Senior Assistant Pinellas County Attorney Carl Brody was abruptly fired this past Friday, apparently without warning and possibly without sufficient cause, according to Dr. Ricardo Davis, Chair of the Pinellas County’s Unified Personnel Board.
In an email to a small group of community leaders on Saturday morning, Davis describes Brody’s firing as fall-out from the recent controversy over the job performance of the County’s Human Resources Director Dr. Holly Schoenherr, which resulted in her resignation on March 4th.
Davis’ note read, in part, “During this controversial process, Mr. Carl Brody, Sr. County Attorney, the highest-ranking African-American in the County Attorney’s office, and a 23-yr employee of the County, was assigned as Counsel to the Personnel Board. Mr. Brody’s performance has been excellent. However, it is my understanding that on Friday, March 13th, 2020, Mr. Brody was abruptly terminated from his employment by the County Attorney, Jewel White, without explanation…This action… SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND.”
Davis has called a special meeting of the Personnel Board meeting to discuss the matter. the meeting is open to the public and will take place on Thursday, March 19, 2020, at 6:30 p.m.
