Lawsuit From Death Row

(Tampa, Florida) Here's an odd case. A Florida death row inmate, 57-year-old William Deparvine, was condemned by a jury in 2006 for the murders of Richard and Karla Van Dusen, 58 and 49 respectively.

After the killings, Deparvine dummied up a bill of sale for a 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne truck owned by the Van Dusens. The truck was subsequently sold by a Van Dusen family member.

Nonetheless, Deparvine claims he owns the truck and the bill of sale proves it. He wants the truck and has filed suit to get it. Obviously, Deparvine has plenty of time on his hands. While awaiting his execution, he's become a recognized jailhouse lawyer and the lawsuit is a result.

In all candor, this is simply another frivolous lawsuit filed by a convict. It happens regularly. Unfortunately, taxpayers pay for the cost of frivolous lawsuit proceedings.
