ORLANDO, FL — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement following the passing of Former Florida Ninth Judicial Circuit Public Defender, Bob Wesley.
In a statement, Rep. Frost says:
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of former Public Defender Bob Wesley, a champion for justice and fearless advocate for a better, more just Central Florida for all.
“Bob’s commitment to justice and impact went beyond the courtroom. From his annual professional clothing drive, community bail fund, or fight to advance criminal justice reform, Bob never stopped working to ensure that every individual—regardless of income or background—received the dignity and justice they rightfully deserved.
“Through his work, he restored hope in so many folks who had been let down by a broken system that too often targets our most vulnerable populations.
“His legacy and heart of service will be felt for years to come across Central Florida, including those he served, legal advocates, and community leaders.
“I’m sending my deepest condolences and love to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his extraordinary work.”
