Jacksonville FL - State Attorney Angela Corey fired her offices information technology director Friday after he testified last month about being concerned prosecutors did not turn over information to George Zimmermans 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 Attorneys Office.
He said he had acted in good faith about genuine concerns. He said he had been proud to work at the State Attorneys Office and feared the letter would cripple his chances at finding another job to support his family, including a 4-month-old son.
I dont have any regrets, he said, but I am terrified about the future and what that will end up being.
His attorney Wesley White who resigned from the State Attorneys Office in December and is a critic of Corey said the firing was aimed at sending a message to office employees that if they feel like there is wrongdoing, they should not disclose it or seek legal guidance from a private attorney.
If they do speak to an attorney, then they are dead, he said. The State Attorneys Office will do whatever is necessary to not only terminate them, but destroy their reputations in the process.
State Attorney spokeswoman Jackelyn Barnard did not return phone calls or emails for comment.
Kruidbos, 42, had been on paid administrative leave since May 28 from his $80,892 job.

No...they have an upside down truth. They think the lie is real and must be put forth in order to meet their goals...goals that the darkness in their minds makes them think are worthy. In other words, the easily brainwashed are the ones that are screwing up our society. And the overtly evil ones like Soros.
Bump
I don't know the characters but my wife used both of those names last night!
Evil, believe me, they are evil.
Who knows? I guess she thought arrogance and greed were good. Hope she gets a prison term.
She really dolled herself up for her big moment on tv last night.
Massive fail.
It is sad.
Corey also has a history of charging CHILDREN per se as adults.
Title XXXI: LABOR
Chapter 448: GENERAL LABOR REGULATIONS
448.102 Prohibitions.An employer may not take any retaliatory personnel action against an employee because the employee has:
(1) Disclosed, or threatened to disclose, to any appropriate governmental agency, under oath, in writing, an activity, policy, or practice of the employer that is in violation of a law, rule, or regulation. However, this subsection does not apply unless the employee has, in writing, brought the activity, policy, or practice to the attention of a supervisor or the employer and has afforded the employer a reasonable opportunity to correct the activity, policy, or practice.
(2) Provided information to, or testified before, any appropriate governmental agency, person, or entity conducting an investigation, hearing, or inquiry into an alleged violation of a law, rule, or regulation by the employer.
(3) Objected to, or refused to participate in, any activity, policy, or practice of the employer which is in violation of a law, rule, or regulation.
LOL
Yes, I mentioned that in an early note.
I hate to admit I voted for her against the dem in her first term.
You do not hide discovery. Those who do and rightly so have been heavily sanctioned by judges.
We have all voted for idiots.
Agree
She is a contender for the FR Helen Thomas award.
“I still dont get how the hell Pam Bondi turned to the dark side. She was a conservative darling the time she was up for election and won that seat. Sean Hannity gushed over her at that time.”
Same way Rubio went. Money and promises of power work 98% of the time. When money and power don’t do the trick sex and blackmail are used.
Most people who aspire to political office have large egos, ambition, and desire for power (i.e. dominion over others). Those who control the system (i.e. the already wealthy and powerful) require services and obedience. To gain power, you must be willing to serve and obey. If you are truly selfless and desire to serve the public instead of the powerful, the elites controlling the system will either bring you into line or take you down.
With Bondi it was likely money, power, or sexual blackmail. Take your pick.
Thanks! Do you know if Mark O’Mara is planning to represent Ben Kruidbos in a case against Angela Cory concerning his firing? I sure hope he does!!
No idea would be surprised though if he did as his practice is not near Jacksonville.
