One has to wonder what kind of criminal justice courses they are teaching at the FBI Quantico Academy these days. We are also curious about how the U.S. Attorney's Office rates attorneys prior to hire them to prosecute cases. First, South Florida suffered the indignity of seeing a white collar career criminal such as former Mayor Julio Robaina and wife Raisa walk out of the courtroom after being found not guilty for tax evasion and loansharking. Now we are treated to a a new spectacle as Mayor Michael Pizzi pumps his fist outside the courthouse claiming innocence and daring to get his job back. Through the local papers we have learned about an insane scheme where Pizzi discarded his bribe money and was able to prove his "innocence". We also learned that poor investigative skills, i.e. not photocopying or photographing the bribe money, failing to check the bathroom where Pizzi counted the money or following Pizzi out of the Lakes Pool Hall to see if he spent the money, contributed to placing doubts in the mind of the jury. These errors were committed by supposedly seasoned FBI Public Corruption special agents. The case was prosecuted even though any AUSA should have seen its many faults. End result is we all have egg on the face and two rats are now proclaiming to be victims of the system. Advice to the local FBI office: hire ex cops who know what they are doing to work your cases not some attorney or accountant who suddenly decides to play with guns. Advice to the U.S. Attorney's Office: measure attorneys by their accomplishment and not their political connections. We have been embarrassed enough already!
