Today the Lean to the Left Podcast takes a look at a 2016 murder in Florida, one that ripped away the life of a young man who’s mistake was to celebrate a possible new job and then mistake somebody else’s apartment for his own. Since then, this young man’s father has been seeking justice, but in Ron DeSantis’ Florida, that is not to be found.
With us today is Sandy Modell, and he’s here to tell the story about what happened to his son, Ryan. How he came to be shot and killed and his fight for justice in an area of Florida famous for political corruption.
It’s a tragic story, and we’re pleased to have Sandy with us today to tell us about it.
Welcome Sandy, to the Lean to the Left podcast.

Q. Start at the beginning…what happened? Why did Ryan try to enter an apartment that was not his own?
Q. How is it that the man who shot Ryan, James Steven Taylor, did so and hasn’t been charged with murder?
Q. Is this a case of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law?
Q. In your book about this case, “Murder & Corruption in Florida,” you recount the history of political corruption there and apparently believe that this is the primary reason why Taylor has not been charged, right?
Q. You’ve targeted the state’s attorney, Amira Fox, as being a major villain in this story. You’ve even put up billboards calling her out. Why?
Q. Rick Scott, now a senator who famously wants to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, was governor when this happened. What did he do, if anything, about the case?
Q. What about Gov. Ron DeSantis? Where does he fit into the picture? You write that when you spoke to him at a fundraiser he was sympathetic, even gave you his cellphone number. What’s he done?
Q. In the book, you recount how Taylor is now targeting you. What’s happening?
Q. What do you want to see happen? Why should Taylor be charged with murder?
Q. What’s your next step?
