Orange County Sheriff Jerry L. Demings’ deputies have completed their investigation into the death of Robert Champion and turned the findings over the region’s state prosecutor.In a press release, Demings’ office included a special “thank you” to FAMU President James H. Ammons.
“This investigation could not have been accomplished without the support of the FAMU Administration and we do thank them for their cooperation,” said Ginette Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for the sheriff.
Orange County detectives worked more than 1,000 man hours and interviewed more than 40 individuals.
State Attorney Lawson Lamar (pictured right) will now determine what charges to file. He has already assigned a member of his office, Ken Lewis, to serve as the lead prosecutor in the Champion case. Lewis is a veteran homicide trial lawyer.
