Aramis Ayala - Our Second Chance

Aramis Ayala Endorses Melba Pearson

"I endorse Melba Pearson for Miami-Dade State Attorney. I have known Melba for years and have always admired her consistent fight for truth and justice. She is a woman of action. Melba has stood with me as State Attorney in difficult times because she understands that compromising truth for the sake of comfort does nothing but protect the status quo, and it will not yield the progress that is so desperately needed. With Miami-Dade being the largest judicial circuit in Florida and the 4th largest trial circuit in the country, this is not just a race for Miami. This is a race 
for Florida.

 We need State Attorneys who are in love with justice and bold enough to stand against injustice with new ideas and a fresh vision. We need State Attorneys who understand their job is much more than simply processing cases under the law. It is about an honest pursuit of justice under the law. Finally, we need State Attorneys who have both experience in the system and a proven track record of working to protect communities most directly impacted by the system. There is only one candidate who fits that description. Her name is Melba Pearson." - Aramis Ayala, State Attorney, Osceola-Orange County

Rick Scott's Brazen Lack Of Respect For Prosecutorial Independence

Rick Scott overreached last month when he issued an executive order stripping state attorney  Aramis Ayala of her authority to prosecute a man charged with killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and an Orlando police officer. On Monday, he also removed her from 21 other murder cases. here

Tell Rick Scott: Stop attacking Aramis Ayala

Last year, DFA members helped elect Aramis Ayala -- a powerhouse who ran on progressive values to become the first Black State's Attorney ever elected in Florida history, and the first woman to serve as a State Attorney in Orange and Osceola counties.
Now she is under attack by the Florida GOP.

The Audacity Of Aramis Ayala

Florida State prosecutor Aramis Ayala may have made Florida history last weekwhen she declared publicly and emphatically that she would not, under any circumstances, seek the death penalty. here

---------------------------

Within hours of the announcement Rick Scott called on Ayala, to recuse herself from the cases. When she refused, he appointed a special prosecutor to take over — an action critics said was an overreach of executive power.
