A circuit judge refused to undo an order putting a receiver in charge of the embattled Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence, rejecting a request by the nonprofit organization's former CEO, Tiffany Carr.
Leon County Circuit Judge Ronald Flury sided with Attorney General Ashley Moody after an hourlong telephone hearing, saying Carr's lawyer, Christopher Kise, failed to persuade him to dissolve his order giving a receiver authority over the coalition.
In a complaint filed early this month, Moody asked the court to put the coalition and a support foundation — headed by Carr — in the hands of a receiver, after investigations revealed that the taxpayer-backed coalition paid Carr more than $7.2 million in compensation over a three-year period.
