The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.

David Lawrence Jr. honored by South Florida immigrant rights community

Former Miami Herald publisher David Lawrence Jr., a longtime advocate for children, families and immigrants, was honored Saturday night by South Florida’s immigrant rights community. Lawrence became the first recipient of the Guardian of Justice Award during the Americans for Immigrant Justice’s 30th anniversary gala in Miami. The award, which will now bear his name, recognizes his decades of commitment to social justice. In accepting the award, Lawrence reflected on lessons from his childhood, the personal challenges his family has endured over the last year-and-a-half and his growing concerns about the direction of the country, particularly its treatment of immigrants. Quoting New York Times columnist David Brooks, Lawrence said America needs “an uprising of decency,” and called for greater compassion toward immigrants. Many of them, he added, work hard, care deeply about freedom and contribute to their communities. “Ours is a community where more than half of us are first-generation immigrants,” Lawrence said. “It’s the highest percentage of any urban area in the United States of America. And I wonder, and I worry, why do not more of us in this immigrant community speak up about the wrongs being done to so many other families?” An avid reader, Lawrence pointed

The College Football Playoff field is expanding. What it means for Hurricanes

It’s officially happening. The College Football Playoff field is doubling in size, expanding from 12 teams to 24 teams starting in the 2027 season. The news was announced Monday morning by both the CFP and ESPN, which is the media rights-holder for the playoffs. “ESPN and the College Football Playoff have worked collaboratively for more than a decade to make the CFP one of the marquee events in all of sports, and we remain firmly committed to elevating it in its new, expanded 24-team format,” ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in a press release announcing the expansion. “We value the trust that the CFP has placed in us as its exclusive media partner, and our continued presentation of this premier championship further solidifies ESPN as the home of college football and the destination for college sports for years to come.” The CFP, in its own statement, said the decision to expand the field “was driven by a desire to increase opportunities for FBS programs, student-athletes and fan bases to participate in the Playoff and have a chance to play for the CFP National Championship.” And with the expansion will also come a slew of changes to the college football landscape.

University of Miami trustees chairman to lead Byron Donalds' transition team

Republican Governor-elect Byron Donalds has selected Manuel “Manny” Kadre, the chairman of the University of Miami Board of Trustees and CEO of a luxury car dealership chain, to lead his transition team. While the business executive and Republican donor was not a high-profile surrogate of the Donalds campaign, he was spotted at a campaign retreat in Miami Beach in September, according to reporting by Florida Politics , and gave $25,000 to Donalds’ campaign that week. Kadre had also been present at early discussions between Ken Griffin and Gov. Ron DeSantis about funding a Republican primary challenger against Donalds, according to reporting by NBC News last year. Griffin later became Donalds’ biggest campaign donor , contributing $15 million to his political committee. Donalds made Ryan Smith the executive director of his transition team. During the campaign, Smith was the chairman of the Friends of Byron Donalds PAC, which raised over $155 million to usher Donalds to victory last week. In a post-election memo last week, Smith attributed Donalds’ win during a nationwide blue-wave election to Donald Trump’s endorsement of Donalds, his six-to-one fundraising advantage over Democratic candidate David Jolly and the campaign’s massive voter turnout operation.

Gas drops by double digits again in South Florida. Check prices in your area

Gas prices dropped by double digits for the second straight week in Miami-Dade and Broward County, and is down to $4 a gallon nationally. This also marks the third straight week prices have dipped in Florida. “Florida drivers are finally seeing some meaningful relief at the pump, and there could be more on the way,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Oil and gasoline futures dropped sharply last week, and those lower prices can take time to work their way through the fuel supply chain. If the market remains favorable, pump prices could continue moving lower. While it’s unclear how low prices could go, the recent market moves are encouraging for drivers.” The average price in Miami and Fort Lauderdale is 28 cents a gallon lower than a month ago but 99 cents higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy, a national fuel monitoring service that surveys nearly 1,700 stations in South Florida North Florida is the cheapest to pump in Florida while the Keys and Palm Beach County are the most expensive areas to buy gas, according to AAA.
