Here’s a story about Russell Edgar who prosecuted the Newpoint charter school case. He was quoted as saying: “Charter schools in Florida are a real problem.” In this interview by Duwayne Escobido, he delayed his retirement to prosecute this case because he wanted to educate officials, lawmakers, and prosecutors on how to build a case against charters that break the law.
Edgars has had several high profile cases…remember the Black Widow? Also think back to the first case against a doctor over opiods.
You may find this interview very interesting and reassuring that there are people who care very much about the public interest. Read the article here.
