Out of prison, man still awaits freedom
By PAULA MCMAHON

It has been 107 days since Anthony Caravella was released from prison, but he says he's still not free.

It will take more time, he thinks, to catch up on what he missed during the 9,389 days he spent behind bars for a Miramar rape and murder that recent DNA testing suggests he did not commit.

Caravella was 15 when charged with the brutal 1983 slaying. He served about 26 years of a life sentence before Broward prosecutors took the extraordinary measure of seeking his temporary release Sept. 10 while they check the accuracy of the results and test other evidence.

Dade horse killings bring more attention to illegal slaughterhouses
By CURTIS MORGAN AND JUAN CARLOS CHAVEZ

For 20 years, Tony Maqueira has routinely trucked pigs down from upstate to sell in rural Northwest Miami-Dade. With demand for a Nochebuena roast pig at its peak last week, he simply parked his squealing load along West Okeechobee Road and waited for customers from nearby small farms to come to him.

Asked if buyers are licensed to kill and sell pigs, Maqueira, an impeccably polite man wearing the straw hat and rubber boots of a working rancher, appeared momentarily puzzled. Then he shrugged and explained there were worse things to worry about in these unpaved, impoverished outskirts: cockfights, dogfights, guns, drugs.

``This is food,'' he said. ``This is good for the people.''

Trial begins for Miami pastor accused of stealing county funds
By DAVID OVALLE

The case, prosecutors say, involves outright theft: The Rev. Gaston Smith -- tasked with helping the poor of Liberty City -- misused $10,000 in county grant money on himself, including $500 at a Las Vegas martini bar.

``This was supposed to be seed money to an organization; it was never meant to be seed money for Pastor Smith himself,'' Miami-Dade prosecutor Richard Scruggs told jurors at the start of Smith's trial Tuesday. He added: ``Follow the money, follow the money, follow the money.''

Nonsense, Smith's defense attorneys responded. The investigation was a vindictive campaign really aimed at bringing down Miami Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones, but which ensnared a ``decent man'' and community ``visionary.''
