On our way to the courthouse, we notice perhaps we're not wearing the proper courthouse attire so we decide to stop off at Rasool's for a new suit...
We get back on the highway and then take the exit for NW 12th Avenue where we find Assistant State Attorney Bill Kostrzewski fidgiting with a sign at the intersection (photo courtesy of the Miami Herald)...
With the courthouse in sight, we now fight for parking...
After finally getting an adequate parking spot, we go on to make the biggest mistake of the trip, grabbing a hot dog from the friendly courthouse hot dog vendor...
This was a huge mistake and ended up causing us to cut our trip short. We then walk into the courthouse...
Go through the security checkpoint, get in the elevator and find ourselves on the ninth floor at the felony file room...
Once inside, we ask the somewhat less than friendly one eyed man of Asian descent for the Bernardo Barrera and Roger Besu case files. We're then instructed to go into a little locked room in order to view the files...
Now, judging by the size of the files, can you figure out which file represents over two million dollars worth of theft and which one is the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud file? Take another look...
The file on the right is the Roger Besu case file, interesting isn't it? Over two million dollars missing from Mr. Besu's trust account and that's all we get? For those of you following the Besu case, the most recent activity was Mr. Besu's attorney submitting his medical records to the court. Big deal. Now, the files on the left represent the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud case, imagine, that's only what the state wants us to see, who knows how much more paperwork they must be keeping from us? Within those files, we find these documents that must have somehow escaped the glance of the people over at the prosecutors office...
There you have Citi Mortgage documents that are the most damaging to the states case, right there in their own file. Did assistant state attorney Bill Kostrzewski even know these documents existed? Did he bother to look through them? We doubt it because if he would have, he would have noticed a single page in that group of documents that completely exonerates at least one of the defendants (we'll be discussing that document soon). It's at this point in our field trip that the damn hot dog we purchased from the hot dog stand in front of the courthouse started to rear it's ugly head. Needless to say, we had to cut our visit to the halls of justice short and haul ass to home base. Hopefully we'll be over the effects of that god forsaken hot dog in time for tomorrow...
