Imperato busted for not granting a motion to suppress. Surprise.
Its always a pleasure to be in Imperato's courtroom. Lets you present your argument - will grant motions and is courteous.
Does Backman ever get it right? And he wants Baby Backman to continue the tradition.
JUDGE IMPERATO IS ONE OF THE FEW FAIR AND EFFICIENT JUDGES IN THE COURTHOUSE. DEFENDANTS ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE AT GETTING ALT SENT AND DOWNWARDS GRANTED THERE. SHE SHOULD BE TEACHING OTHERS ON THE BENCH HOW TO RUN A DOCKET/COURTROOM WITHOUT STUPID, OUTRAGEOUS AND INCONVENIENT RULES.
Just what you'd expect from Levenson over and over again.
I like this blog alot. It has forced some much needed fundamental change.
I question though why you would post judicial reversals only. This stinks of bias. How about posting when a Broward judge is affirmed. Highlighting the negative only lends credibility to critics of the blog. How about pointing out good decisions in Broward as well?
I've seen several postings of Broward Judges being affirmed as recently as last week. Check archives. No bias in my opinion. Check it out for yourself, I have. I think it does reflect a fundamental lack of knowledge of the law of some of our judges though. This just reflects a bad bunch.
Affirmed = Booooring
Affirmed cases are posted. There just weren't any from Broward with opinions this week. Also, the * means the public defender's office handled the appeal, not necessarily the trial. Finally, Levenson's reversal is meaningless; only the sentence on count two was reversed, so the defendant still got life. Backman's reversal is as to the sentence only, just to put the certified convictions in the file, so the defendant will still get 30. It might be better to read the opinions before making comments.
the only great thing about her is her offers. g-d forbid you go to trial and lose...expect the max and do judge's time until the 4th fixes it.
To Fairness and Credibility,
As stated previously on the 4 on 17 postings, no pca decisions will be posted. All others will be posted whether reversed or affirmed. I do not see any cases that have been missed, if I'm incorrect, please point it out and I will make sure its immediately added.
I like Cindy but she seems reluctant to grant supressions. She was a cop once I think so maybe she looks at things differently.
Do any of the judges in Broward ever familiarize themselves with the law? No wonder the 4th DCA has such a dim view of Broward Judges. They'll even have a better idea of what's going on with Dorian up there. Hold on to your seats if you can. Broward is in for a wake up call.
Typical of Broward Judges. Can't we get some good people interested in running for some of these positions? This Old Guard needs to go out with the rubbish.
