  You go Alex, you deserve this. This just shows how the newspapers can keep the truth out of the main stream newspapers to keep their pidgeon feeding the information true or not. Even ostrow would have taken finkelstein out if he didn't run into the same problems, well maybe not as bad, as finkelstein.

  If Ostrow, or anyone, wants to put a wrench in the works now, they need to sue Brenda Snipes to force her to allow R's and I's to be able to vote in the PD race between Howard and Alex. Florida is usually a closed primary state, but when there's no opposition in the general, the primary's supposed to be thrown open.
  
  Logistically, it would impossible to print new ballots at this point. Logically, the remedy would be to put the now-opened PD "primary" onto the general election ballots for November (and void the votes cast in the closed primary).

  The bad judges strike out again. Way to go Finkelstein the only one who cares about Broward's poor.

  As black as it must seem for Arreaza righ now, it's somehow satisfying that he has to suffer another six days before his fate is sealed for good.
  He chose his opponent for all the wrong reasons and at the bidding of all the wrong people, and look what he's accomplished.
  If he had run a good campaign he might have at least come out of this with a little integrity.

  You two are delusional and pathological liars. Keep blowing it up your noses and watch Alex fire you cruds.

  It actually may have been with what he'd probably been told initially. But, alas, reality has to seep back into the picture at some point. Maybe Alex should run for judge next. He'd have a better chance.

  11:01 is right. He should run for judge. He is certainly dumb enough.

  A similiar humiliating fate awaits Arreazza. He will maybe get 15-20% of the vote. He'll show back up at work, just like Jim Lewis. He loses very race he enters and the next day he's back in court like nothing happened. These people are unbeliveable.
  
  Mardi comes to mind when we speak of "ass beatin". HAHHAHHAH
  
  Congradulations Howard. You are a good man.

  Another Rosscite bites the dust in a bewildering array of antics reminiscent of the Keystone Cops.
  It's remarkable just how many people succumb to the lure of power and influence (and public office). Particularly when it's being perceived as being handed to them by the King of Court Jesters, Dale and Co.
  Let them now contemplate their actions.

  We think Ostrow was in the right race, running for Broward Public Defender, it looked as though doing coke and anyother drug was just a prerequisite. How much was Howard arrested with? Wasn't Howard driving a car and crashed into another one with large amounts of drugs? Ostrow was just hurting himself, Howard was putting alot of others at risks, and what was he going to do with all those drugs? Ostrow .09 grams of coke. vs howard's large amounts? Go Alex

  Did anybody really think this was going to end any other way? Now Arreaza will screech to an end somewhere between home and first base to the words YOU'RE OUT.

  Ostrow dropped out when he dropped that vial of coke in his breast pocket. That doesn't make him a bad guy. Gary is one of the best lawyers in town. Stick to business Gary and leave dirty politics to the slimeballs. We're all with you buddy.

  Not such a hot job fellas. You had your egos stroked by the wrong people, people that don't have the courage except to watch you get sacrificed for the sake of their own arrogance. Now whose holding the bag?

  I can only feel bad about the situation Gary finds himself in. I wish he would not have listened to those that talked him into running when they knew and didn't care about the problems it might cause for him. This place is full of people that lack courage themselves so they prey on others. They should be ashamed of themselves for creating this problem for Gary. No one deserves these problems.

  - Ashamed for creating problems for Gary? Gary created his own problems and hopefully he will get the help he needs.

  Screw Ostrow. He is not a victim, he is a loser. He thought he was a player and got burned real bad. He is a junkie. He is soft and undisciplined, I am glad he is toast. Arreaza awaits the same humiliating fate good riddance. Gary you picked the losing side I am glad you failed. You would have been a huge disservice to Browrad;s indigent population. That goes for you too Arreaza... meat shhhittt and die buddy.

  To speak so badly of Gary does him and yourself a disservice for he is one of the most avid defenders of people's rights that I know of.
  Gary's mishap is indeed a tragedy but it's not something that couldn't have happened to allot of us under the right circumstances.
  Gary has been a friend to those in need on many occasions guaranteeing him what should be a place in all our hearts.
  I agree that perhaps he should not have allowed himself to be talked into something that he should have avoided like the plague, but I can't say that Gary is all the things I'm reading about him.
  I only wish him God speed in resolving the difficult matters that lay before him and hope that he can continue to do the great job he's done for anyone that sought his help.

  I only aspire to be as perfect and flawless as the ways of my critics and detractors. I constantly aim for perection, just like the kind all of the anonymous blog donors possess but no matter how much effort I devote, I always seem to fall short of that idealic perfection thats so very elusive, at least to me. I am confident that should I persist in my efforts, that one day, no matter how long it takes, I will be as great a human being and as talented an advocate as each and every anonymous critic who has so articulately taken shots at me from behind a blog......Now thats the type of character I can only dream of ever attaining!! Having the balls to kick while down and hide my spineless ass behind a courthouse slander machine. Despite my faults and imperfections,I strive as a professional to get the best results for my clients and, unlike too many prosecutors in Broward, do not find myself reduced to resorting to underhanded, dishonest and unjust measures to claim the prize. I can honestly say that there exists a recurring and inevitable theme in Broward County criminal justice(?) where whats fair and just means squat and the almighty conviction is paramount. I see virtually zero prosecutorial discretion (look it up) and the mentality of such a powerful office concerns itself not with justice and the honour and respect of our fading constitution, but simply engages in a concerted effort to maul as many human beings as possible because they can. Until that fateful day when I reach the top of the mountaintop where my anonymous critics apparently exist, I guess I will continue to accept that for now, I am only human and within those limitations, fight for the rights of those who are victimized by a blind, deaf and rather dumb political machine that is so unfortunately braindead, that its only when you experience true justice in another place, do you realize what a disgraceful system of injustice remains intact, way too often in Broward county law and disorder. I dont know what I was thinking when I went north.......I must have been high!! I now have a deeper mappreciation for my freedom as a sole practicioner with an intact practice that, by the grace of god, gives me the ability to make my mark for those less fortunate and stand up to a system that cares not for what is true justice and serving others but is more concerned with statistics than human beings.

  Ostrow, love him or hate him, makes a good point. We are all responsible for the pathetic state of affairs in browards system of criminal justice. When the state has no authority to apply the foreign concept of compassion, fairness, discretion or judgment to cases that, each and every one, differ in countless ways but are viewed as if identical. Its nothing less than a nightmare that, like Ostrow, I have been unable to wake up from for years as a defense lawyer......yea.....25 years for the opiate-addicted teacher who possessed a bottle of trafficking amounts of hydrocodone to support her habit....thats broward county....its a disgrace and far too mamy defense lawyers are putting up with it!! Ostrow's biggest flaw is his failure to accept the twisted ways of browards criminal justice system!! The guy should be saluted!

  I for one will be forever indebted to Ostrow for showing me that there is still justice in the broward system although he may be the last one standing to defend it. All these critics so ready to jump on him when they see a chink in his armor are just jealous. They know that never even on their BEST day did they have the heart, skills or vocabulary to be the type of atty. that Ostrow is. He is someone that I admire for many reasons ranging from his professionalism and talent, to his search for defending those caught in the twisted wheels of today's legal system, to his non-comformist dress code of bright ties and jeans..Ostrow may have made a mistake or even worse, he may actually be human like the rest of us and subject to errors in judgement in his personal life. But, let's face it..all the people on these blogs aren't taking an interest him for any other reason than the fact that they were or are somehow threatened by his ability to..despite all his personal garbage..still be the best damn attorney I have ever seen in a courtroom. I would bet my last dollar that half of these bloggers are political and professional enemies with the other half being scorned women and ex-friends. I for one Ostrow will never forget the good you have done nor will I be so quick to allow it to be overshadowed by nonsense like this. If you guys are going to take down every alleged law enforcement, legal system person with some type of drug in their system..you had better start by building a much bigger jail. Go Ostrow, go forward, you've still got support!

  Gary, you're a good man. And you've done your best as you have repeatedly shown on every occasion for your clients and stand for what you believe in which is more than I cn say for many.
  No need to concern yourself with detractors. Everybody has them. Stick with what you believe in and people will believe in you. They already do. You have no idea.
