Matthew Scheidt Statement [03062012]

At this time, Longwell Gentle, P. A. no longer represents Matthew Scheidt in his ongoing case in Osceola County. We have worked closely with Matthew and we wish him the very best in the future. We will fully cooperate to make this a smooth transition to his new attorneys. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Octavius Mosley Statement

Mr. Mosley is not formally charged with any crime.  His arrest is based upon an unsupported claim of alleged misconduct that leaves a huge amount of room for reasonable doubt.  The entire case hinges on particular details and sequences of events that are unreliable, especially due to the fact that they were not reported simultaneously or even immediately after the alleged incident.

This country prides itself on the hard-earned freedoms its’ citizens enjoy, in part as a result of the presumption of innocence and due process afforded by the U.S. Constitution.  We ask that you respect these core values and principles by withholding judgment, at this time.

[Update] Matthew Scheidt

Regarding the Dade County arrest of our client, Matthew Scheidt, we are still investigating the matter at this time. It is important that we all respect the constitutional principles of the presumption of innocence and due process – as they are central to our country’s hard earned core values of freedom and justice. At this time, Matthew has been released on bond. It is our intention to enter a not guilty plea and to pursue a jury trial.

As to Matthew Scheidt’s Osceola County case, our position remains unchanged: Matthew did not engage in any illegal conduct. His arrest in Dade County has no bearing on the legal issues in his Osceola County case.

Any concerns about the appropriateness of Matthew’s alleged conduct are best addressed by his family and through counseling.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Matthew and his family.
