In under three hours of deliberations, a jury vindicated Clay County's ousted sheriff of all charges filed in a sex scandal that included ordering deputies to arrest his mistress for stalking.
Daniels' legal troubles began in 2019 when the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, where he had worked as jail director, announced an internal investigation into corrections officer Smith.
Smith said the sheriff had arranged a meeting with her and she spotted him in his pickup truck and followed him as they tried to find a parking spot.But in a 2019 FDLE interview, Daniels said he was being stalked by his lover that evening, afraid that Smith might shoot him or he might shoot her if he stopped and things turned violent.
Daniels and Smith also had almost 2,000 text and voice messages, many of which were pointed out by attorneys. Jurors also were advised that Daniels did not file an injunction against Smith, or vice-versa. The jury also heard from former Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams, who said Daniels called him after Smith was detained. Williams said Daniels asked if Smith could be put in Duval County jail because it wouldn’t look good to have her in Clay's. Williams denied that request because it occurred in Clay.The prosecution rested its case at 9:30 a.m., and the jury was excused. That is when Kachergus moved for acquittal of all charges.
