Judge drops perjury charge for former Broward superintendent Dr. Robert Runcie

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:31:08 GMT

The case is closed against a former Broward School’s superintendent. Dr. Robert Runcie was facing one criminal count of perjury after he was accused of lying to a grand jury. A judge Tuesday dismissed those charges against Runcie. Runcie was arrested in April of 2021 after a grand jury that was investigating operations of the school district at the time, claimed that he wasn’t truthful in preparing his testimony. Shortly after Runcie turned himself in and posted bond, he agreed to a separation agreement with the district. That agreement took effect in the summer of 2021. Runcie’s attorneys argued that the grand jury was out of scope with his indictment and said that that was not what they were there to do; they were not there to look into the superintendent. The judge agreed with his attorneys and wrote the following statement that reads, “…it is ordered and judged that the defendant’s second motion to dismiss indictment is granted. The state has ...
