Ruthann Aron (née Greenzweig; born October 24, 1942), now known as Ruth Ann Green,[1] is an American felon, former politician, and former real estate developer who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination in the 1994 United States Senate election in Maryland.
After the general election, Aron sued Brock for slander based on comments he had made implying that she had been criminally convicted of fraud during her business career.
[4] At the time of her arrest, Aron was planning to run as a Democrat for an at-large seat on the Montgomery County Council.
In Aron's first trial, she used nine expert witnesses to argue that a brain injury and childhood abuse had rendered her incapable of realizing that what she was doing was illegal.
[citation needed] Aron's son, Joshua, was an employee at Cantor Fitzgerald's offices at the World Trade Center and was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
[citation needed] It was reported in May 2016 that Aron was going by the name Ruth Ann Green and living in Montgomery County, Maryland, and in Palm Beach, Florida.
