WHY DOESN'T THE SAO FILE CANNABIS RESIDUE CASES?
IS IT SIGNIFICANT THAT COCAINE RESIDUE CASES HAVE A WILDLY
DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES?
ARE ALL DRUG USERS TREATED EQUALLY IN BROWARD COUNTY?

A very nice person not connected to the SAO called Wednesday and asked very nicely for the house party pictures to be taken down. Since we aim to please, and because the point was obviously made (but mostly because they asked so politely), the pictures have been removed. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

Are you really comparing weed to crack? I'm against residue cases too... But are you really comparing weed (not physically addictive) drug to CRACK!? I mean really? Are you for real?
Weed residue vs coke residue what's the difference? A drug addict is a drug addict.
The difference is that one drug is physically addictive and can destroy a person and make them do anything for their next hit ( remember pookie on new Jack city?) and the other can give you the munchies. You can not compare the two.
They don't file residue cases (powder or crack like Mike) in Palm Beach or Miami. Violent crime is decreasing at a much greater rate in those counties than it does here, despite our dwindling population. Why does the SAO feel the need to load people up with felonies with what is treated as a one day in jail paraphernalia misdemeanor in other places? Is that why there is more crime here? Because of hopelessness and desperation and the purposeful proliferation of poverty? And please, don't start spouting cooked Powertrak stats to say Broward is safer. It's not. Open the paper any day if you think otherwise. They could decide to file residue cases on specific violent bad guys but no. They give everyone a felony and F up their lives.
I agree they shouldn't file them. For most people that is an illness, like alcoholism. But font compare it to weed. Cocaine can destroy families, weed doesn't. You loose credibility for your argument by comparing it to weed. There are plenty of reasons to not file residue cases- resource allocation, they are a hard sell to juries, unfair... Ect. But just don't try to make it seem like weed and crack are equal drugs- they are not.
Mike Satz makes no distinction. Remember "The law is the law" and all that discredited mumbo jumbo? Trafficking charges for non-sellers is a good example. The only difference to the SAO is if someone has political or financial juice (Huizenga and the nearly killed old man, Mercer and the possession charges - yes it was PBch that handled that yuk yuk, Adderley no min-mans). If he believes his own spew he should file residue cases pursuant to statute on every weed case. But you know he won't because that could hit the rich kids too.
"Cocaine can destroy families, weed doesn't."
That is a valid point but not the SAO's rationale. They say what is quoted above:
"It is well documented by law enforcement that people using drugs are actively involved in all sorts of criminal activities such as burglaries, robberies, and violent crimes."
He said "drugs" not "cocaine"! Is he saying blacks commit more crime, since mostly blacks get residue cases? Why isn't he raiding college dorms and handing out weed cahrges to everyone with a dirty bong? "People using drugs are actively involved in all sorts of criminal activities such as burglaries, robberies, and violent crimes!!!!" They must be stopped!! Alert Nova security now!
Uh, I hate to break this up, but does anyone know who the people in the pictures are?
I hate the residue cases.
I feel they serve no purpose but for allowing police to clear homeless people from the streets.
Wow raiding someones personal photo album for your own mocking. Ken Mikos and Eddie McGee look like they are having a grand old time. Isn't McGee Hurley and Williams treasurer?
That looks like many of the major SAO high ups back then, Mikos, McGee, Satz, those guys were what chuck morton is now. Gotta be a few others SAO's in those pics. wow. looks like a great time what a better time to practice law in this town
Adjudicator: put down the computer and take in the mountain air...
Wow. Which ones are the SAO higher ups? The ones at dinner or the ones with the doobie?
So this Sherry chick was married to Satz and then Mikos. One has to wonder, looking at those pics she worked he way around SAO. If you look through those pics there is a pic of a kid playing pool, seriously where they smoking pot around children?
He wasn't married to her. He's never been married. That was a story that went around that helped creepy single guy win the election.
What's the point of this post?
Mike doesn't bust his friends?
That's news?

to all u great attorneys who constantly harp and bitch on the residue issue. have any of you aver defended a residue case, if so..... i hope u gave your client a fair shake.. how many actually did any work on the case and actually filed a motion to dismiss,,, how many of you great legal minds even know what that is... sorry for the sarcasm but this is the third time ive posted this same message. does anyone actually believe the legislature in its great collective wisdom ever intended something that is unusable [cant get one high] to be illegal. it must be a usable amount... a few years ago BSo lab did a study of paper money and found a high percentage to have powder residue, can you see the cops checking every 100 dollar bill for residue.. stop the black argument and do your homework and file the appropriate motion, u might be shocked by the result. i believe the great majority of the sao would like to get rid of residue cases but as long as it says cocaine they cant.
Wasnt there an old newspaper article on here that showed that lady and satz as Mr & Mrs Satz? One thing for a rumor but did they actually lie to the media?
"The difference is that one drug is physically addictive and can destroy a person and make them do anything for their next hit ( remember pookie on new Jack city?)"
So that's what crack does? Are you serious? You sound like 70 year old Satz himself, taking your cues from 80's movies because he has no idea of the real world.
The truth is cocaine in any form is a killer. But it doesn't turn people into zombies either, except after years of abuse that correspondingly breaks down mental capacity as you go along. It's all about early intervention and rehab.
As far as the BS breaking into houses routine, save it for the campaign trail when Satz and his buddies will need you to trot out the borderline racist fear/smear routine. Of course no one will mention the reality - that crackheads are either sleeping in their own urine on the street, turning tricks or selling small amounts to feed their habit.
That's why the SAO's policies are so destructive. Instead of focusing on early intervention and rehab, they convict and punish, assuring a lifetime cycle of abuse and street level drug sellers. And please don't spout Broward's progressive drug courts - everyone knows Satz fought them tooth and nail and now has the gall to take credit for them.
Residue cases might be appropriate in cases where people have proven recent violent or burglary priors (last ten years, maybe). But to file felonys on every offender is destructive and cruel.
You think the black guy in this pic and any of his kids and grand kids got sent to prison by satz?

to clarify mike was never married to sherry, she was an employee of the sao and a friend of all. she was married to kenny mikos, a fine local probate attorney at the time.. sherry has since passed but, from knowing her any man would have been honored to be in her presense, and to add, kenny mikos has posted here under his own name till he was attacked by certain anonymous posters, have a great holiday....
"i believe the great majority of the sao would like to get rid of residue cases but as long as it says cocaine they cant."
Wrong - they don't file these cases in Palm Beach or Miami.
As far as the attorneys carrying the ball, why should they? Why is it up to the defendant to prove their innocence on a cheap SAO CYA charge? Why doesn't the SAO just act responsibly? Is it the community's fault that they are too chicken to make a call that other SAO's already have to not file these?

are u saying they do not file because they think its legal,,, or, is it based more on the theme of expediency, too many cases and limited resourses are better spent on other battles, till a court rules a non usable amount is legal, i believe, it will be filed in broward and dam the court dockets..
NCISS - Nazi Council of Intruders and Stalkers represent pvt eyes , lawyers and AIPAC in their assaults on privacy to enable scott rothstein , Daniel Zachem , PAUL BERGRIN , Francine Koehler and rabbi LEVY IZHAK ROSENBAUM to promote zionist fifth column takeover of the judeciary .
Sherry was a class act. A good and loyal friend, may she rest in piece. I cant believe her daughter gave her permission to publish her private photos. I wouldnt want to be you people when Ken Mikos finds out about this.
Too bad they put them on the web for all to see. No password protection - published to the www years ago.

So it appears Satz had friends who were drug users?
Not surprising, considering he still hires people who used drugs. Just ask any of the lawyers who took the poly to get hired. Some admit to drug use in the past and still get the job of putting poor people away for using drugs.
It doesn't make sense, especially considering Satz's statement that drug users all commit other crimes. It also doesn't make sense that so many lawyers take the money and follow the orders, despite having done drugs too without getting caught.
Doesn't it seem that Satz is giving one class of people a break and the benefit of the doubt (the educated), while showing no mercy to another (poor minorities)?
Another good question to me is did Satz ever hire any drug dealers? How can that be explained if its true?
Jim Tylock for State Attorney!
Satz should be ousted on his head out of office. Lets say someone put in there until the new election. Just saying.Gov Christ were are you.Do your job. All these crimes right under his nose, and eyes. Broward is in dire need of protection from this man, Lord help us all. Mike how do you sleep at night.
Do you even believe in God Better yet his son Jesus. GIANTS DO DIE THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL. AMEN.
You are so obsessed with the man, makes me think you might be in love with him.
Maybe the SAO would file weed residue cases if the crime lab had more man power?
Maybe white people should use more cocaine so it will be less racist for the SAO to prosecute residue?
Maybe the PoPo should arrest less blacks for residue?
Maybe the cops dont go raid college dorms b/c any idiot of us defense attorneys (ex. the poster of this blog) could win that motion to suppress?
Would not filing residue cases make violent crime go down?
And yes, im sure thats a doobie in the picture... Oh wait, maybe its a handrolled cigarette? Idiot for making ASSumptions.
6:45 makes the same point as the blog.
There is racism in Broward.
I wonder if that was his intent?
Sadly, your comment speaks volumes of truth.
For as long as it remains easier to prey on the weak and disenfranchised, they will always suffer.
For as long as the rich and powerful remain rich and powerful, they will remain immune from the destruction of the failed drug war.
I do, however, take great exception to your comment about Whites doing less cocaine than Blacks. That is a fallacy and probably borne from your days working in Broward criminal courts. The truth is Whites consume and sell cocaine at levels that greatly eclipse other populations, except they have the luxury of doing it, as you mention, behind college dorm walls and behind the walls of their gated communities.
How sad for all of that we don't have a leader at the SAO. All we have is a man who is content to go along the path of least resistance instead of stopping drugs and crime wherever they exist, even when those same policies wreak carnage on our poorest communities.
"Maybe the cops dont go raid college dorms b/c any idiot of us defense attorneys (ex. the poster of this blog) could win that motion to suppress?"
So now Satz bases his general filing policies on whether the charge will stick? Huh? You say you practice here?
But you might be right. Dorm cases might be suppressed because police lies aren't tolerated when rich people are watching like they are when you only have the word of a poor Black guy against a bunch of crooked raiders.
"Would not filing residue cases make violent crime go down?"
It doesn't. They don't file them in PB or Miami, where violent crime is trending down at a much greater rate than in Broward.
Yes, I do. I am one of them. You'll also find my exwife and one of my kids. What's the question?
