DEFENDANT ZAPPED
Lots of buzz around the courthouse today after deputies tased a defendant in Judge Siegel. By all acounts it was a pretty gruesome sight. It's my understanding that the defendant was being sentenced after being found in violation after a FVOP Hearing containing a new law violation. The guy was supposedly upset after getting 4 years (I believe he scored discretionary and sent to final before being able to try the new case, which he thought he could beat), and the armed deputy tased him after he kept professing his innocence in a more and more aggressive way. I also believe he was in leg and arm shackles at the time of the tasing, and may have even still been cuffed to the chair they were trying to remove him from (which he fell back into after the shock), but that's just what I hear, so don't hang me out to dry if I got any of this wrong.
Another day in Broward County!
If the facts are accurate, who is the deputy?
Sounds like some of our judges need a jolt.
It appears (from what I just read) that the Defendant was (naturally) upset. The Defendant did not appear to be any threat to the Court or any personal (just upset). This deputy it appears had no reason (or right) to zap this Defendant. This deputy should lose his job tomorrow, if the facts are in fact the way they were written.
Ha Ha!
High voltage makes clown makeup run and rubber noses melt.
One question: Where was the judge during all of this?
I thought you could guess. Clowning around.
Did this deputy work at the dog pound before he got this job?
Ha, Ha. He probably got his jollies zapping animals.
This reminds me of the Michael Jackson commercial where the hair caught on fire.
Where's my taser? I want my taser now!
wire 'em all up. save big money on cuffs. don't need 'em. one step out of line and zzzzzttttt (make sure the janitor is standing by)
"It was like watching a chained man being electrocuted," O'Brien said."
Good job Cullin. Why do some judges force people to forfeit there right to trial when they have new law violations by setting the final 1st? The scandals with exceptional clearance and hollywood demonstrte that some police do lie. These judges should be looked at if they are just trying to close cases on the docket instead of affording rights to trial when everyone knows there are so many cooked up cases.
Look up the case on the Clerk's website....
The PD had the substantive charge and the VOP for 2 YEARS. The VOP for a grand theft got delayed 2 years, how often do you see that. How long is the Judge supposed to keep the VOP around?
I am not going to say anything bad about Mr. OBrien because he may have had the case only a short time. It is too bad that the PD's office couldnt get this case worked up for trial in 2 years, espicially where it appears the video tape exonerated him.
If these dates are right then you are correct and I am wrong
Did anybody hear about the woman who was sentenced to ten years by Judge Ana Gardiner (Broward) for driving with a suspended license?
Judge Gardiner is full of herself. On top of that, her intellect is sorely lacking. She should be thrown off the bench for trampling all over defendants' rights on a daily basis. She's worse than Aleman and O'Connor put together.
Judge Gardener does give both aleman and O'Connor a run for their money. Has anyone ever reported her to the JQC?
what is the count up to on Broward Judges that should have or do have a JQC complaint:
should have: I am at 6
do have: is it 3?
I think Gardiner is smarter than Aleman and O'Connor put togethr and thats what makes her so dangerous
Watch it fellas, Ahearn will accuse you of making multiple blogs. He thinks all these people are one in the same person.
How many times was he tazed?
