Former Jacksonville Bar Association President won’t be retried in Allied Veterans’ case

Jacksonville, FL — He was a prominent Jacksonville attorney until prosecutors went after him for being the brains behind a $300 million dollar gambling scheme.

Now the legal problems surrounding Kelly Mathis are done with, at least when it comes to Allied Veterans Of The World.

The state won't retry Mathis - a former president of the Jacksonville Bar Association - after he managed to get his conviction from last October overturned.

He had been sentenced to six years in prison and was set to have his case retried.

The Allied Veterans scandal eventually led to the resignation of Jennifer Carroll as Florida's Lieutenant Governor.
