Mother to Harold Kraai
Jacqueline Weaver was the mother of Harold Kraai who was tragically shot to death in the family's front yard during an encounter with Jacksonville Police in 2018.

Kraai was a known to suffer from schizophrenia and had the mental capacity of young child. Local police were familiar with him, as he had been Baker Acted before. Weaver has sought justice ever since and remains adamant that the Officer should have been charged with murder.
