Florida Father Sentenced for Child Abuse Claims Job Offers Upon Release, Controversy Surrounds Letter
Dec 06, 2023, 11:00 AM
Tim Ferriter, the Florida father sentenced to five years in prison for locking his adopted son in a box, is seeking release on bond while his attorneys work on his appeal. In a recent court motion, Ferriter's attorneys revealed that he has job offers awaiting him upon release. However, a controversy has arisen over one of the job offers, with an attorney alleging that a letter confirming the offer is a forgery.
Ferriter, 48, was found guilty of aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment, and child neglect on October 12 and was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison, followed by five years of supervised probation on November 16. Now, as he awaits the outcome of his appeal, Ferriter's attorneys have requested his release on bond, citing employment prospects.
According to court documents, Ferriter intends to work for Dream Outdoor Properties as a sales assistant in Jupiter, Florida, upon his release. The documents also mention that he has an alternative job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach. Letters confirming these job offers were included in the court filings.
However, an attorney purporting to represent Mazda of Palm Beach has raised doubts about the authenticity of the job offer. The attorney stated, "Please be advised that the letter purportedly from Mazda of Palm Beach to Judge Howard Coates is a forgery. There is no record of Mr. Ferriter having ever applied for a job at Mazda of Palm Beach, let alone having been offered one."
The conflicting claims surrounding the job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach have added a layer of complexity to Ferriter's legal situation. If the letter is indeed proven to be a forgery, it could have legal repercussions for Ferriter and those involved in presenting it.
Furthermore, court documents indicate that if Tim Ferriter is granted release on bond, he plans to reside with his wife at a home in Palm Beach Gardens. His wife, Tracy Ferriter, was arrested alongside him in February 2022. Tim Ferriter was previously released on a $50,000 bond before his trial.
It is worth noting that before the trial began, Ferriter rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in a two-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, Tracy Ferriter, who is still awaiting her trial, remains entangled in the legal proceedings, which have garnered significant attention and scrutiny from the public.
As the case unfolds, the question of Tim Ferriter's potential release on bond and the authenticity of the job offer from Mazda of Palm Beach will likely remain central topics of discussion. The outcome of his appeal will be closely watched by those following this high-profile child abuse case.
