He had just been named manager of Bay Walk two days ago and now stands charged with a felony of grand theft. Howard Rosenthal was arrested by Pinellas County detectives on Thursday. While a Sheriff's spokesperson deemed the arrest and Bay Walk as a coincidence, I wonder. Perhaps someone is trying to blackball Rosenthal. Rosenthal remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Rosenthal was booked into Pinellas County Jail on one count of grand theft. While the count is a felony, he still has constitutional rights which must be protected. In addition, he has the right and duty to investigate these charges against him. If he's been railroaded, he has the right to face his accusers in a court of law and have them aggressively and extensively interrogated. That's how the criminal justice system works. Innocence is assumed until proven otherwise.
