| Judge William J. Zloch |
Most impressive was what the judge said to the U.S. Attorney, according to the Miami Herald:
But the judge devoted the main part of his sentencing hearing to denouncing the plague of public corruption in South Florida, calling it a “cancer.”
Zloch even challenged why federal prosecutors joined with the former mayor’s defense attorneys in recommending the low end of a sentencing guideline for Maroño: 37-to 46-months.
“Would you agree that public corruption has become commonplace in our society?” the judge asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Dwyer.
“I would agree with that,” Dwyer said.
The judge added 3 months to the sentence approved by both sides.
Ronald Reagan appointee, you are my hero of the week for stating the truth that everyone else appears to be avoiding and getting a U.S. Attorney to say it too. It seemed as though the Judge thought the U.S. Attorney protecting us, was going too easy on the defendant. I agree. We should have got him to sing like a bird in exchange for no fines.

County and city officials, shiver, shudder, they're coming for you soon.
I applaud the Judge. I hope he gets the JULIO ROBAINA, BATEMAN and MICHAEL PIZZI case also.
Maybe by then we will see the current Mayor of Hialeah charged since he was also involved in the Ponzi scheme as well with robaina.
We hope he gets the case of Marc Sarnoff and his demand that the taxpayers provide him with a 24/7 certified policemen chauffeur using a City SUV.
Talking about corruption, when will the FBI sac distanced himself from Carlos Gimenez and actually investigate him and his family members. There's a good start to nab several with one stone
Take Lynda bell with him!
Job well done Judge Zloch. Next is Marono's best friend Jorge Forte, former chief of staff to Commissioner Bobo.
I, too applaud Judge Zloch. At last, a judge with guts who is not afraid to stand tall and tell it like it is. Hooray! Maybe there is hope at us at last to take these thugs off the streets and out of the public eye.
What galled me Is that 100 family members and supporters had the nerve to come to his defense. Is there no shame in Miami? Instead of running around Sweetwater making excuses for her son, his mother should be hiding hear head in shame and give up the Council seat her corrupted son stole for her.
That the prosecutors suggested the bottom of the sentencing guidelines is another thing I find galling. What is wrong with these people who call themselves prosecutors? I am sure it took law enforcement longer than 3 years to bring the case to trial status. If they really wanted to send a message they should have gone to the top of the sentencing guidelines and lock him up for 40 years.
It is appalling how these unqualified thugs can run for and win office with absolutely no relative background and/or public experience. Take a look at what we have sitting in authority around Miami on councils, commissions, committees and statutory boards. You will find hand-picked unqualified members occupying these seats. I looked and am in in shock at what I found. Homestead Housing Authority Board is a classic example. These boards make public policy and to appoint people from the bottom of the barrel with no qualification to sit in authority is a crime in itself. Appointing authorities ignore the law and appoint their friends, relatives, business partners and the like to these bodies...and they get away with it. Disgusting!
I hope that the FBI are continuing to look at Sweetwater’s former thug mayor’s connections with municipalities, especially the Homestead connection where a mayor changed the rules to steal business away from a local Homestead businessman and give it to Marono all the way in Sweetwater. This presents serious questions for the people of Homestead and I hope law enforcement will get to the bottom of it.
Judge William J. Zloch is my hero. Thank you sir!
Hopefully the Feds are investigating City Commish Marc Sarnoff and his "close ties" to the billboard industry. What's up?
Sarnoff is the dirtiest in town and he gets away with it all the time.
Maybe the FBI can investigate Sarnoff? The locals
are clueless.
Dan Ricker reports Ron Book is pissed off at Sarnoff for conning him.
