Public Records are being destroyed/hidden from the public at Homestead Police Department? By Geniusodespair


This is the testimony from Ednamarie Hernandez in Deegan’s termination case. It’s the “mini” transcript, meaning 4 transcribed pages reduced to fit on one page. It is still close to 50 pages, equating to nearly 200 pages of actual testimony.  Her testimony starts at the bottom of page 75 of the transcripts (the first page of the attachment).  Read it. If she is telling the truth, this is a very disturbing document.

Mayor and Council, its real easy hire an outside Chief and let him or her run the department as they see fit.

Mayor and Council please restore this once great department which has so terribly fallen in the eyes of the community and law enforcement circles

The attorney for the city has already found the scapegoat. Blame the secretary, she must have been at fault.

No one above her should be held accountable!!

I just finished reading the entire transcript. I am nauseated to say the least. Is there no justice? This is the second Hialeah with all these cover ups. This should be immediate decertification for all officers involved and all crimes prosecuted with these animals who falsified documents should have their cases reviewed. Where is Fernandez rundle again? WHERE ARE YOU KFR?

It is time for outside change in Homestead PD bring in someone from the outside who has no ties to anyone and let him and the Major reconstruct this PD

"Scapegoat"? I don't see a scapegoat at all. I see a secretary that was really good at sticking to her coached and half truth story. I find it odd that she was the one that did all the research for the task, did the destruction, created the logs but now wants to throw her hands up and say Not Me!!! I'm sure there's more to this story than meets the eye. Just the point that it was part of a hearing with Lizanne Deegan who was arrested for covering up the beatings of innocent citizens by other officers while working. Check the court records...the other officers involved took a plea for the crimes and she had to pay money to a victims group.

I think chef. Rolle and capt. Kent should be arrested and spend some time in jail.. also should have their retirement taken from them. They both give the meaning of police officer a bad name!!!!!

I can't not believe what I just read in this deposition who was in charge of this secretary? How could this have been done without the Chief's knowledge? Did he not think it was funny that he was asked to back date a form that was 17 months later? This is outrageous!!!

What does one have to do with the other? Doesn't the City of Homestead have a Records Custodian? A secretary can destroy loads of records without supervision?
Are you kidding??

Ladies and gentleman........

Kathy Rundle has it now and is now actively looking at this, sooner rather then later there should be an arrest by FDLE in conjunction with the Miami Dade State attorneys office, just wait and see it all happen before your eyes more then likely as soon as the end of this month.......
Unfortunately there may be only one arrest for the time being, although the Fact finder is being looked into as well and might be next, however we may be in for a treat and see two arrest.

Then maybe then Homestead will bring back it's reputation!!!!!!!!

Good luck to all and be safe!

What motive would the secretary have to concoct this whole thing? Sounds like to me that she smelled a rat and did the right thing. She must have been scared to death to stand up against such high ranking officials. Good for her!
It would be interesting to read the testimony from the persons in charge of this internal affairs department to hear the reasoning/explanation for this. Im sure the City must have called upon them as a rebuttal witness to the secretary's testimony. Well regardless their reasons it is still illegal activity . It would just be interesting to hear their reasoning. And the poor guy they fired for doing the right thing, that just sucks!!!!!!!!

Why have the Chief and the Captain not been relieved of duty pending the results of the investigation? Epic failure at the highest management levels!!!

Great job Geniusofdespair in airing this corruption but please dont stop their, all this is just an extension of the systematic problem this county and this state faces with the political influence on many of these police departments. We thank those bloggers who have helped air the continued incidents from Key West PD, Homestead PD, Miami Gardens, Sweetwater, and Last but not least Miami Dade Police Department. What you have uncovered is just an ongoing problem which for years have placed, fired, and promoted individuals who chose a political or unethical agenda over their Oath to office. Just look at the VA situation especially in Miami, the person at the Head, now his past is a problem. Well this is happening everywhere, just the newest appointment to the County Ethics board, another example of keeping the citizens eyes shut and the Heralds under handed tactics in the game. Don't just stop here or at Lynda Bell's position continue and be a voice for those who don't have that opportunity.

Dont let a Face Book page deter you from doing the job you know is right.

All we can say is we wouldn't want to be in any position where a decision is being made based on her lies. She lies to manipulate her husband and children.

She refused to answer questions pleading the fifth. At least 5 times she pled the fifth. No one else did.
She names all these other people that are involved. None of them pled the fifth. She did. No one else did the research. She did. She did the work. Then pled the fifth.
She is a liar. Plain and simple. She is mud hole dirty. And be careful..if you believe what she has to say everyone needs to stay clear of Lizanne Deegan. She told people Deegan is a crazy bipolar alcoholic that would have no problem driving drunk and try to hurt someone. And Bobby Rea was committing insurance fraud. Who's being manipulated now?
