And...."(9) The first appearance judicial assignment is: to be determined after Governor Crist's appointment to fill the current vacancy"
Administrative Order Designating Administrative Judges And Chairpersons (effective 7/14/08)
CONGRATULATIONS JUDGES HOLMES AND BIDWILL
Wow, Jay Hurley, the first full time magistrates judge. Not too late to pull your name out Jay.
Bidwill in ROC court?!? Scary.
CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DON'T GET RID OF VITALE
don't let the door hit you on the way out, ana!
Count the months until Bidwill goes federal
So the rumors were true. Gardiner's in for trouble. It's too bad. All she suffers from is terminally bad taste in men! Desperate times require desperate measures.
Looks like Ana has a lot of explaining to do
Just heard. I'm I the only one working this afternoon? The place is empty. They had to let a little time go by to make it look not quite so obvious. But obvious it is anyway.
Another Dale Ross appointee turns out to have very questionable judgement (if the article is true of course). What gives?
Still no lawsuit against the New Times. I thought Dutko was going to crush them like ants. Not even a retraction? Now she's off to civil a la Aleman, demoted, without any explanation. Is the JQC heat that strong?
The deck of cards is scuffled. How many cards is Gardiner going to ask for? Her hand looks weak.
I wonder what Julian thinks of all this?
The word inevitable comes to mind in such a move. But the question remains, what are they going to do with her?
They've been asking questions for a while now.
The JQC isn't finished with the inquiry? Is this supposed to be a tactical move in preparation of a replay of the Crying Game?
You think Ana will show tonight at Sheinberg's farewell party?
"don't let the door hit you on the way out, ana!"
Don't you mean the closet door?
WE HAVE NO CLOSET SPACE!
HOLMES???
So much for the poster girl of a New Broward County Courthouse.
So what. Big deal. She goes to civil.
This is not a punishment or justice. The whole sordid affair must be investigated and she should not be allowed to sit in judgement of anyone until the mess is cleared up.
If the article is true there are potentially 1000s of tainted prosecutions. If she was dating the lead prosecutor in the division all the cases must be reopened. Why is she allowed to stay on the bench at all during the investigation? This is not a case of a judge being mean or discourteous this is the worst of all possible scenarios.
Get her out now until she publicly refutes the allegations or is cleared by the authorities.
How many potentially innocent people
OUCH. MUST HAVE HURT. YOU KNOW HOW SHE LOVED THAT POWER.
maybe now the mainstream papers will nose around and cover l'affair gardiner
Why did it have to happen to Gardiner? She was one of the best judges we had in criminal. Why would she have done this to herself?
So that's what they were talking about..lots of new faces in civil.
one of the best judges in criminal? are you a prosecutor?
She had to be moved. What are you a complete moron? She'll be lucky if they leave if she gets to stay there.
Don't count on the main stream newspapers. You think they care about what's really going on within the Courthouse scene unless its fed to them by a judge?
You've got to be kidding. These judges think they can get away with anything simply because the papers never report anything of substance to their readership.
Look at the state of this county. Look at the state of this country. You think they really care about how many prosecutors she's alleged to have slept with during a trial she was presiding over and how many cases and lives that might have adversly affected? Come on. Then when people with real commitment and ethics step up to fill public office and don't fit in with the corrupt power structure, they get attacked in not so subtle political ways like what we're seeing with the race for PD and everybody turns a blind eye to the realities and truth of the matter.
Broward County has one of the worst groups of power hungry dirty tricksters around. Jeanne was just the top of the hill as far as corrupt politicians go. Judges are certainly no better.
As a matter of fact, they are worse, and we can see that in a judicial race or two right now. Look at how angry they are at Marty Cohen and how they're threatening her husband with opposition when it's his turn for her running against a sitting judge.
These people have no bounds of decency when it comes to what they want, and as long as there is a press that doesn't care, it's going to stay that way.
That's the harsh reality of life here dealing with the Broward County Judiciary.
You think what we've seen over the last two years is something we should be proud of with our judges? It beyond disgust. But there's a great deal more going on that they are really trying to keep the lid on.
Keep your eyes on the bouncing ball. There's a few that are going to be bounced right out of the sandbox if anymore comes to light and should be. It should have never reached this point if people stood up and were counted when it comes to this sort of thing. We get what we deserve if we allow these people to run roughshod over us all. Only a few brave people have thus far stood up and told the truth, people that don't give a rip when it comes to judges holding sway over what they have in their pockets. That's the way it should be. Then there's the others that we all know ....
Amen. But don't forget about Satz. I think you would see an end to most of the problems here if he would just give up the ghost and a good man or woman could take over. Until then it's Trix for breakfast everyday as usual.
If we had more reporters like Bob Norman it sure would help.
What happened to Scheinberg and the US Atty job? Is it true there was some issue in his past that Satz didn't care about?
I wonder, if Gardiner goes down, will she join Scheinberg at Rothstein Adler? Will they also hire Jenne? What an upstanding place to work!
anybody notice that Avalos is never in court anymore?
Why did she even take the chief job. Everyone knew the skeletons and the endless stories. Her behavior had supposedly hurt a lot of powerful people over the years too (not to mention the poor litigants who may have been improperly prosecuted and judged). How could she be so arrogant. Didn't she have any friends to counsel her? What a stupid move. She seems so destructive. Should she really be a judge at all if all this stuff is true? Does she have the appropriate judgement if she makes so many bad decisions in her own life?
anyone know who's going to replace ana
I wonder if some of these other moves are to disguise the reason for moving Gardiner. You know, claim it's just an innocuous move and part of a larger restructuring.
I bet Tuter isn't happy. Didn't he want Goldstein's seat? Why is he working in the baby judge division now?
There always seems to be a lot of fallout around Gardiner, don't you think?
Dale Cohen is a lightweight who Jeb Bush snuck on the bench thanks to bill sherer. He deserves someone to run against him. As for his wife, Mardi Ann Levey Cohen Kaplan Jewy Jeweystein Fingleheymer Schmitt, her name says it all. This county will be much better without these 2 leaches on the bench.
Wow! Someone is clearly anti-semitic. You keep making such horrible comments based on people's names. You need to put down your copy of Mein-Kampf once in a while.
By the way - the last post was meant as a reply to Fingleheymer Schmitt
Then get the hell outa there and start drinking. Since no one works there on Friday afternoons, let's move for the 4 day workweek.
Tuter took over DomVio to rescue the family judges from Destry. Destry couldn't handle more than a handful of hearings and others got tired of doing his docket plus theirs. As long as everyone was raving about Crist's great appointments - Destry forgot what WORK is. Oh what a robe can do
Obviously you do not know Jack Tuter. He will do whatever is necessary to get the job done. From what I have heard he has been handling both dockets for a while now. But Matt continued to take his coffee breaks. It is sad that you all group these judges together. We have several really outstanding, hard working judges in this county and Jack is one of them.
David,
Did you have a sour pro se divorce or something? The woman is a work horse! Look at the numbers...............
Yes, HOLMES! Are you READY!?!? Bet all of you are crapping your pants!
