Judge drops perjury charge for former Broward superintendent Dr. Robert Runcie

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:45:20 GMT

The case is closed against a former Broward School’s superintendent. Dr. Robert Runcie was facing one criminal count of perjury after he was accused of lying to a grand jury. A judge Tuesday dismissed those charges against Runcie. Runcie was arrested in April of 2021 after a grand jury that was investigating operations of the school district at the time, claimed that he wasn’t truthful in preparing his testimony. Shortly after Runcie turned himself in and posted bond, he agreed to a separation agreement with the district. That agreement took effect in the summer of 2021. Runcie’s attorneys argued that the grand jury was out of scope with his indictment and said that that was not what they were there to do; they were not there to look into the superintendent. The judge agreed with his attorneys and wrote the following statement that reads, “…it is ordered and judged that the defendant’s second motion to dismiss indictment is granted. The state has ...

Money earmarked for thousands of new IRS employees would be transferred to a grant program allowing schools nationwide to hire armed law enforcement personnel under legislation outlined Tuesday by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida.The School Guardian Act would take about $80 billion that Congress previously approved to expand the tax agency and spend it instead on efforts to deter and respond to school shootings such as the 2018 massacre in Parkland, Florida in which 17 people were killed. Parents of those victims said they support Scott’s bill.“If we can’t prevent them, then we know having an armed response on campus is the fastest way to stop these attacks,” said Ryan Petty, a state Board of Education member whose 14-year-old daughter, Alaina, died in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. “This bill is incredibly important.”The measure is modeled after legislation then-governor Scott signed into law in Florida after the Parkland shooting ...

Lowry, Martin more than asterisks for Heat on Butler’s dominant night

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:45:20 GMT

For as much as Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler accomplished in capping his 56-point night with 21 fourth-quarter points in Monday’s 119-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, he at least was afforded a breather in that decisive final period.Kyle Lowry wasn’t. He played all 12 minutes.Caleb Martin barely was, going all but five seconds in the period.Even Duncan Robinson and Bam Adebayo played more in the fourth than Butler’s 8:11.The point being that even as Butler led, there was a support system that also had the confidence of coach Erik Spoelstra.“They had their fingerprints all over that fourth quarter,” Spoelstra said of Butler’s closing cast, as the Heat now take their 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff series into Fiserv Forum for Wednesday night’s Game 5.By the numbers, Lowry’s fourth quarter was mundane, with four points, three rebounds and two assists. But his defensive feistiness proved game changing.̶...
