State Attorney Angela Corey fires IT director who raised concerns in Trayvon Martin case

State Attorney Angela Corey fired her office’s information technology director Friday after he testified last month about being concerned prosecutors did not turn over information to George Zimmerman’s defense team in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

On the same day attorneys finished their closing arguments in that nationally watched trial, a state attorney investigator went to Ben Kruidbos’ home about 7:30 a.m. to hand-deliver a letter stating Kruidbos “can never again be trusted to step foot in this office.”

The letter contended Kruibos did a poor job overseeing the information technology department, violated public records law for retaining documents, and noted he was questioned in March when the office was trying to determine who had leaked personnel information obtained through a computer breach.

In an interview Friday, Kruidbos denied the allegations in the letter, which was written by Cheryl Peek, the managing director of the State Attorney’s Office.

He said he had acted in good faith about “genuine concerns.” He said he had been proud to work at the State Attorney’s Office and feared the letter would cripple his chances at finding another job to support his family, including a 4-month-old son.

“I don’t have any regrets,” he said, “but I am terrified about the future and what that will end up being.”(continued)

Looks like destroying Zimmerman was not enough; they’re going to go after anybody who dared expose their efforts to do so.

Looks like Angela Corey wants to be a defendant in a wrongful termination lawsuit.

I would take a guess his work performance reviews do not match his “poor performance” the letter cited.

This Kruidbos guy needs to keep his mouth shut for now and retain the best lawyer specializing in whistleblower cases he can possibly find/afford.

Corey should be tried and convicted for violating Zimmerman’s rights and then imprisoned.

Sue the Bastards for firing him in retaliation for telling the truth.Can they even legally terminate him without giving him a chance to defend himself? The State Attorneys office in Florida seems to have a very big stink emanating from within it.

Whoa... talk about obstruction of Justice...

Retaliation, plain and simple.

Maybe she heard the Jury was leaning not guilty?

Retaliation against a whistleblower.

Hopefully the FL legislature has some recourse.

Wow
Just imagine if this country had a news media...

I’ll bet people would be amazed at the unbridled Marxist corruption we endure every day, and maybe even object at some level.

How did you like this little nugget:

"That investigation followed news reports in February that Corey approved using about $342,000 in taxpayer dollars to upgrade pensions for herself and de la Rionda. Kruidbos said the investigation might have stemmed from the stories about the pensions."

The corruption runs deep with Angela Corey.

Unless he has a contract, Fla is a “At Will”( I think) state and you can terminated without cause.
That said seems she sighted the cause as be being a whistle blower ....
