Judicial Commission Rules Miami Judge Ana Maria Pando Violated The Judicial Cannons

Ana Maria Pando

This is a follow up to the February 23, 2012 article "Judge Ana Maria Pando Is Another Miami Judge Being Called Corrupt." The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission has ruled that Judge Ana Maria Pando violated the judicial cannons by, "'Lending the prestige of judicial office' to a friend who is the owner of several medical clinics that had appeared regularly before her." Previously, in a separate 2005 incident, Pando was fined $25,000 for accepting what was in essence bribes via "improper campaign donations."

I'm not surprised by this story. It has been my experience, as a victim of crime, both the justice and judicial systems do not work, due to corruption. It is undeniable at this point, as it has happened too many times.

Look what happened to 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. That could have been any black person. Martin was minding his own business, but was stalked, shot and killed. The authorities completely covered it up and incriminatingly refused for how long to release the 911 tapes. They continue to refuse to arrest his murderer George Zimmerman.

People have to be starting petitions and protests to bring attention to the terrible injustice of it all...and still no arrest. The public will never forget that, as Zimmerman should have been arrested weeks ago. The justice system has failed in that he has been free all this time and after the murder of a minor.

I can't say the corruption problem is relegated to Florida, as I've seen corruption come out of Atlanta, Georgia (Appeals Circuit) and Washington, D.C. (Supreme Court) as well, in addition to many cases all over the country I have covered for the website, which will be apart of my forthcoming book and indie film that I will start shooting this year (I don't need to go through Hollywood to get it done, released and out to a big audience).

Obama Turns His Attention To Rick Santorum Who Has Been Ripping Him

U.S. Election Heats Up Again

Barack Obama

Reuters has confirmed today that President Barack Obama's administration has turned its attention to Republican rival, Rick Santorum, who has been publicly coming after him like gangbusters. Santorum has ripped Obama on everything - such as his costly health care program, trying to force people of the faith to pay for abortions, high unemployment, the soaring national deficit and the president's policies that have made things more difficult for Christians in America.

Rick Santorum

Thus far, Obama really has not been able to knock out Santorum or Romney and Ron Paul's campaign donations and presidential push are gaining steam. As it stands, polls still retain the view that any Republican could beat Obama in this year's presidential election, as he has made choices in office that did not turn out well and it a very noticeable way.

Mitt Romney

He has added $5 trillion to the deficit, when the Judiciary Report begged him from the very beginning of his presidency to cut costs, not add to them. The site also reasoned with him for his entire presidency thus far, not to engage in wasteful spending such as solar initiative and other experimental programs that later failed. It is the equivalent of an injured person, who is bleeding in a life threatening manner, stating they need to bleed more, rather than stem the hemorrhage and let the serious wound heal. America is bleeding money at a terrible rate and will not recover its financial health in this manner. There is no cash transfusion that can fix this, as it will come at a price. Staunch the bleeding, already.

Obama's Announced Donations Reveal He Is Falling Short Of Campaign's Financial Goals

Barack Obama

Last year, U.S. President Barack Obama, announced via his reps, the goal of raising $1 billion dollars in campaign donations. However, one year on, Obama has raised $75,953,128.29, under 1/10th of his goal. Gallup polls indicate President Obama is trailing behind rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, in his reelection bid for the White House.

The ongoing financial crisis that has worsened, is certainly impacting campaign donations, as people simply do not have the disposable income they once did. The race for the White House should not depend on money, but be based on who can do the most for the country.

Judge Ana Maria Pando Is Another Miami Judge Being Called Corrupt (Video)

County Court Judge Ana Maria Pando is on the hot seat and being asked to recuse herself from a number of cases, due to misconduct and financial conflict of interest. She accepted large campaign donations from Florida Wellness & Rehabilitation and shortly after Judge Pando took extraordinary steps for the company in court, giving the appearance of corruption and bribery from the bench.

According to detailed reports, Judge Pando has refused to recuse herself from other similar cases with a conflict of interest present, infuriating litigants and their lawyers, who filed motions regarding her behavior. In 2005, Pando was publicly censured by the government, in a televised hearing, for violating the Judicial Code of Conduct. However, she was allowed to continue as a judge, but more allegations of misconduct have surfaced, as reported by Channel 7 this month, in a telecast viewed by many in South Florida.

Regrettably there are corrupt judges in the judiciary and they are doing an extraordinary amount of damage to the nation. Some are on a local level others are in the federal division and nationwide. All it takes is the right campaign donation or stock transfer and they will rule corruptly. There are even known cases, where presidents such as George W. Bush and Barack Obama have corruptly directed judges to rule in favor of their lawbreaking campaign donors and friends, on a federal level and all the way up to the Supreme Court. It is inappropriate, unethical and unconstitutional when one branch of the government decides to corruptly take over another.

Carmel on the Case: Judge

Posted: 02/07/12 - The behavior of a South Florida judge is being questioned tonight. Investigative reporter Carmel Cafiero has this exclusive...County Court Judge Ana Maria Pando handles civil cases in her Hialeah courtroom. But now she is being asked to step down to rescue herself from some of those cases. So far, five attorneys have filed 16 motions charging Judge Pando violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, "As she lent the prestige of her judicial office to advance the private interests of Florida Wellness & Rehabilitation Center Inc."

Carmel Cafiero: "Florida Wellness has had a number of cases before Judge Pando. Late last year the company told the State the corporation was dissolving. That was apparently a mistake." An accountant for Florida Wellness accidentally sent the state paperwork the company was closing. Using her judicial stationary, Judge Pando wrote the state to help get the company's operating status returned. State records show the company was then reactivated by "court order."...

Bob Jarvis, Nova Southeastern University: "There's no reason why a judge should be writing on behalf of anybody to begin with, certainly not on her official stationary. But if this is a party that is regularly in her court, or that has even been in her court, I mean that just makes the appearance of impropriety even greater and really makes it inappropriate even more so for a judge to have done what she did."

Judge Pando is up for reelection but has no opposition. So far she has raised close to $70,000. Among the contributors- $2,000 from four Florida Wellness & Rehabilitation Centers, reported the month after the letter was sent. The judge turned down our request for an interview...
