From Judge to Chief Prosecutor, one has to hope she will do something to clean up the misconduct in the office.

Will Orshan stick up for prosecutors who are bullied and banned by judges? Or cower?

Judge Fajardo is a great Judge! If chosen she will truly be missed in the 11th Judicial District of Miami-Dade County.
