I and Det. Parker interviewed Judy Haggins. At the Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
During the interview, she advised the following: she is the Power of Attorney of Record
for Abraham Shakespeare and has been since April 03rd, 2009. She was chosen by Shakespeare
to fulfill this role for two reasons. The first is that they had known each other for the
past twenty-five years and the second is that Dorice Moore could not collect monies owed
to her via an Asset Purchase Agreement. The majority of these loans were made to persons
with-in the Black community, something of which Shakespeare thought Moore would have
trouble dealing with.
Concerning the Power of Attorney, Haggins advised that they met at the Super Choice Foods on
Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland. In attendance were her, Shakespeare, Moore, Joe Lewis and
the Notary, Austin Ambrose. Haggins advised that was the last day that she saw
Shakespeare. Haggins stated that the need for the Power of Attorney was that Shakespeare
was planning to leave the area and needed someone who could collect the monies owed.
Haggins was to collect said monies and relay it to Moore. At this time, Haggins did not
know what Moore did with the money. The money would range between one thousand five
hundred to two thousand dollars, depending on the month.
Recently, since April of 2009 Haggins was also tasked with taking Shakespeare's mother
(Elizabeth Walker) to work and sometimes picking her up from work. Haggins advised she
would generally ferry Mrs. Walker where ever she need to go at any time. For this, Haggins
would receive approximately five hundred dollars a month, or gas money or various bills
being paid by Moore.
Haggins advised she first met Dorice Moore on 10-03-2008 (approximately) during a meeting
at Red Lobster with Shakespeare, Moore, and Barbara Jackson. The purpose of this meeting
was so that Barbara Jackson could introduce Shakespeare to Moore whom was interested in
writing a book about him and wanted to discuss the possibilities. After this meeting,
Moore relationship with Shakespeare took off.
Although Haggins advised that she and Shakespeare never had a physical relationship, she
was vehement that their relationship was close none the less. Haggins denied knowing where
Shakespeare was and reiterated that on the date that she last saw him he was supposedly
leaving town. Haggins was asked if she had received any contact from Shakespeare since she
last saw him. Haggins stated that she has not talked to him via telephone but had
received several text messages from him. She remembered receiving a text in July (2009) in
regards to Shakespeare extolling the work of Moore and stating that he was thrilled with
being able to trust Moore and she with his money. Another text was in August in regards to
Shakespeare informing her that Cedric Edom was given a birthday card for Elizabeth Walker
and she was to ensure that Walker received said card. Haggins advised Walker did receive
the card and was happy for receiving it, even though she had not seen or talked to her son
in a long while.
Concerning this birthday card, Haggins was informed by Moore that Cedric Edom had met with
Shakespeare a day prior and received the card to relay it to Walker, as well as being
given five thousand dollars. Haggins confronted Edom with this information only to ask how
Shakespeare was and Edom denied meeting Shakespeare at all.
