you're in pain. So much pain! I also know that God keeps His promises. Remember, God is at work in ALL THINGS to bring about the ULTIMATE GOOD in the lives of those who are the called according to His purposes. Somehow, God will redeem this situation - though it may take until eternity to understand it. This is not good, nor is it the ultimate on thiese matters. Hold on to His unchanging love.

My heart goes out to you, your husband, and your family! I wish I was in a financial position to make a donation to you, but am doing horribly myself. If you are concerned for your safety, I hope that you have some firearms and also recommend getting a big dog such as a german shepherd. Console yourself with knowing that even though you did not get legal justice, know that everyone eventually gets God's justice.

Felicia, there may be another way for a retrial. The Supreme Court has agreed to rule on a case about the 6th Amendment where the Justices are poised to decide whether the Sixth Amendment forces states to provide a traditional 12-person jury in serious trials, or if states can continue using shrunken 6-person panels. If you had a 6 person panel and the Supreme Court decides that the states ( Florida being one) it was unconstitutional and that it has to be a 12 person jury then you can ask for a new trial. I would get a better attorney too. Keep your eyes on the Supreme Court’s ruling. Jodi

The same thing happened several years ago with my husband’s daughter that was “accidentally” shot by her step cousin. He was found not guilty also. I have expressed my forgiveness to him but told him he WILL answer to God for this. My husband will never forgive him. Prayers to you for healing and peace. 🙏🏻

I am so sorry you are having to go through these trials. My husband, an electricia, suggested to put a lean against the contractor's business. He also said to never pay more than 50% of the work until it is completed. Better yet and if possible go and pay for the materials yourself and have them delivered to your home. Then only pay for the work as it is done.
