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.''
