Controversies

Teele-DeFede Incident

On July 27, 2005, former Miami city commissioner Arthur Teele walked into the main lobby of the Miami Herald headquarters, dropped off a package for columnist Jim DeFede, and told a security guard to tell Miami Herald columnist Jim DeFede to tell his wife Stephanie he 'loved her' before pulling out a gun and committing suicide by one shot to the head. Events 1214 - Battle of Bouvines: In France, Philip II of France defeats John of England. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Arthur "Art" Teele was an American politician who belonged to the Republican Party. His suicide happened the day the Miami New Times, a weekly newspaper, published salacious details of Teele's alleged affairs, including allegations Teele had sex and used cocaine with a transsexual prostitute. Cocaine ( benzoylmethyl ecgonine) is a Crystalline Tropane Alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the Coca plant Transsexualism is a condition in which a person identifies with a physical Sex different from the one with which they were born Prostitution is the act of performing Sexual activity in exchange for Money. At the time, Teele was being investigated by federal authorities for fraud and money laundering for allegedly taking $59,000 in kickbacks to help a businessman get millions of dollars in contracts at Miami International Airport. Money laundering is the practice of engaging in financial Transactions in order to conceal the Identity, source and/or destination of Money, Miami International Airport is a public Airport located eight miles (13 km) northwest of the Central business district of Miami, in unincorporated The IRS also had an ongoing investigation of Mr. The Teele.

Under Florida law, it is illegal to secretly tape a call when a speaker has an expectation of privacy. Expectation of privacy is a concept which is crucial in the defining of the scope of the applicability of Privacy laws A subjective expectation of privacy is an Following the shooting, DeFede admitted to Herald management that he taped the call and acknowledged that it was a mistake. Although the paper used quotes from the tape in its coverage, editor Tom Fiedler and publisher Jesus Diaz fired DeFede the next day. Fiedler argued that DeFede had violated the paper's code of ethics and was likely guilty of a felony. Many journalists and readers of the Herald disagreed with the decision to fire rather than suspend DeFede, arguing that it was made in haste and that the punishment was disproportionate to the offense. 528 journalists, including about 200 current and former Herald staffers, called on the Herald to reinstate DeFede, but the paper's management refused to back down. The state attorney's office later declined to file charges against the columnist, holding that the potential violation was "without a (living) victim or a complainant. "
