While the recent focus has been on the arrest and suspension of Sylvia Poitier, former Deerfield Beach commissioner started his trial today, May 3 for misappropriating campaign funds. Specifically Gonot is facing charges of grand theft in the third degree, official misconduct and falsifying public records.
Gonot was charged near the end of 2008 and is just now going to trial after over two years of hearings and delays.
