Anonymous, probably a PD writes this astonishing post:
the brummer machine is working overdrive to suppress free speech again! this time, on the internet. try to google justice building blog and see what comes up. bennet made john from his i.t. department flood the search engine with other sites in order to deny us Rumpole Blogger.
Rumpole responds: As you may have gleaned, we love to quote lines from literature. Certainly the Godfather and Star Wars ranks up there with Shakespeare and Yeats.
When we read your post, our thoughts immediately went to Princess Leia as she was about to be executed:
Governor Tarkin: Princess Leia, before your execution, you will join me at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.
Princess Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
If Brummer is tampering with the internet and trying to block access to this site, and we have no idea that he is doing that, then Brummer should return his ACLU award and hang his head in shame.
Plus, we will start referring to him as DARTH VADER, and we know the nickname will take off.
Clearly, the more he tries to suppress this blog- make it forbidden fruit if you will- the more his disgruntled employees will read and discuss it. WE WILL BE HEARD.
Before we invoke the Force and fight back, we invite other PDS to let us know if they believe this to be true and if they are being denied their right to free speech, this blog, and http://www.girlsgonewild/.
We just Googled ourselves, (first time ever).
We were alone.
The lights were low.
The door was closed.
And.. if you Google "Justice Building Blog"
We're number 1!!!
We come up first.
Does that happen on the PD computers?

Does Rumpole find disturbing former veteran ASPD Art Koch's charge that Mr. Brummer ordered him not to work the Chavez case up until after the Brummer/Norris election for fear of negative media coverage? Is Rumpole aware that Mr. Chavez has now raised this issue on rule 3? Rumpole, this charge seems more serious to us then then the Richardson settlement. Please humor us....
Rumpole replies:
That charge was made and has been publicized before . Mr. Koch, who we consider to be an unimpeachable source, based on his years as a top notch defense attorney and his reputation for truth, and professionalism, will probably be called to testify. We will be watching. We will also secure the rule 3 and review it. Anyone who can email it would save us some time. But don’t worry, we will get it. The truth will out.
If the allegation is true, then the charge is 1000 times more serious then la affair du Brummer.
Nothing, Nothing is more important and sacrosanct then an attorney’s duty and loyalty to represent his/her client to the very best of their ability.
Now we will take license and preach just a bit. We are proud of our profession.
The worse the charge, the more horrendous the allegations, the harder the attorney must strive to make sure he/she puts their personal feelings aside and give their client the best defense possible. Mr. Koch was an outstanding choice in that regard for the defense of a client charged with unspeakably horrific acts.
If, as we have written, prosecutors are vested with special powers, then defense attorneys are given special responsibilities. A client puts their life in your hands. The responsibility is awesome. It is a privilege not many people in their lifetime will ever enjoy.
If Brummer put personal or professional rewards over the interests of a client, he should be disciplined, impeached, and scorned.
Criminal defense attorneys in this City have accepted appointments to horrible cases that have affected their careers forever. Attorneys have accepted appointments in cases where clients have murdered police officers. Most knew that representation in that type of case meant: 1) little chance of ever being appointed a judge; 2) opposition from the police union if they ran for judge. 3) Scorn and even harassment from the community.
This issue bears watching, and as this blog seems to have established early on: people will be watching, and commenting.
Final thought: where was all this vitrol, accusations, and bad blood during the election? Could Gabe Martin have been that bad a candidate?
When you see something that is not right, not fair, find a way to get in the way and cause trouble. Congressman John Lewis

although I cannot verify this, I also heard that Brummer had his appeals section conflict on the appeal of Chavez so as not to get any bad publicity.
does anyone know what the real scoop on that was?
Rumpy: You should be ashamed. You claim to be promoting some type of thoughtful discussion regarding people and events around the Justice Building. The fact is, your blog has turned into a vehicle for the sore losers who backed the "Gabe" campaign and wish to circulate the same specious garbage that they used and failed to sway the electorate with. They lost because the public (but not Rumpole) is able to determine that an item is BS when they hear it. You guys LOST THE ELECTION. Get over it already. I'm a former PD who worked for several years in the office. It's irrelevant whether you like BHB. Whether you like him or not, you have to respect his body of work. He has given more than 30 years of his life to public service and has worked to establish a PD's Office that has a national reputation for excellence. That didn't happen by itself. Somebody has to establish the policies and get the money to make that happen. Do you think that their opponents across the street have the same high quality rep? More importantly, it was the absolute height of arrogance and ego mania for Martin and his supporters to have thought that a 4-year lawyer who tried a few second and third degree felonies could manage an office with 400 employees and a multi-million dollar budget without any previous tangible management experience. I'm sure that they don't know what the PDO funding formula is, and I'm certain that some of them can't spell it. Rumpy, does experience count? The voters figured it did.
Lastly, I thought you were a criminal defense lawyer? Most of us presume the charged to be innocent and wait for matters to get a full hearing before coming to conclusions. Most everything that the "Gabers" have alleged has turned out to be BS. The Koch thing will likely be another. Keep it up. Your blog makes the National Enquirer look like the NY Times. This is my first and last post. There has to be better things to do with our time. Have fun.
I'll bet that is not his last post.
Andrew Stanton(a.p.d.), is one of the best criminal appeals lawyers in miami. he sat through the chavez case in order preserve the record. after chavez was convicted, the case was taken from stanton and farmed out to some private atty with $ from the pd budget. 30k to be exact. if you see andy, ask him if he in fact ghost wrote the appeal after he read the first draft which was garbage. brummer for life....
Brummer did tell the lawyers to sit on Chavez until after the election. More then one attorney in the PD's office knows this to be true and aren't particularily shocked about it.
