You may recall that Melba Pearson jumped into the race only when the media reported that Rundle did not indict a member of the corrupt Menocal family despite overwhelming evidence. The FBI had to step in and make the arrest of Jesse Menocal Jr.

At least Pearson doesn't tolerate drug trafficking, child raping cop families....unlike some local PD's. Ahem

NewTimes: "Let's discuss something else you've spoken about in the past: keeping elected officials and members of law enforcement accountable. The last time we spoke, you were texting us that you were appalled at the way the current State Attorney's Office handled the case of Jessie Menocal Jr. [a Hialeah police sergeant accused of sexually abusing or assaulting at least four women, including one girl who was 14 at the time. The Miami Herald reported that Rundle's office closed its case into Menocal in 2015 without interviewing three of the four alleged victims.] Can you talk about what changes might be needed to hold cops or elected officials more accountable?"

Pearson: "First, I want to repeat that I'm completely horrified about the way that case was handled. You have four victims. The one you've spoken to, you label her as a bipolar runaway and a gang member and therefore say she's not credible. Sure, maybe you didn't think one story was credible, but what happened to the other three victims? How come they were not able to come forward? You may have found them credible. If their stories were all consistent, that case should have been filed, end of story. I've prosecuted these types of cases. I don't know what the driver was — if it was some implicit bias or overwork — but that needs to be corrected."

Late last year, Rundle’s office was hit with another wave of criticism after the Miami Herald reported that her office didn’t bother to interview three of four alleged victims who said a Hialeah police officer, Sgt. Jessie Menocal Jr., had sexually assaulted them. One of them was 14 years old. Rundle’s office, claiming the victims’ stories would not hold up in court, closed the case. Menocal was allowed to continue patrolling the streets for years until the FBI arrested him over the same allegations in late 2019.

After that scandal broke, Pearson texted New Times to say she was appalled.

“I am horrified and disgusted at the fact that the voices of four victims were completely disregarded and that it took the FBI to try to bring some semblance of closure to these young women,” Pearson told New Times last year. “This is a clear failure of the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office. A change is desperately needed to ensure we finally have equal justice served in Miami-Dade.”

Agreed that she is an anti cop commie. If she is elected we can thank that POS Menocal for all the damage she will bestow upon us.
