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.

Broward County considers temporary data center ban

(The Center Square) –Broward County commissioners are considering a yearlong pause on large-scale data center development in unincorporated areas while the county evaluates regulations addressing infrastructure, environmental and land use concerns. Commissioners held the first of two required public hearings Tuesday on the proposed moratorium. No action was taken. The next public hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8. The proposal would pause acceptance and processing of development applications while the county determines whether its existing regulations adequately address the facilities’ demands on infrastructure and compatibility with surrounding land uses. The county describes large-scale data centers as facilities with an anticipated monthly peak electrical load of at least 50 megawatts. The moratorium would remain in effect for one year or until amendments to the county’s code of ordinances become effective, whichever occurs first. Broward resident Chris Nelson said during the hearing that his opposition to data centers goes beyond concerns about noise pollution and environmental impacts. “It’s really what do these things represent?” Nelson said. “We don’t want AI coming in and supplanting the human experience and taking our jobs away.” He said the argument that data centers would be local job creators does not hold water. “These things don’t bring
