ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A man accused of killing a caretaker in Winter Park appeared in court Friday.

Scott Nelson, 54, faces charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping with a weapon, burglary and carjacking, among other charges, in the September death of Jennifer Lynn Fulford, Winter Park police said. He has been jailed without bail since October.

Deputies said Fulford's body was dumped in west Orange County. At the time, Nelson had recently been released from prison after serving time for a bank robbery in Daytona Beach.

A court hearing was held at 1:30 p.m. to discuss what documents involving Fulford’s homicide will be kept confidential.

The public defender wants any statements related to Nelson’s confession sealed. That could include statements he made about any other possible crimes.

The judge made no decision about sealing the documents.

Nelson has made it clear in his letters that he is frustrated with his attorneys and wants to immediately go to trial.

Nelson said in court Friday that he would proceed with his defense team.

Nelson said he would release more information about those killings if he received more food in jail because he's starving.

"Your honor, I can't live under these conditions. I have to speak up to the court your honor, I can't. This jail has to feed me. They have given me today food that would fit in one hand," Nelson said.

Judge White said the court had no jurisdiction over the jail, but Nelson's attorneys would work on the issue.
