JAABCAM
1.) "I'm running." Peter Weinstein, pictured with his long term deputy Tony Sutera this afternoon. The gregarious Weinstein confirmed he's seeking the Chief Judgeship, but wouldn't elaborate. The word on the street is he's already got the votes; 2.) This week's celebrity juror is ... Sue Gunzburger; 3.) What's the statute of limitations on petit theft? APD Don Cannarozzi makes his second consecutive JAABCAM appearance, this time holding a trophy from his days in Thomas Coker's division. Coker, who retired in the 1990's, was yet another Broward judge who unabashedly used the "N Word" behind the scenes, without a peep of protest from our beloved justice seekers at the SAO. The jargon may have changed, but poor non-violent minorities still go to prison at unprecedented rates in good 'ole Broward; 4.) Where's Lee Jay? The chairs in front of the North Wing elevators seem strangely empty since Seidman's loss, since he's no longer holding hallway court every day after clearing his regular docket by 9:15 AM; 5.) Chief APD Gordon Weekes, Howard Finkelstein, and John Frusciante. It's too bad nobody ever ran against the retiring Frusciante, since the benefit concert would have been a real blast; 6.) 1st Step Sober House's Mike Fein has a secret message for the jury, if he's called to testify in the ongoing trial of the accused killer of his friend and mentor Richard Entriken.
APDs (for now) Mindy Solomon & Sandra Perlman

Why won't Mike Satz let his people achieve their dreams too?
Coming soon: The Seidman's Strike Back ...
Robert Nichols for Judge in 2012!
After a razor thin loss against an entrenched incumbent, Nichols will be the front-runner in the next election.
Standby for campaign updates...!
What happened to Bidwill?
Ok Bob, your starting to scare me this is really not funny. Your writing posts and answering them in the middle of the night and every one knows you keep posting about the next election. I think you need some professional help. A loss is a loss no matter if it's by a mile or "razor thin." Trust me you will lose again next time so do yourself a favor and get a grip.
oh No, not a politician with no guts. Mister, let me please all of the people all of the time
Here's a ticket Bob Nichols and Mardi Ann Levey Cohen. One could run for judge, the other could be the JA
why don't you light up another one gelin or is your head too far up the rat's ass?
I like judge Weinstein and Ttony but I feel so sorry for those elevator cables. You can almost hear them stretching and screaming.
I agree with the above poster that the questionable loss to Rebollo should not deter him. Perhaps he was ripped off, but that should not deter all of us from rallying behind him in the coming months.
If the battleground is chosen carefully and Nichols maintains and builds on the alliances established without budget, I have to concur with "In re: Nichols".
Interesting article on the various judges use of social media - Rebollo came out well. This could be a factor in the next set of races...

Nichols could you please take the time to enlighten us just how the hell you think you were ripped off? Dude, YOU LOST. Trust me, NO ONE likes you and NO ONE is going to rally behind you or in front of you or on the side of you. It's a damn shame your being this type of a role model for your sons, how sad.
Nichols won in every way except the final tally. He will be a force in 2012.
Anyone willing to give up a lucrative PIP/criminal practice for a pay cut has to be taken seriously.
Lucrative business my AZZ, if it was so lucrative why r u in that crappy building. BTW, IF MARDI ANN JINGLEHEIMERSCHMIDT WINS JUDGESHIP, THE EARTH WILL TILT ON ITS AXIS.
Robert Nichols has established a political base. How does anyone explain how Rodriguez beat a Jewish female handily but Rebollo won by the skin of his teeth. If Nichols had one more week in the campaign we would be saying "Judge Nichols" right now.
Speaking of stretching elevator cables -
Anyone else think Gordon Weeks looks a little chuncky??? - time to hit the treadmill big fella!!!
To: 10:41
Better check your spell check - but I agree the belly runneth over...
Satzie was friends with Futch.
It says a lot about the man.
.
Gelin blogs that Judge Thomas Coker “unabashedly used the “N Word" behind the scenes”.
In the almost 20 years that I tried cases before Judge Thomas Coker before he retired, I never once heard Judge Coker use the “N” word, behind the scenes or otherwise”.
The “N” word that would be applicable to Thomas Coker is “noble”, as in a true gentleman. However, neither noble nor gentleman would be applicable to one who recklessly blogs untruths about the now deceased.
Not true Mark. Ask around.
Hey Springer, what about your pal Futch?
hey bill, did you have to use a wide angle lens for weinstein and his bailiff?
When Weinstein said "I'm running" I almost fell off my chair. It looks like walking may be a chore. Those 2 give new meaning to the size, "husky".
isn't weinstein good friends with stacey ritter
god help us all
Open the Draw Bridge Igor
Thank your wife for that loss dude.
Satz will never lawyers run. It threatens him.
If it was so lucrative then why would he run for judge? He certainly did not win in every way. He got a total of one endorsement, the tea party crazies. That tells you all you need to know about this reckless group of morons.
He is going down the tubes fast and so his practice, his marriage and now apparently his sanity. Bob, you could always try AZ or TX cause your cooked in FL
WHAT POLITICAL BASE? LOL THE TEACRAPPERS?
If his law firm is so lucrative why did he list under $100,000. for his yearly income? Did he forget we all know G.W. his former partner? Does this mean the foreclosure notices will stop?
as to Weinstein, he looks great, you should have seen him a few years back
We can do better than Weinstein. I'm thinking new blood.
True Coker story:
When an ASA went to Coker and asked what he could do to win the thousand foot purchase/three year min mandatory/ manufactured crack cases, the Honorable TC replied: "you gotta get those n----rs off your jury!"
But at least he was fair when it came to sentencing.
Yes he put people in the chair regardless of race!
What's Springer smoking? Retirement sounds like one heck of a party!
I wouldn't take the opinion on anyone from the SAO when it comes to race.
"N" for "Noble" indeed.
How many innocent black people (and their families) have they destroyed?
THe SAO never stood up to corruption or racism in 30 years. Easier to kick all hell out of the powerless and mentally ill and pretend to be tough. They stand for nothing.
bullshit
"How many innocent black people (and their families) have they destroyed?"
you want to know about destroyed lives?? why don't you ask the victims (and their families) of GUILTY black defendants about destroyed lives. you might just get some interesting insight from their answers.
How to tell who is guilty or innocent?
Everybody lies includes the defdt, victim, police, and court lawyers.
What a system.
Don't forget the judges "based on the credibility of the witnesses I find" The little guy never has a chance.
If that's what Don looks like with just a tank on, I want to see the rest. Amazing how deceiving clothes can be.
What's your story, Don?!?!?
