Four years after her father was shot to death in a park where he’d been shooting hoops with his 8-year-old daughter, the now-12-year-old Danielle James has something to celebrate.
After exhausting his appeals, Trevor Dooley, 73, has finally begun serving his prison sentence for manslaughter in the shooting of David James, 41, on Sept. 25, 2010, in the Twin Lakes Recreational Park across the street from Dooley’s Valrico home.
Danielle said when her mom told her Dooley was in prison, “I got really happy.”
It was a sentiment shared by other members of the James’ family, including Danielle’s grandmother, Toni James, in Minnesota.
“Now his family is going to realize a little bit what we’ve gone through not having a loved one on birthdays and holidays,” Toni James said in a telephone interview. “His decision has caused an awful lot of suffering for both families.
“He certainly was given every opportunity with his appeals and his trial and so forth to get his point across, but his attorney managed to keep him out of jail for some time. The fact is he murdered someone and now it’s time for him to pay for that mistake.”
While he’s away, Danielle wants Dooley to think “about how sorry he is that this happened because of him. If it wasn’t for him, this little girl wouldn’t be suffering. This family wouldn’t be suffering, and it’s all (his) fault that this happened.”
David James died during a confrontation with Dooley over a skateboarder on a basketball court.
Danielle and her dad — her protector and buddy — were paying basketball when Dooley began yelling at a 14-year-old skateboarder. “I remember (Dooley) actually did look kind of mean to me,” Danielle remembers. “I kind of knew something was going to happen when I saw him.”
David James — known as D.J. — jumped to the teen’s defense, asking Dooley where the sign was that said skateboards weren’t allowed.
“So my dad told me to step back a bit because he knew something bad was going to happen,” Danielle remembers. “This is where he said he was going to fight him. Dooley said I don’t want to fight. My dad was walking over there calmly. That’s when it broke down.”
