Jim Defede was a very popular columnist for the Miami Herald newspaper. Mr. Defede became 'part of the story' when Commissioner Art Teele shot himself to death outside Miami's City Hall. Jim Defede was subsequently fired by the Miami Herald for recording a phone conversation he had with the distraught Mr. Teele, shortly before Art Teele committed suicide.
