Current Position

Location: Sarasota, Florida

Beat: Sarasota courts

Position:

This reporter covers an essential beat -- the Sarasota courts. This helps ensure that we cover both public safety and criminal justice. It also will enable us to watch out for non-violent crime like the real estate fraud that was so pervasive here. And with this reporter, we help fulfill Gannett's commitment to more transparent and equitable courts coverage, including tracking stories beyond arrest to document the final outcomes (including when charges are thrown out).
