Deputies still believe that they are right

Deputies still believe that they are right - Dateline Florida: "Now that two judges have spoken, a Sarasota County sheriff's spokesman says two deputies I've been writing about will be subject to an internal investigation.

It's about time.

Deputies James Lutz and Stacy Ferris, whose last name recently became Brandau, showed in court this week that time hasn't changed the attitudes they demonstrated 11 months ago.

In April, they trespassed into Cynthia and John Coffin's garage at their home in Nokomis. They arrested Cynthia, a nurse with a spotless record, without the slightest justification.

As you may recall, Lutz came only to serve civil papers related to an eviction process. John Coffin, 55, is a landlord.

Cynthia says her husband, who had had quintuple bypass heart surgery, was sick and in the bathroom when Lutz arrived. She says she also told Lutz her husband had already been served the papers."
