A South Florida attorney credits a key element with helping him get a jury to see his point of view when presenting evidence in a breach-of-contract and fraud case involving a billionaire casino owner being sued by his ex-Miss Earth girlfriend.

In a case against Mexican billionaire Francisco Rodriguez “Javier” Borgio, defense counsel say the Miami-Dade County jury largely found in favor of the defense. Herman J. Russomanno III of the Miami-based Russomanno & Borrello led for the defense. At least $16 million was at stake for his client.
