Pferned search commands end feds' drug case against Florida Doctor

Serious mistakes by the Miami-Dade public prosecutor's office led to the dismissal of the indictment for narcotics against Dr. Jeffrey Kamlet, a Miami search doctor who was accused.

In a court registration last week, Kamlet's lawyer Jayne Weintraub confessed several mistakes, violence.

The dismissal of the Federal Drug Charge is another breathtaking embarrassment for Rundle, whose office was examined after years of sloppy law enforcement measures that have led to similar layoffs and to the resignation of top lawyers in their office.

The Miami Herald was not successful when it came to receiving a comment from Rundle or the US public prosecutor.

Kamlet, 69, a renowned addiction doctor who treated some of the best -known people in South Florida, had already defeated the case of the state's sexual trade, which was brought by Rundle in 2023. Twelve charges for dead victims The small river channel just a few weeks before she should testify against Kamlet.

The girl's mother, who asked not to be identified because she believes that her daughter was murdered, said it was a shameful police and the public prosecutor's office not to do her work.

“From the day you found her in his apartment, everything was swept under the carpet,” she said.

The case was part of a recent examination by Miami Herald: “Dr. Feelgood ”, in which the numerous mistakes of both Miami Beach and Rundle from Rundle were detailed. The story also revealed that Kamlet was able to trigger three earlier criminal arrests, including one for cocaine ownership, while he was a licensed doctor who treated patients with addiction problems.

Kamlet told the Herald that he met the two girls in the dating app Tinder. He claims that they told him that they were 18 years old. He and his lawyer have characterized the two girls, one 17, the other than drug addicts and prostitutes who have locked him. Kamlet denied that he had sex or gave the girl drugs.

The 17-year-old claimed that Kamlet had given her pure Colombian cocaine, and then showed her his collection of high-ranking weapons and dozens of bottles of pills, which he kept in his safe. Then he captivated her in his bed and had sex with her. In another incident, he looked a porn video, told her that he could bring her into pornography and later in a text message he said that he would take care of her if she had chemistry and stopped using drugs.

It was admitted to a drug treatment facility at the end of 2022. When she returned home, she told her mother that she wanted to testify in his upcoming trial against him, and her mother didn't ask her.

“I said to her:” Do not do it, don't tell them anything, our life is in danger here by talking to the police about someone like him. “… I told her that people with money and makes no difficulties.”

She was dead three months later. The medical examiner decided her death as “indefinite”. The Miami-Dade police examined, but there is no evidence that the probe is active.

After her death, the FBI entered and submitted federal medication against Kamlet, based on the cache of pills and other forms of powdered and liquid drugs that were found in his apartment – according to the state's search commands. At least one of the drugs found in a safe in his apartment was banned in the USA

At the same time, the Federal Prosecutor's Office confiscated Kamlet's computer and informed a judge that they would examine him for child pornography.

Ultimately, the prosecutors could not overcome the defects in the search commands and never submitted additional charges.

“We were able to show the government that Dr. Kamlet had the controlled substances for legitimate medical purposes in the course of his practice,” said his lawyer Weintraub on Tuesday.

However, the court files tell a different story. Wine robbery focused on the holes of the search commands and on the credibility of the victim.

Probably the worst revelation she found was that the investigator could not remove references in a search command that had nothing to do with Camlet's case.

Frank Casanovas, who has resigned from Rundle's office since then, apparently cut the language from another sex trade arrest warrant in camlets from Kamlets, but did not delete any evidence of the agencies involved in the other case. The Aventura police were highlighted in the language, for example, but Kamlet's case was not treated by the Aventura police.

“Remarkably, the police in Miami Beach, which was for the services and implementation of the arrest warrant to the accused's accused, was not mentioned because it was not cut and inserted,” wrote Weintrub in their submission.

The public prosecutor admitted that it contained “numerous defects” in the search commands and described it as an example of poor “designs”. Nevertheless, the prosecutors argued that Casanovas operated in good faith and that mistakes were nothing more than an oversight.

Kamlet's arrest order was signed by the head of the Rundle, deputy prosecutor Brenda Mezick. It is not clear whether Mezick has deregistered the search commands.

It is not the first mistake of the sex trade of Rundle, which completed another recent investigation, in which allegations were affected that an important Biskayne gymnastics trainer had inappropriated one of his students. The unit that checked the allegations rejected it. If they had looked deeper, they would have found that two other students aged 4 and 7 had also submitted similar symptoms to the police.

Of the 638,872 criminal complaints in Miami-Dade County in the past 10 years, the overwhelming majority-71%have been dropped, abandoned, or not pursued in other ways. Nationwide, this number was 39%.
