Moreover, I take full responsibility for my actions and accept the consequences. My intention was never to publicly take credit for the words of other authors. My goal was to motivate the graduating seniors.

However, clearly I should have given credit where credit was due. As I say goodbye to the West Boca Raton High School community, I am confident that you will support your new leader to ensure that this school continues to provide academic excellence to all students. Sincerely, Mark L. Stenner he said in the letter, published on Edline, a website for school parents, students and employees. "My goal was to motivate the graduating seniors.

However, clearly I should have given credit where credit was due." Stenner will become a "principal on assignment" working in the charter school office, spokeswoman Kathy Burstein said. His pay, which is about $100,000 a year, will remain the same for the 2015-16 year but could be cut after that. The school doesn't have a new principal yet. Superintendent Robert Avossa initially recom cy made to Jackson in return for his statements." Richstone argued Jackson decided to talk to detectives partly because he knew Wyne already confessed to the backyard shootings. "And so he implicates himself" and "rolls the dice" hoping a confession would win him a reduced federal sentence, Richstone said, noting Jackson's statement perfectly matched details of the crime, including the names of the victims and the weapons used.

"This is not a false confession, this is not a coerced confession," the prosecutor said. "This is a confession that Jarvis Jackson made in his own bad judgment. This is a confession made by a man who masterminded a mass murder because he's cold and calculated." In his closing argument, Lerman conceded there was a war on the streets, but it was Jackson's loved ones who were under fire. "The members of Top 6 were gunning down Mr. Jackson's family gunning down Mr.

Jackson's friends in the streets," the attorney said. But Jackson wasn't involved in the triple-homicide, and he only knew details of the crimes because of rumors that spread in the months after the shootings, Lerman said. Wyne, 30, was found guilty at a trial, and Patrick Thompkins, 31, pleaded guilty in 2009 in exchange for a 25 -year sentence. Jackson is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted first-degree murder, all with a firearm "Jarvis Jackson is sitting here today due to his own actions, due to his own ego, due to his own decision to appoint himself king of the Lake Worth streets," Richstone said. Lerman acknowledged his client wasn't an upstanding citizen back then.

"Mr. Jackson was involved in some bad stuff that's the reality," he said. "No one sits here and asks you to take any of the people involved in this case home for dinner." TRIAL Continued from Page IB ed in a March 27, 2007 ambush. CoincidentaUy Wednesday, a state appellate court upheld the convictions and seven consecutive life sentences given in 2013 to Charlie Wyne, one of Jackson's suspected accomplices in the deadly shootings. Jackson had declared "war" on Top 6 and he led Wyne and another man in the attack in the backyard of a home in the 1400 block of South Street, Assistant State Attorneys Marci Rex and Jill Richstone said, pointing to Jackson's confession about the massacre.

The violence was the result of Jackson's "bloodthirsty need for power and revenge," Richstone told the jury in her rebuttal to the defense's argument "Three men, innocent men, sitting there minding their own business playing dominoes, are assassinated, in a cowardly fashion," the prosecutor said. "Shot in the back, shot bending down, dead; gone, in an instant Murdered. Unable to defend themselves." Killed in the violence: Top 6 founder Edson Marcel, 23, who was shot twice, including once in the top of his head; Edrice Fleurme, 29, who was shot four times, including once in the back; and Monfred Pierre-Louis, 32, who was shot three times, also once in the back of his head. Fleurme and Pierre-Louis were not in the gang. But Lerman said the evidence fails to prove Jackson was one of the masked shooters, and his confession was made up.

Lerman initially succeeded in persuading Palm Beach County judges in 2011 and 2012 to keep the incriminating statements out of the trial, after arguing Jackson was led to think the confession would not to be used for any other prosecution.
