LAWSUIT (PDF):

"The lawsuit alleges that it was the practice of Armor and BSO to refuse the medications ''as a cost-saving method of administering medical care'' -- a policy that shows ''deliberate indifference'' to the medical needs of those who are detained in the jail system...
(Inmate) Sauve's health continued to deteriorate until finally a Broward judge ordered his $500,000 bond for selling pain pills reduced to zero so he could be released to get medical help."
ASSISTANT PUBLIC DEFENDER REIDY APOLOGIZES:

JUDGE KORDA COMPLETES PTI/DRUG CHARGES DROPPED (Party at Larry's?):

"(Korda's) resignation came amid a rash of missteps by Broward's judges.
Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin was caricatured on Saturday Night Live for his weepy performance in the Anna Nicole Smith court fight, and has accused of improperly receiving gifts from attorneys.
Three other judges, including former Chief Judge Dale Ross, have been accused this year of making insensitive remarks about defendants.
Ross resigned his post as chief judge over the summer.
His replacement, Chief Judge Victor Tobin, has vowed to work to restore public faith in the judiciary.

''Broward County's disregard is so egregious that it shocks the conscience of the court,'' Judge Charles Greene wrote."
SENTINEL:
MIKE MAYO ON FORMER SHERIFF JENNE: "He admitted his guilt. Why can't he admit the truth?"
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-flbmayocol1117sbnov17,0,7542717.column?coll=sofla_tab01_layout
"...it was also a little enraging to see the way justice plays out for the powerful and connected.
Sitting through the show that was Jenne's sentencing hearing, with its parade of power brokers testifying on his behalf, I had the distinct impression that if this were you or I, we might not have gotten the same courtesies.
It's good to be the king. Or at least a former political kingpin.
Federal court isn't known for sympathetic treatment of the guilty. But there was Dimitrouleas, cutting Jenne two huge breaks...
Dimitrouleas came off looking like he was running interference...
After the sentencing, Bogenschutz... (said) the former sheriff was merely guilty of "personal peccadilloes."

JUDGE TERI-ANN MILLER WANTS HER JQC CHARGES DROPPED:
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-flsb3bdig11173sbnov17,0,3286223.story
The federal investigation of Jenne began when the Broward State Attorney's Office uncovered irregularities in Jenne's finances while state prosecutors were investigating a false confessions scandal and the manipulation of crime statistics by the Sheriff's Office. Then-Gov. Jeb Bush ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to take over the investigation because State Attorney Mike Satz was once a close friend of Jenne. Federal prosecutors joined the investigation two years ago."

Hurry, before they magically disappear
Smoking, Larry... You completed your probation. Now maybe we should have a better look at all the cases you decided while you were stoned. Give the task to Judge Ross to figure out. We know what the outcome would be, but it would give him something to do until retirement!
Ask Levenson what could be done to get aids medication to inmates. Would be interested to know his thoughts on the subject.
Hey, Korda, when's the party? Heard you had some wild ones in the past.
With judges like Korda and Greene and Levenson, ect., ect., what do you expect?
Korda was a sham left over from the old Hollywood days of political shamery.
You gotta hand it to this Terry Ann Miller. Hope she finally makes the hurtle.
UNCERTAIN IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN

Bottom line is that if you have money you are much more likely to get treated better in the American criminal justice system.
Bottom line is that if you are white you are much more likely to get treated better in the American
criminal justice system.
This is just the obvious truth.
Get over yourself Rumpole. You have great principles and ideals, but we live in the real world where institutionalized racism and
classism exist.

Jenne definitely got a sweetheart deal. Just look at the IRS statistics for these types of cases: the average sentence in tax cases involving public corruption was 36 months in 2006 and has consistently been around 3 years imprisonment. Jenn's sentence was far less than that and far less than he agreed to in his gift of a plea agreement. There's definitely a different standard for the poor than for the rich and formerly powerful. How many lawyers in this town can recall when the PSI came out lower than the plea agreement, followed by the judge going even lower?

Charles Greene has a conscience? Laughable in the extreme. I'll try not to bust a gut at his sincerity.
