Pam Bondi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pam Bondi is a prosecutor in Hillsborough County, Florida where she works as an Assistant State Attorney. She also makes guest appearances on Scarborough Country with Joe Scarborough and various other cable news programming on MSNBC and Fox News as a legal analyst.
In 2001, Bondi was offered a role as the lead in a reality-based television show that would have followed her adventures as a prosecutor. However, she declined the offer. She prosecuted former Major League Baseball player Dwight Gooden for violating the terms of his probation and for substance abuse.
[edit] Trivia
- Bondi was honored in 2005 as Italian-American Women of Excellence in the "Government" category by The Italian Club Ladies Auxiliary, Inc., Tampa. [1]
- She adopted a St. Bernard dog, Noah [2], after he was rescued from St. Bernard's Parish in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. [3] When the original owners located the dog and attempted to reclaim it, Bondi refused to return the dog. [4] In July 2006, a lawsuit was filed by the dog's original owners against Bondi seeking a transfer of custody of the dog. Ironically, Bondi has hired prominent criminal defense attorney Barry Cohen (a frequent adversary to Tampa prosecutors) to defend her interests in this lawsuit.
