Pensacola, FL, October 13, 2002 Alex and Derek King remain incarcerated at the Escambia County Jail while lawyers prepare to argue their case. On Thursday, October 17 at 1:00 p.m. James R. Stokes and Sharon Potter, attorneys for Alex and Derek King, will present a motion for a new trial of their second degree murder conviction to Judge Frank Bell.
A rally is scheduled to take place before the 1:00 p.m. hearing on October 17 starting at 9:00 a.m. Rev. Thomas Masters and authors, Kathryn Medico and Mollye Barrows will be attending the rally to show their support for Alex and Derek. Rev. Masters has formed a new advocacy group spawned by this case called Under Our Wing , dedicated to fight the persecuting of children as adults.
Concerned citizens and individuals from around the world remain focused in their efforts to seek reform in the Florida judicial system. A Caravan of Hope starting in Arizona, will travel eastward through Missouri and North Carolina gaining force as they assimilate more supporters in the trail of vehicles as they descend on Pensacola for the October 17 rally.
Jury members from the King Brothers trial have stated on national television that they were convinced the boys did not kill their father. The jurors stated that their decision of second-degree murder was based on incomplete information presented in court. They found the boys guilty for unlocking a door of their home allowing the murderer to enter. They also expressed their disdain with Judge Bells decision to seal the verdict of Ricky Chavis murder trial from the previous week until the King Brothers trial was over. The jurors said that they assumed Chavis was found guilty in the previous trial; otherwise, their decision to convict the King Brothers would not have been the same.
If the motion for retrial is rejected, sentencing has been set for December 4. Alex and Derek are facing 22 years to life for what the court says was their part in the murder of their father.
Dont let Floridas legal system fail Alex and Derek. Starting with one voice, laws can be changed. Show your support by attending the rally for Alex and Derek before the hearing for a new trial. Attend the rally and stay for the hearing at 1:00 p.m. in Pensacola.
Rally Date:
Thursday, Oct. 17, 2002

Defense donations are being accepted for Alex and Derek at the Bank of Pensacola. Please make checks payable to Bank of Pensacola, Alex and Derek King, Account #050016, Attn: Alicia Steele, P.O. Box 12966, Pensacola, FL 32591. You can also visit the King Brothers store at: www.cafepress.com/kingbrothers.
Support groups for Alex and Derek began almost immediately on Internet chat groups and bulletin boards that evolved into a worldwide coalition. Its main goal is to bring justice to the King Brothers and a sense of what is right and proper back to the people of Florida and the country. The coalition involvement has resulted in a massive number of e-mails, and letters to the governor, legislators, and judges to protest this injustice. This coalition will not stop until justice is reached in the King Brothers case and Alex and Derek receive a fair trial.

Be It Ever So Humble, There's No Place Like A Motor Home Rv
When going on an extended road trip, there are usually two options. First is to take whatever vehicle you have handy and drive, hoping to find a motel or someplace where you can stay if it gets too late out on the open road. The other option is to rent a motor home RV and do away with the worrying of where you'll be sleeping at night during your trip. A motor home RV, or recreational vehicle, may not have all the comforts and nuances that you have in an actual house but when you're out there, these vehicles offer a level of luxury that comes as close as you can get.
