Satz Kaplan Marcil Jenne Schlesinger
It just makes me wonder if Mike Satz is completely out of touch with the realities of running a big city SAO. Violent crime is on the rise, BSO Boot Camp and the DUI Task Force are no more due to budget cuts, yet they spend more than $21,000 of BSO money to win a 60 day sentence for a man already serving 10 years? And why is this particular deputy still on the floor after she has had so many problems with this type of jail behavior in the past?

"Were it not for this pending charge, Alexander would have moved to the state prison system months ago.
Twelve days after the cell incident, he pleaded guilty to armed robbery and received a 10-year prison sentence.
Broward taxpayers have been footing the bill — $91.29 a day — to keep Alexander in the main jail while the indecent exposure case has worked its way to a trial date. The grand total for Alexander's incarceration in that case is nearly $21,000. On top of that, the public will pay $1,150 for his attorney."

So who is going to try for the two open seats?
Without Scherer, Hurly will do it.
Seidman again?
Judge Zeller?
Matt Destry?
Dishowitz?
Liz Scherer is my guess.
Liz Scherer has about as much chance as Hurly does of obtaining the seat. That is, NO CHANCE. The recent Greene wrap is going to do it for Liz. Bad move, Liz.
this is like listening to al kida chatter, when are u going to take action. bunch of old women jabbering. start taking the information and put action behind it. poloticians are use to rumors they sit and let it go by.
i woder if levenson's feet have started twitchin' with that jail house itchin'? MRSA anyone?
Is that Levenson's I.Q. at 11 ? What a ridicules move. Most unjudicial. Keep your shoes on next time Levenson.
Not smiling so much now, Charlie. Knuckle down and do your job without all the theatrics. And above all, keep your yap shut when you don't know what you're talking about. Although that never seemed to stop you before, you might give it a try next time. It you keep this up, people are going to think you don't know what you're doing.
The 4th already thinks he's a spoof.
It it looks like a duck ...
Yeah, Old Charlie is really on a roll. To where, I'm not quite sure. He must be following the example of some of the older dimwits.
Quack, quack, quack ...

Former AUSA making us proud
Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson always was one of the fairest prosecutors to deal with when he was an AUSA. Now he is showing how to judge:
The jurors didn't know that the judge presided in his socks and the defendant testified in the judge's shoes.
That's what happened Tuesday when Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson gave the shoes off his feet so Michael Fernandez, 22, could put his best foot forward to testify at his trial on a cocaine-trafficking charge.Fernandez mistakenly was brought to court in his jailhouse garb, said defense attorney Jim Lewis. When deputies finally delivered Fernandez's court clothes, his shoes were missing and he would have had to testify in his jailhouse flip flops, Lewis said.
Enter the judge and his size 11s."He took off his black loafers and said, 'Use these,'" Lewis said. "And sure enough, they were just about a perfect fit."
Love it. Well done Judge Levenson. And you may be wondering what happened to the defendant -- not guilty. I wonder what would have happened if the jury would have seen him in prison flip flops...
Ill tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery
Ill never be your beast of burden
Ill never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
There are at least 4 more cops from the City of Hollywood who should be spending time in prison soon. Those are the two arrant cops, Frances Hoeflinger and John Graham, who nearly beat a prisoner to death on April 18th, 2003, and at least two others who took the video of that beating and excised the brutal attack by these officers against Baker. the State Attorney well knew of the altered evidence before persisting in a criminal trial against Baker, and asked Baker to let Hollywood off the hook by pleading guilty to the false charge that he had assaulted the two officers. Baker refused, and the PD did not challenge the altered evidence, subpoenaed none of the six eye-witnesses or the video expert who had been provided to the PD, and allowed Baker to be convicted. Baker has now served 3 years of the 60 month sentence, and the 4th DCA has Ordered Judge Gates to hold a hearing on Baker's Rule 3.850 motion (the State had delayed by continuance motions for nearly 10 months), before a Mandamus action forced Judge Gates to act. Judge Gates was content with letting the state continue this case until Baker had served the entirety of his sentence. A hearing will be held before Judge Gates (sorry to hear that) on the 24th of August. This will be for the appointment of a special assistant PD. The State has re-offered Baker no more time in prison if he will let the City off the hook on their falsification of evidence and malicious beating, which landed Baker in the hospital for four days (and only released from the hospital by Jenne's assurances that the county jail hospital could afford Baker adequate treatment for his injuries). NOTE: There is no hospital at the jail; Baker's medications were taken from him, including pain medication, and he was left to languish in a cold jail cell. Baker lost the hearing in his left ear either when the officers kneed Baker in the left head area, or when they smashed his face into the concrete floor, over and over again, until Baker was rendered unconscious. Even then, these arrant police officers continued to beat Baker and smash his face into the concrete floor. Defendant has submitted to Judge Gates that when plea negotiations are designed to cover criminal conduct, the plea negotiations constitute extortion, which is not a legitimate governmental interest.
PLEA OFFERS? If an arrant cop kicked the shit out-a-you, falsified the video of the beating, and the state offered you no prison time, no jail time, and no probation to say that the assault was your fault; that you attacked the cops, and not vice versa, what would you do? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
