Congratulations to Matt Destry and Carlos Rebollo for being selected as the next two Judges. Destry will take over for Seidlin and Rebollo for Korda.
Governor appoints two to Broward bench

CONGRATULATIONS TO CARLOS REBOLLO. HE IS A FINE MAN THAT WILL DO A FINE JOB AND BRING INTEGRITY TO THE JUDICIARY, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW HE DOES NOT SMOKE IN PUBLIC PARKS
Destry was expected but Rebello is a very pleasant surprise. Congrats to both. It's good to hear that Seidlin and Korda, two big and long time losers, are being replaced by such good additions to pretty much a screwed up judiciary, with a few exceptions.
Sorry to Stefanie.
Congrats Carlos. You are the man!
I'm very happy for you Carlos! Please, no long acceptance speech thanking God for your good fortune. And whatever you do, don't listen to any of the other judges. Follow your own good principles and remain the great person you are.
Finally some young new blood!
Dont give up Steph, you would be a great addition
I called it. Carlos for diversity and Destry for raising money.
based on destry pick, judge jay hurley can't be far behind
everyone knew destry was in. so much for the "open" appointment process.

The best thing about matthew destry's appointment is that eileen oconnor will no longer get the rap for being the most unfair, mean, intolerant, anti defense judge.
Buckle up folks.

Great all the civil lawyers need is two x prosecutors.The crimial bench dumped its garbage in the civil division ..Aleman Goldstein and Carney..Please send us some more of your garbage ..The civil divion stinks to holy hell from these bums.I dont know these guys but we pray they send them to civil take your garbage back!!
Hey civil - we don't want or need your garbage. You are stuck with the likes of Aleman and Goldstein.
Anyone who has few, if any, ties to the cesspool formerly occupied by Korda and Seidlin is a welcome relief.
I hope they don't get polluted by all the tripe floating about the courthouse in the process.
We pray the JQC removes Aleman for her conduct..a act to kindness to the public will be to remove her from the bench.Goldstein is retiring in June..He has a law degree from Costco.
Happy Thanksgiving, Carlos. You deserve it. Please don't become corrupted by anyone they assign you to teach you how to be a judge. You don't need any help in that department. Remain true to yourself and avoid the ones they'll send to indoctrinate you. You have abilities that the others never had or have forgotten all about. The best to you this holiday season. Keep to yourself.
Broward lawyer picked as ChildNet's new CEO
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/broward/story/317142.html
ChildNet's board of directors selected a local attorney and longtime children's rights defender to run the Broward child advocacy group after a nationwide search.
Emilio Benitez will be the new chief executive officer. He has acquired more than a decade's experience in children's advocacy work, ChildNet announced Wednesday.
Benitez, a lawyer in private practice, was the first chair of ChildNet's board of directors, in 2003, and remained on the board until earlier this year, when he was appointed by Gov. Charlie Crist to the Children's Services Council of Broward.
its a new era, im planning to apply for the bailiffs position with mr rebollo, if a pass the screening process, a new era will dawn, i expect all you so called litigators to freshen up on your use of latin, we shall return to the the golden age of law, as it was when i started, res ipsa loquitor, et al etc, i can see it now
Francis Bacon: "It is a sad thing that when a man dies he should be know to the entire world, but be unknown to himself".
Destry is a good guy with brains. He did defense work for seven years and became board certified. He may have helped Crist get elected, but he is well qualified and has a great demeanor.
Carlos aint bad either.
Hey, Jim: You'll never make it through the metal detector without having to shed your piece! Anyway, your 20 years to young!
God help us all.
Great another open thinker like o'connor on the bench( Rebollo) all you suck ups saying great choice do not rememeber what a pleasure it was dealing with him and his brother in arms al milian. This choice is the republicans shot back at a democratic county- as punishment for being so. Just happy to be in dade now so I dont have to go before him or his sister
who is carlos related to?
Hey Jimmy... When you practiced we put guys on the rack for stealing chickens and horses right?
Rebollo and Milian are both fine people that don't lack strength of conviction. You can go after either one of them, but you can't say they never believed in what they were doing. Both of them are equally compassionate and reasoned and have the life experience that lends itself to multi dimensional thinking and application of will beyond just the exercising of it. I forget who once said "There is no escape from power once you have it." But I remain convinced that both of these people can transcend the pettiness involved in the body politic and excel and improve equal and just application of law.
Heartfelt congratulations to you Carlos! Your new position could not have gone to a better person. The kind, generous and thoughtful attitude you bring to the job you now occupy is well deserved. Happy Thanksgiving.
Both judges will likely join the civil bench.

thought judges were not to be political. helping the gov get elected doesn't sound neutral to me. do u think he can call balls and strikes fairly
Congratulations to Matt Destry! He will make a fine judge and a welcome addition to our blighted judiciary!
Hip Hip Hooray!
My only regret is that Raag wasn't chosen as well
I'm surprised too. Why do you think Rag wasn't chosen?
i do not pack, and because i was born beforeeeeee most does not mean that i can mot horsewhip u young miscreants///// the mere thought of lining you young miscreants up for a good whatever aends chills of passion thru my old bomes.... since very little is flowing thru them this must be a positive, positive in short ww have 2 nwq good judges lets hail them ////
Whatever happend to the shoe-in Raag Singal for one of the positions? Must have been viewed as too close to the rotten political establishment he's been playing with for years. To bad, he's a decent quy. Show me who you walk with and I'll tell you who you are ...
Another casualty of Broward Judicial Politics.
Raag will soon be testifying on behalf of Cheryl Aleman. God bless him!
Raag - great guy - agrees with everybody, stands for nothing. No backbone. He cried over a defendant who killed a cop (during closing argument no less!) Cops will always simply sens e-mails, letters, and telephone the JNC and/or Governor.
Raag as judge - will never happen.
Is Dave Bogenschutz suppose to be a judge-maker in Broward County?
If he is I don't think he faired very well. I think backing Raag Singhal and Phyllis Kotey was a big mistake. Raag is a fake and Kotey has serious temperament and other problems. And I must say, as much as I respect Dave, representing the likes of Ken Jenne, Cheryl Aleman, Ilona Holmes and many others of the same ilk is not something I would be proud of. His partner Mike Dutko is too busy admiring himself to tell Dave he may want to shy away from politicos who have brought and are bringing shame and disgrace to this County. I have more respect for Dave when he represents the mafia hitman that killed Gus Boulis.
P.S. Why didn't Ana Gardiner testify at Ken Jenne's sentencing? Gardiner has always told everyone Ken Jenne is avery close friend. Does anyone think Ana Gardiner is currently keeping a low profile and trying to stay below the radar after telling the County Commission the judges don't have enough courtrooms, not even closets?
