Sun Sentinel reports Richard Rubin will change his “not guilty” plea when he comes before Judge William Zloch. Rubin, who puts the Rubin in disgraced Broward County Commish and Democrat Diana Wasserman Rubin, was charged with tax evasion.

The report says Zloch is one tough customer.

“U.S. District Judge William Zloch has a written policy that he does not accept ‘no-contest’ pleas and the hearing notice for Rubin states in capital letters: ‘Counsel, please advise your client Judge Zloch will ask for a full confession.’ ”

Will Rubin give up the Queen? Stay Tuned…

Who is The Queen Of Broward?

Overlooked in Sun Sentinel story about Tamarac corruption was this quote from a top prosecutor in Mike Satz’s office:

“Tim Donnelly, the prosecutor in charge of the state’s corruption investigations, said that it’s sometimes necessary to subpoena potential witnesses and give them immunity.

‘Because, as a prosecutor you are always pursuing the most culpable criminal but you have to have witnesses and evidence in order to convict. Without them, you have no case,’ Donnelly said. ‘I think the higher good is to get Lady Macbeth, rather than throw some spineless lackey in jail.’ ”

Perhaps we’re reading too much into it, but notice he said Queen. He didn’t refer to a King, or Capone or Boss Tweed. Donnelly used a female reference. Is there a Queen at the heart of Broward’s corruption?
