...the feds dropped a drug case against a doctor who was previously accused of sex trafficking because of a bad warrant. Jayne Weintraub was Dr. Jeffrey Kamlet's lawyer. From the Herald:
Serious mistakes by the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office led to the dismissal Tuesday of federal narcotics charges against Dr. Jeffrey Kamlet, a Miami addiction doctor accused of sex trafficking a 17-year-old girl found hiding in his closet with another teenager in 2022. In a court filing last week, Kamlet’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, seized on several errors made in drafting the search warrants, among them, an obvious “cut and paste” job by the investigator for Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle’s Human Trafficking Task Force. The dismissal of the federal drug charges is another stunning embarrassment for Rundle, whose office has come under scrutiny after years of sloppy prosecutions that have led to similar dismissals, as well as resignations of top lawyers in her office.

I have known Jayne for 40 years. We worked cases together all over and i so enjoyed watching her truly kick ass.. which she did with the work, legal acumen, passion and humor. Getting a case dismissed in federal court happens less then snow in miami. I know kamlet. He is blessed to have a great lawyer. Nicely done Jayne
Every easy to blame Rundle's office for his f**k up and probably justified. However, when the Feds took the case, didn't they do their due diligence and review the warrant? I do know if this defendant was indicted but if he was, the blame is squarely on the US Attorney.
What Fed accepted that case without properly vetting it?? There's a bunch of so called levels of review (folks who still have milk on their breath)....what dingus approved it?!
