Peggy Ford, now 30, left, is seen here during one of her visits with her father, James Jimbo Ford, at Union Correctional Institution in North Florida, where he is on Death Row for the 1997 murders of Greg and Kimberly Malnory in rural Charlotte County. She was just 15 years old when the crimes took place.
It’s easier to think of Death Row inmates as evil monsters, not as fathers who once might have protected their children from imaginary monsters beneath their beds.
Peggy Ford knows Death Row inmate
No. 763722 as “Dad.” Most local residents know him as James “Jimbo” Ford, one of the cruelest, most violent men ever to call Southwest Florida home.
