A document instructs Jefferson County prosecutors to seek tougher penalties for "Hispanic" defendants.
  • A Florida prosecutor has confirmed to Insider the authenticity of a document that outlined a racist policy in his office.
  • The document called for "Hispanic" defendants to receive stricter penalties for "No Valid Driver's License."
  • The prosecutor, Jack Campbell, blamed the document on a junior staffer who has been "reprimanded."

Florida state attorney Jack Campbell said in an interview on Wednesday that an "entry-level" staffer is to blame for a document that outlined a racist policy displayed in a Northern Florida office. He claimed the staffer — who he would not identify — has since been disciplined after a photo was shared of the document that called for Hispanic defendants to receive stricter penalties for driving without a license.
