My career began in 1982 when I was hired by then Miami-Dade State Attorney Janet Reno. I worked as an Assistant State Attorney for 15 years. I worked in the Economic Crimes Unit; the Organized Crime/Public Corruption Unit; Division Chief and Major Crimes. I served 10 years as the Chief of Gang Prosecutions (simultaneous to my position as a Division Chief, Homicide prosecutor and Organized Crime/Public Corruption Unit). I was also cross-des- ignated as a Special Assistant Statewide Prosecutor to lead the investigation and prosecution of the first racketeering case filed against an organized street gang in the State of Florida. I was elected to the bench in November of 1996 and began my judicial career on January 7, 1997. I served in the civil and criminal divi- sions and spent seven years as an Acting Circuit Court Judge where I presided over the specialized hearings involving only cases where the defendant faced either life in prison or the death penalty. I will be doing something that I want to do upon returning from Shanghai in mid- February. Stay tuned.” 1975 Class Agents: Ed Casal (emc.home@gmail.com ), John Fleeman (jbflee@gmail.com ) Antonio Ardila , visiting Miami from Colombia, stopped by Ransom Everglades in December and happened upon the groundbreaking for the STEM Center.
