AND WE‘RE WORKING TO GET MORE WE‘LL POST THEM FOR CLICKORLANDO.COM
>> IT‘S NOW TIME FOR THE WEEKLY
WITH JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> GOOD EVENING.
I‘M JUSTIN WARMONTH POTING?
AND THEN IS THE PRESIDENTIAL
RACE AND THE NEARLY 2 DOZEN
DEMOCRACY THEN RACES IN THE
LOCAL LEVEL ARE HEATING UP AS
WELL.
THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL WHO AX NOUNEDED SHE
WOULD ALL PERFORM AND THEN SHE
TALKS ABOUT WHY THESE THE
PERSON IT BELIEVE CAUSE.
>> THANKINGER YOU SAW MUCH FOR
JOINING US.
>> IT‘S A PLEASURE.
>> LET‘S GO OVER WHY ARE RUNING
TO OSCEOLA COUNTY.
>> CENTRAL FLORIDA IS MY HEME
AND A GRADUATE OF DR. BILLIPS
LIKE AND THEN THEN IT‘S GOING
INTO LAW SCHOOL.
WHILE I WAS IN LASCHOOL COMEAT
THE STATE ATTORNEY‘S OFFICE AND
PARTNERSHIP AF HAF MY INTAKE IS
I GRT TO DRO THFAND.
AND SO AFTER I GRADUATE THED
FROM UF I APPLIED EARLY TO THE
STATE ATTORNEY‘S OFFICE AND I
GOT THE JOB AND I‘VE BEEN WELL
EVER AND THEN IN THAT PAST 16
YEARS I‘VE DPN PRETTY MUCH
EVERY POSITION AT THE ESTATE
EARN‘S OF THES.
WE HAVE DUIS UP TO THE DEATH
PENALTY CASE AND I ALSO HAD THE
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN
MANAGEMENT POSITIONS FOR THE
PAST 16 YEARS UNDER 3 DIFFERENT
STATE ATTORNEYS.
STARTING WITH STATE THAERN OF
THE ISAN LAMAR.
I OF THES HE FINISHES TWRURS AM
AND THENER I LOVE THAT POSITION
AND IT WAS 2 INTEREST INTO
MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISING AND
FROM THERE WHENAND THEN SOME
MANAGEMENT SPOT.
AND THEN ACCIDENT BEING, WHENS
AND THEN IT‘S HER CHEESE VAL
STATE ATTORNEY‘S OFFICE.
>> AFTER 16 YEARS WAS SUFT THIS
IS TIME DOLL DO IT IT IS READY
RIGHT NOW? WHAT WENT INTO THAT
DECISION.
>> I BEING THINK YOU HAVE TO
HAVE SELF AWARENESS TO BE A
GOOD LEADER AND FOR ME I DON‘T
THINK I WAS READY UP UNTIL THIS
POINT.
MY EXPERIENCE AS A TRIAL
ATTORNEY AND ALSO AS A MANAGER
AND ABSORBING EVERYTHING GOING
AROUND ME.
WE HAD PROBABLY 3 STATE
ATTORNEYS, LEGISLATIVE
ATTORNEYS, WHO IF YOU COULD
HAVE 3 POLAR OPPOSITES, WE‘VE
HAD 3 POLAR OPPOSITES AND THEY
ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION OF
WHAT THE ROLE OF THE STAIFT
ATTORNEY IS AND SO I‘VE BEEN
VERY FEINTER TO HAVE A FRONT
ROW SEAT AND BE PART OF THE
MANAGEMENT MEETINGS AND HAVE
THE EXPERIENCE TO SEE WHAT
WORKS AND DOESN‘T WORK AND I
THINK WE LEARN MORE FROM
MISTAKES THAN SUCCESS AND AT
THIS POINT IN MY LIFE I FEEL
LIKE ON THE TRIAL SXEND
DAY-TO-DAY PROSECUTORS AND I
PERSONALLY CONVICTED 43 SEX
OFFENDERS AT TRIAL AND I FEEL
VERY CONFIDENT GOING IN THE
COURTROOM AND ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THINGS I FEEL MORE
CONFIDENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT
STRUCTURE AND WHAT I‘VE LEARNED
AND WHAT AYE SEEN.
I‘M READY TO BE THE ONE I PUT
TOGETHER AND MIHONE.
>> YOU‘RE TALKING ABOUT THE
DIFFERENT DYNAMIC AND JUST
STYLES OF HE WOULDING POSITION.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HOW
DUAND THEN HOW YOU WOULD TREAT
AND SEARCH PEOPLE OF RFRNL
OSYOTIOLA APPROACH.
>> SFTLY.
AND THEN AUTOWITH THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE PARTNERS.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND
EXPERIENCED IS IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO GET THINGS DONE, IT
REALLY DOES TAKE EVERY PARTNER
IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
SO ONE OF MY MAIN KIND OF GOALS
IS TO REALLY BRING IT OUT
TOGETHER AND AT COMMUNITY
PUBLIC 67ERS AND I ALWAYS
STRIKE UP A CONVERSATION AND
FUT ALL AND TO MAKE SENSE AND
ULTIMATELY I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE
THE SAME GEL AND THAT IS TO DO
JUSTICE AND TO MAKE IT LASTING,
YOU HAVE TO GET A BUY IN FROM
EVERYBODY.
I ELSE AND THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE
THE MOST AND THEN REMEMBER
YOURS MAY BE UNBIASED.
THERE IS NO GREATER JOB AS AN
ATTORNEY THAN TO BE A
PROSECUTOR BECAUSE YOU DEAL
WITH PEOPLE‘S FREEDOM AND AE
AND THEN IT‘S NOT SOMETHING YOU
GET WRONG.
YOU GET IT RIGHTMENT TO SELECT
ANDEB PEOPLE WHOM AND.
YOU WERE THERE FOR RFRNL AND
ROT OT TWROEFLAND THEN WE‘RE
SURVEYING AS A PUB REARE.
AND IT‘S TO REPRESENTATIVE TO
THE CITIZENS TO NOT BE THERE
FOR THOSE THAT COULD HAVEASKAD
AS WE.
AND ON THE FLIP SIDE SOMEONE
ACCUSED OF A CRIME NOW NEED TO
FEEL SAFE AND LIKE THEY‘RE YOU
KNOW WHAT?
I‘VE BEEN DID THANKSGIVING?
EMHIEMAAMSAND THEN WE‘LL FIGURE
THIS SXOUT THAT IS TWEKLY
PERSONAL OTHER THAN.
>> THE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS ROLE,
PUTES AND THEN WHAT WOULD
OPERATE YOUR YARD OFF PIPER?
THEN YOU CAN SEE MASEPARATES
FROM THEM.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF
THINGMENTER AND IT FOR THE DOES
ITER STAAND THEREOFIT‘S WITHIN
OFFICE TO UNDERSTAND WILL HAD
THEAND THEN THE LOOK AT PEOPLE
WHO ARE INJURED THAT OFFICE
KNOW I HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
AND CANNOT ASSESS THEIR SKILL
SET.
WHEN YOU‘RE GOING A AND THEN
WHAT THE PLAYERS ARE OF THE
SKIMAND THEN YOU HAVE FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND FWAEN 16 YEARS,
PROSECUTINGS.
I‘VE GREN UP FROM LEFT AS WELL.
YOU HAVE BE.
I KNOW THE PEOPLE FROM THE
OFFICE AND I RESPECT THE PEOPLE
IN THAT OFFICE.
I KNOW WHAT WORK WORM AND THEN
I KNOW WE‘VE HAD THE INSIDE
TRACK AND PHOTOCOPIER AND THEN
THEY VILLAIN BEEN FOR.
AND IN MY ROLE I‘VE DONE THE
HIRING.
I, I V THIS IS IN THE THINK
LLJAND THEN WE‘RE TRYING TO
BUILD THE BEST OFFICE IN THE
STATE OF FLORIDA AND IN ORDER
TO DO THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE
CONSISTENCY AND TIME TO BUILD
SOMETHING GREAT.
>> METEOROLOGIST: COMING UP
SHE‘LL DISCUSS HER RELATIONSHIP
WITH WEAPON. CAND
>> ANCHOR: WELCOME BACK. WHEN THE STATE ATTORNEY ANNOUNCED HER OFFICE WOULD NOT
PROSECUTE THE DEATH PENALTY
CASES.
SEVERAL ATTORNEYS IN THE 9TH
CIRCUIT LEFT INCLUDING RYAN
WILLIAMS.
NOW AYALA IS NOT SEEKING
RE-ELECTION AND WILLIAMS IS
RUNNING FOR HER POSITION, BUT
SO IS AIOLA‘S SECOND IN CHAND.
BEARA IS BACK TO AND THEN WE
SPOKE ON WHY SHE CHOSE NOT TO
LEAVE.
>> RYAN WILLIAMS, A FORMER
CO-WORKER.
HE LEFT A BIT AFTER AFTER THE
SATE CAME OUT AND SAID THEY
WON‘T PROSECUTE DEATH PENALTY
CASES.
>>> YOU STAYED.
WHY DID YOU SAY?
>> I DISAGREED WITH THAT
DECISION.
AND THIS IS NO WAY
DISRESPECTFUL FOR THE STATE
ATTORNEY.
WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BACK
THEN.
YOU KNOW, I WAS VERY WORRIED
ABOUT A BLANKET POLICY ON THAT
AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT
POTENTIALLY LOSING FUNDING AND
WHAT THIS WOULD DO MOVING
FORWARD AND SPECIFICALLY PA
AFAND THEN THAT WAS
RECENTLIALLY IN MY CASE.
I MAY TAKE IT TO GRAND JURY AND
RECEIVED INDICTMENT FROM THE
GRAND JORORS AND MOVING FORWARD
WITH THE CASE.
OBVIOUSLY THE STATE ATTORNEY
AWE IS DIFFERENTLY? I SERVED
AT THE PLEASURE OF THE STATE
ATTORNEY.
THE GREAT THING IS THAT I CAN
EXPRESS MY OPINIONS TO SXHER WE
HAVE EEP DEBATE AND WE DP DID
BAIT THAT.
IT WAS HER DECISION TO MAKE AND
SHE MADE IT.
IT IS MORE CRITICAL TO STAND UP
AND TO BE THERE BECAUSE IT WAS
A DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE OFFICE.
AND IN MY OPINION, THAT‘S WHEN
YOU NEED WHAT MATTERS THE MOST
AND, YES, THAT WAS A DECISION
THAT WAS MADE AND, YES, IT DID
AFFECT THE OFFICE AND IT
AFFECTED RELATIONSHIPS.
BUT QUITE HAPPENESTLY IT
SHOULDN‘T HAVE.
IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, THE
OFFICE OF THE STATE ATTORNEY
AND OUR JBS, WE‘RE ALL BARRED
ATTORNEYS AND IT IS OUR
REPUTATION.
WE GO INTEREST COURT EVERY YEAR
AND DO JUSTICE AND DEATH
PENALTY CASES ARE THE TINY
PERCENTAGE OF THE WORK WE DO
AND IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN
TIMES LIKE THAT TO KEEP THINGS
MOVING AND TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE
HAVE THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED
TO GET IN THERE AND DO JUSTICE
FOR ALL OF THE OTHER VICTIMS IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA.
AND THAT, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO NEED US AND THAT‘S
THE TIME IN MY OPINION, YOU
STAND UP AND YOU STAY.
>> ANCHOR: YOU ARE IN FULL
SUPPORT OF MISS AYALA.
AND YOU HAVE HER ENDORSEMENT.
>> YES.
>> AND IS THERE SOMETHING THAT
THEY DENT LIKE THE WAY SHE‘S
HANDLED THINGS AND THEN THEY
JUDGE YOU?
I WOULD ASSUME PEOPLE WOULD
BLANKET THAT ACROSS THE BOARD
AND SAY NO, SHE WORKED FOR HER
AND I WON‘T GO IN THAT
DIRECTION.
I‘LL GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
>> I THINK WHAT IS IMPORTANT
FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW IS I SERVED
10 YEARS UNDER LAMAR.
I SERVED 4 YEARS UNDER JEFF
ASHTON AND NOW IN THE PROCESS
OF SERVE BEING 3 YEARS UNDER
MISS AYALA.
I AM MY OWN PERSON.
I MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS AND
LEARNED FROM EVERYONE AND I
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT I, I HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT
OF LAMAR AND HE PUBLICLY CAME
OUT.
I ALSO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT OF
MISS AYALA.
IF YOU‘RE LOOKING AT IT, REALLY
THE ONLY 2 THINGS OR THE ONLY
THING THE 2 INDIVIDUALS HAVE
WHY COMMON WHEN IT COMES TO
THEIR VIEW OF WHAT THE POSITION
OF THE STATE ATTORNEY IS IS ME.
THEY BOTH SEE IN ME THAT I‘M A
LEADER AND I SHOULD BE IN
MANAGEMENT AND I SHOULD BE
SUPERVISING ATTORNEYS AND THEY
HAVE VERY DIFFERENT POSITIONOS
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IF IF YOU
THROW IN JEFF ASHTON, HE ALSO
MAD ME A MANAGER SO IT REALLY
ISN‘T, I DON‘T THINK IT‘S FAIR
TO SAY THAT I AM, YOU KNOW, I
REPRESENT HER BECAUSE I DON‘T.
I DON‘T REPRESENT JEFF ASHTON
AND I DON‘T REPRESENT LAMAR.
I REPRESENT DEBRA BARA.
>> YOU‘RE IN CHARGE OF
REVIEWING ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT
SHOOTINGS.
IN FEBRUARY THE POLICE UNIONS
ENDORSED RYAN WILLIAMS.
NOW YOU AREN‘T -UE DIDN‘T FILE
YET.
>> CORRECT.
>> I DON‘T KNOW HOW THEY FEEL
NOW, BUT TO GAIN, TO GET THAT
TRUST AND SOME PEOPLE MIGHT GO
OFF JUST THE POLICE UNIONOS WHO
THEY‘LL VOTE FOR AND WHETHER IN
LAW ENFORCEMENT OR NOT, WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT CAN COMMUNITY ABOUT
YOU AS A CANDIDATE AND HOW YOU
FEEL ABOUT JUST LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN GENERAL IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.
>> SURE.
I SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
IF THERE IS EVER A SITUATION IN
WHICH I FELT THREATENED OR THAT
SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING?
I CALL 911.
AND I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE IF
LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOWS UP AND
HANDLES IT AND I‘M SURE
EVERYONE FEELS THAT WAY.
I DON‘T THINK SOMEONE SAYING,
WELL, I DON‘T SUPPORT LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
TO ME THAT DOESN‘T MAKE ANY
SENSE.
I THINK IN ESSENCE WE ALL DO,
BUT WE ALL SUPPORT THE RIGHT
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WE SUPPORT
GOOD POLICING AND THE MAJOR OF
IT IS GOOD POLICING AND LIKE
ANY PROFESSION IF YOU TAKE
PEOPLE IN THAT PROFESSION,
YOU‘LL HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE A
PROBLEM AND YOU CAN LOOK AT IT
FROM ANYTHING.
YOU CAN LOOK AT PRIESTS.
PRESIDENTS, ANY PROFESSION OUT
THERE.
>> NEWS ANCHORS.
YOU CAN.
YES.
I KNOW.
>> ANCHOR: AND SO, YOU KNOW,
MOVING FORWARD, IT IS NOT ABOUT
PRO-LAW ENFORCEMENT OR AGAINST
LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT‘S ABOUT
PRO-LAW AND IF YOU ARE A POLICE
OFFICER AND YOU BREAK THE LAW,
WE WILL PROSECUTE YOU.
JUST LIKE IF YOU‘RE A
POLITICIAN AND BREAK THE LAW,
WE WILL PROSECUTE YOU AND WE
HAVE BECAUSE WE BROKE THE LAW.
NOT BECAUSE TLAIRPOLICE
OFFICERS AND IT GOES ACROSS THE
BOARD FOR EVERYONE AND SO WHAT
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT IS IT IS QUITE
HONESTLY I‘VE BEEN A PROSECUTOR
FOR 16 YEARS AND EDUCATED TO
ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY AND
WORKED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR
16 YEARS.
I SUPPORT THE EFFORT.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT VERY
CLEAR THAT THIS ISN‘T GOING IN
BLIND.
YOU KNOW?
IF THERE IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER WHO COMMITS A CRIME,
THEY‘RE GOING TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE AND I HOPE REST OF
THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS THAT.
>> ANCHOR: ONE MORE THING AS WE
WRAP THIS UP.
WHAT WOULD CENTRAL FLORIDA
VOTERS AND SXRFRNL OSCEOLA
VOTERS.
WOULD THEY SEE CHANGE?
REAL VISUAL CHANGE WHEN COMES
TO THE STATE ATTORNEY‘S OFFICE
IF YOU ARE ELECTED AND WHAT IS
YOUR FINAL MESSAGE TO THE
VOTERS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA.
>> I THINK YOU WILL SEE THE
ABSOLUTE BEST STATE ATTORNEYS
OFFICE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
THAT I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE
THAT MY PROSECUTORS ARE WELL
TRAINED.
THAT IF A CITIZEN OF CENTRAL
FLORIDA, UNFOREIGNLY THEY GET
IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE
THEY‘RE A VICTIM OF THE CRIME
AND PROSECUTORS WILL BE THERE
FOR THEM AND NO DOUBT THEY‘RE
GETTING GREAT REPRESENTATION IN
TERMS OF MOVING FORWARD WITH
THE CASE.
I THINK THE COMMUNITY IS GOING
TO SEE WE‘RE VERY TRANSPARENT
AND ANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED.
WE‘LL ASK THEM.
I AM FOR ANSWERING THE WHY.
AND I THINK THAT THINGS GET
LOST AND IF YOU DENT EXPLAIN IT
AND YOU JUST JUMP TO THE END,
PEOPLE SEAT END AND THEN IT‘S
NOT THEIR FAULT.
BUT LEADING UP TO THAT IS A
WHOLE SERIES OF DECISIONS MADE
BASED ON FACT AND BASED ON WHAT
IS REALITY AND GOING ON AND SO
FOR ME UNDER MY ADMINISTRATION,
I WILL BE TALKING A LOT?
EXPLAINING.
AND THEN IT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
AND I THINK COMMUNICATION IS
THE KEY AND NOT ONLY AMONG THE
VICTIMS BUT IT IS WITH THE
PARTNERS AND MAKING SURE THAT
WE CAN ACHIEVE JUSTICE.
>> AND MY THANKS TO DEBRA FOR
