WELCOME TO THE OFFICE OF THE DADE PUBLIC DEFENDER:
They defend the worst this community has to offer.
Accused of murder, sexual assault, child abuse, clients march into the Dade County Public Defenders office confident that they will be treated with respect and dignity.
All are welcome, and the young and dedicated attorneys who staff that offfice have taken oaths to defend their clients to the best of their ability.
Yes, all of society’s downtrodden and outcast are welcome and provided succor and assistance when they trod through the doors at 1320 NW 14th Street.
But for a certain exclusive club of lawyers, ex-employees of Bennett Brummer, it’s a different story.
You see, these lawyers are
BANNED
from the Law Offices Of Bennett Brummer, the elected Dade County Public Defender.
Like a bloated and corrupt ruler of the apprachik that one would expect to find in the former Soviet Union and not Miami, Brummer comes down hard on all who dare oppose his thirty plus year reign.
The "terrible two" PD's who ran against Brummer in the last election (Gabe Martin and Lonnie Richardson) are rumored to be banned.
So too is the elegant Lynn Overmann, who is such a good lawyer that earlier this year she managed not only to have charges against her client dismissed, but the officer who arrested him arrested himself for perjury.
"Country” Dave Pettus is rumored to have a restraining order against him.
What in the name of Nixonian Paranoia is going on at 1320 NW 14th Street?
Engage in some perceived slight against the Czar of 14th Street, and out you go!
Why would anyone care about being banned from the PD’s office?
The office is used by criminal defense attorneys to take depositions of prosecution witnesses in criminal cases. In many cases where multiple defendants are accused of a crime in the same case, the Public Defenders office has the responsibility to schedule depositions and coordinate the schedules of the attorneys working on the case.
But when you are part of the few, the proud, the banned, no depositions for you.
You are reduced to being turned away at the door and the whole lot – attorneys, court reporters, and witnesses have to trudge in the summer heat around the corner with their tails between their legs to the State Attorneys Office and hold out their hands and beg like the orphaned attorneys they are:
”Please sir may I have a depo room?”
Moral Of the Story:
You can be accused of any crime, and no matter how horrid the accusations, Bennett Brummer and his lawyers are there to help.
Just don’t insult the grand poobah of the poor; the Czar of 14th Street; the big kahunna of indigent defense.
Because if you do, you are tried, convicted, and banned.
All without benefit of Judge or Jury (or even the Public Defenders)
See You In Court.
PS: We almost managed to do an entire post about the PD’s office and not mention Mr. Stein and his morning Danish.
Almost.

Weird.
Rumpole this is one of your worst post.
I agree making fun of someone who has dedicated his life to helping the weak, poor and less fortunate is wrong.
You sir should be a ashamed of yourself.
you have changed rumpole. I am gone forever
why would you make up such lies against one of dade counties very few heros?
Brummer a honest broker in the scam county we call miami and you make fun of him with such misleading info
Rumpole you are better than this
I cant understand how you could take a good humored blog and turn it into a libel machine against a good man.
I am with the above people on this
the question is what did brummer do to you rumpole to make you express such hate
At the rate you are going sir and since your bills are piling up you RUMPOLE may need this honorable man one day to come to your defense when the FDLE raid you and take your cmputer full of lies.
Remember this day Rumpole as it will be the one in which you ended a good thing.
over and out
That is horrible rump
Rumpole I thought you had class.
I was wrong.
when you think of bennet you think of kind gentle words of peace, love and happiness.
Is it me or is rumpole angry
Just read it . WHY!
Not since Judge Rothenberg wrote her last opinion have I witnessed such non-sense
does justice even exist in dade county. here you spend 30 years doing nothing but helping poor people and some jerk makes a blog libels you all for what.
Rumpole go fuck yourself.
THE LAST TEN POST WERE ALL WRITTEN BY EITHER BENNETT'S WIFE OR BENNETT HIMSELF. JESUS. GIVE ME A BREAK ALREADY. GROW SOME SKIN GUYS. RUMPOLE DIDNT SLANDER ANYONE WITH THIS ARTICLE. HE MERELY STATED FACTS WITH A TWIST OF SATIRE.
One day rumpole you name will be in the herald and your bar license revoked then and only then will I get a good laugh.
If truth be told, Gabe, Dave, Lynn and Lonnie are ex-employees who chose to mount an insurrection and lost. They did so without class or honor. There is a difference between disagreement and name-calling. All 4 practice the latter. It's not true, obviously, but I wouldn't want them in my office either.
8:48 grow up and smell the coffee look what this guy has done to a decent honest man
So because of name calling, they are not allowed in your office?
BUT WHY CAN'T THESE LAWYERS COME IN THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE? I AM CONFUSSED.
next year I am collecting signatures at dolphin mall to get Rumpoles blof banned in Florida.
It will be state statue: 5656(1) (a):
Rumpole blog ban:
(a) He who thinks of blogging under the name of Rumnpole.
(b) he who does blog under the name rumpole.
(c) he who is rumpole.
(ii) has committed a class 2 felonny punishiable as described under section 774.00. with two exceptions.
(a) exception shall mean.
(iii) (a) i work for the goverment.
(b) i am a sitting judge.
(c) i am juan d'arce and doind a blog about Rumpole helps pass the time under a 20 year public corruption prison sentence.
Rumpole. One person stayed up all night and wrote out a bunch of posts in advance and then rapid fired them as soon as they rolled out of bed. I suspect they were written by someone with plenty of government tenure.
8:56 you do not give rumpole enough credit. He has more than two blog visitors a day.
For what it's worth, I thought the post was kinda funny.
8:48 slander is apoken and libel is written.
You will not be representing me in a libel suit because ..... wait for it...... you dont know shit
thats spoken
8:48:40 and 8:53:46, you are wrong (so far). Rump did NOT state "facts" he repeated a rumor. There is a difference, you know. Unless there is confirmation of this "ban" it remains nothing more than a rumor. Unless the rumor is proven to be true, it really is pretty classless to be giving it legs, as Rump has done.
For the record Country Dave is banned. He tried to take a deposition at the LOBHB two weeks ago with co-counsel and was not permitted entry. It is fact.

CAPTAIN OUT .................
Captain, I don't know where you got the info. but you got the #'s COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!! Try again. It can't be that hard.
he's referrimg, i think, to the #s on the DCBA ballot, not the official M-D ballot.
It seems like the BHB PR team and associated lackeys was rearing to go this morning.
Can we move on?
We are all tired of bashing:
1. Brummer
2. D'Arce
3. Judge Hernandez
Can we pleeeeeeezzzzzeeeee find someone new to bash?
Why should we stop bashing? It's fun to expose people in power who get cought with their pants down. Your probably one of Brummer's loyalists who can't take the heat. Try private pratice. You can do it!
I just have one question.
Are these people banned from the office?
Thank you.
People who assume those positions of authority and power have an obligation to ensure that they uphold the high standards that we expect. The Public Defender fights for everyman defending the rights we all expect to enjoy. A Judge protects those rights by ensuring that decisions are made solely on the basis of the law and facts, and not by reason of politics or business. Not only should breaches of the public trust be trumpeted, we should applaud them and condemn those public officials that betray our trust. Can't say it loud enough if you ask me. And we must encourage people to vote for their opponents.
Where's the proof?
Is it just me, or were the first 10 or so comments written by the same person?
the proof is in the pudding you idiot - cant you see that??????
Brummer folks got out early today, but it was a little too obvious, what with all the posts coming one after another. The reality is that Lonnie was banned b/c he was fired after taunting BHB in public at the MLK parade in "04. Lynn was banned b/c she supposedly misused office equipment during the campaign. And Dave was banned b/c he was so arrogant and disrespectful of all the authorites over there.
Theres nothing wrong with the post- except that its just not written funny...
Yeah- Faber and the Brummer supporters in PD wrote the comments backing Brummer
GO GABE 2008!!!
So it's true - lawyers are being banned from the PDO, now lets talk about that, and not how horrible it is that Rumpole wrote about it.
Exactly!!!
Is Gabe banned? B/c when he wins this time around (2008) he can respond by banning Brummer!!!
Gabe aint winning shit in "08. Focus on getting Rod V> to run and maybe we can talk. And this is from one of the banned persons--yes, its true all 3 of us are banned b/c we were a little too vocal against Vladimir Brummer.
THANK YOU 10:43; and to 10:31, I said the Dade County Bar Poll, not the official election ballot.
VOTE.
Captain Out .......................
BTW, Captain is a Brummer employee.
captain do you have the #'s for the official election?
Faber will lose badly, Rumpy. This is MIAMI!! No whites allowed (at least not over a cuban) VIVA LA RAZA!
1. The Captain is NOT a Brummer employee.
2. and, NO, I do not yet have the official election numbers.
Captain is too informed to work for Brummer.
Would Gabe, Lonnie, or Dave like to tell the readers some of the things that they did to the Bennett supporters? Like the violent things you would threaten to those who dared to challenge your lies?
Fact is that you were all losers - even before you lost the election. Just ask some of the privates who've had to take your cases and clean up your messes. Sad then, even worse now. I know it's difficult to find something to do since you can't get clients but reverting to bashing your former boss is pathetic.
okey dokey...thisa hera ah motion to suppressah is aahhh a say ah say ah say denied. Bailiff ah say ah say ah say...bring in da jureee.
Nobody is getting Rumpole's point. His point (which I think was well done and funny) was that how can the PD be afraid of these lawyers to the extent they are BANNED and yet not be afraid of the denizens of criminals that frequent their office. I can make a logical and coherent argument that Rumpole is right and Bennett looks poorly when held up to the light of reason and intelligence. (smack smack, chomp chomp)
fake calvin mapp is not fake calvin mapp, otherwise he would have posted the plea colloquy of mapp:
ASA: Judge, the defendant is going to plea guilty to DUI, 1st minimums.
Defense Atty: That's correct Judge
Judge Mapp: So be it, next case.
By The Power vested in me by The State Of Florida, County Of Dade, and the doctrine of the Divine Right of PD's I hereby issue the following ORDER and it is further ADJUDGED:
1)RUMPOLE is banned from the 14th street PD Complex. Because there is a controversy, Milt Hersch, Rick Freedman, Phil Reisenstein, are all banned until one of them is proven to be RUMPOLE.
2) ANY AND EVERY PD who reads this blog is FIRED AND BANNED.
3) Judge Will Thomas is BANNED from my Kingdom because he's an ex-PD and acts like a putz on the bench.
4) I HAVE ORDERED THE FDLE TO CONDUCT AN INTENSIVE INVESTIGATION AND TO BRING ME RUMPOLE IN CHAINS TO MY KINGDOM, WHERE HE SHALL BE IMPRISONED UNTIL I DECIDE OTHERWISE.
SO SAY: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, WIZZARD OF 14TH STREET, THE ONE WHO SLEEPS IN HIS CAR IN THE GABLES, THE ONE WHO BANS ALL AND LETS RORY STEIN SORT IT OUT, THE GREAT AND AWFUL, MIGHTY AND BALD, BENNET BRUMMER.
kindly act accordingly.
Rumpole - please ask this august (pronounced awe-gust) body if they can clarify the set up of the CABA judicial poll.
It asks whether the judges are exceptionally qualified, qualified, or unqualified.
It then asks "Does the Judge/Candidate treat Hispanics fairly and equitably as well as demonstrate a responsiveness to their needs?"
I have several questions:
1. How do we determine whether a Judicial candidate treats hispanics fairly and equitably?
2. What is considered unfair and not equitable when dealing with hispanics?
3. What does it mean to be "responsive to their needs?" I thought they needed Justice?
Help me Rumpole.
I'm running for PD. Mishkin in 2008- I can't wait. Mishkin-tanned, rested, ready for the job.
Now there is an order I wish I wrote when I was Judge Good job Bennet my boy. (chomp chomp smack smack)
omg is this blog a riot. Every time a click on a "fake" name I laugh.
I'm the real fake rumpole, not the real rumpole and not the fake rumpole. I'd like to see baldy Brummer throw me out. Why...I'd step on his toes and pinch his nose, and bop him on the head like Moe did to Shemp and then grab him by his ear like Moe did to Curly, and then...why...just let him try...let him try.
Brummer has been a good and decent public servant for 30 years.
If he wants to start banning lawyers from the building, thats his right.
I'm banned from the PD's office???
Just whose building is it? For that matter why is it "The Law Offices of Bennett Brummer"? when in fact its the Office of the Public Defender of Dade County, Florida. For a guy who never goes to court and tries a case, what an ego this guy has. Thank goodness that the blog can chop this jerk down to size.
I'd fight Brummer. I'd take a swing at him if he banned me.
I'm with Jason
stop it who ever you are. I am laughing so hard I fell off my chair. just stop it.
can someone please help me? I need translation to English from whatever language that Adrien was doing his pleas this morning. My client was confused, so was I. What was that about? chill out, man.
Please note that The Captain has not only not been banned from the PD's office, but we have full access to the 5th floor executive washroom.
CAPTAIN OUT .............
I stand behind Mr. Brummer. In these tough times we need strong leaders.
finally. something we agree on.
Why has no one suggested which former prosecutors should be banned from the SAO?
go to fake brummers profile now.
you will piss your pants!
how long will it be before that picture of brummer is the cover of the new times?
Don Horn should be banned for impersonating an administrator. The HR director ("she who shall not be named II")that advises against relations in the workplace, and...
though its quite an honor
Just wanted to thank you Rumpole for that picture. I've been practicing at MJB for 15 years now and I didn't know what BB even looked like. At least I'm private. Are there PD's who would say the same?
Who is Country Dave?
And what Country is he from?
Judge Thomas -- rude and stupid. Perfect qualities to be a judge forever.
I have seen funny things in my life including: Ferris Bueller's day off, Everybody loves Raymond, and the mugshot of KFR's son, but I have never, ever, ever, seen any thing half as funny as that picture of Brummer sleeping in his car. That is truly priceless.
Would someone please include a link to the pic of sleepy brummer.
The rumor I heard was that 'Country' Dave was banned until it could be verified that he actually took a shower on at least two consecutive days... God that is one dirty lookin' dog!
lol
Dear Rumpole:
I have been a member of the Florida Bar since 1965, having graduated from the University of Miami Law School. I have dedicated my life to public service.
I began by working in the Peace Corp for two years serving in Venezuela. I then worked for the Legal Services of Greater Miami. I joined the Public Defender's Office in 1971 working in the Appellate Division. I went on to become the Chief of that division and later to Executive Assistant to the Public Defender. In 1976, I was elected Dade County's Public Defender and have held that job for nearly 30 years.
I run an office that employs over 400 people including nearly 200 lawyers. We handle over 90,000 cases each year.
I have started an Anti-Violence Initiative, Community Involvement and Partnerships Program and an International Cooperation Project, among other accomplishments.
I am proud to say that more than 40 attorneys from this office have gone on to become judges.
Sure I have made some mistakes and I am sorry for those. But overall, I am extremely proud of my career and to my dedication to the citizens of Miami Dade County.
This blog has disbursed much hatred toward me and some of the employees of my office. You certainly have that right, the First Amendment provides that to you. But at least give this office credit for the hard work of its dedicated team.
And finally, to set the record straight, this is a public office and there is noone "banned" from this office.
Rumpole, have a nice day.
Bennett H. Brummer
dear bennett,
i was with david pettus when he was denied entry into your office. maybe it was a mistake but i witnessed it with my own eyes.
So the 1st amendment does exist?
Bennett H. Brummer, sir.
The rumors and insults seem to be posted by the same person and I agree it is a shame.
One person can bring down a blog that I respected .
Rumpole take down this post and all its messages.
Mr. Rumpole, TEAR DOWN THIS BLOG
(just kidding - expose BS, wherever and whenever you can)
Mr. Brummer:
It is useless to respond to any comments posted on this blog. Simply ignore the child like "collection attorneys".
Soon Rumpole (alias) and his parade of nutcases will fade.
Respond not worth it.
'A blog you respected'? Go away you little baby. The blog is outstanding. This is America. And this blog is everything about America that I love. Here we the freedom to express ideas and opinions with out being fired(Mr. Brummer)or killed (Mr. Castro). Lighten up Francis.
as a member of the florida bar, all of you have a ethical duty to be respectful towards the judiciary and all forms.
this blog is a disgrace to the profession and a slap in the face to the rules that regulate professional conduct.
if I was running the florida bar I would have this blog shut down by order of the supreme court of florida because it is operated by a member of the bar who is in violation of at least 2 dozen rules. He rumpole should be disbarred and then he can continue he child like blog.
Hey 8:01- we are ready daily by more members of the judicary then read the NY Times and Wall Street Journal combined. so take that
judge,theres no sad dogs here!
Tell ya what tough guy- name one dozen of the "dozens" of rules I have violated and I will reveal my identity and turn myself in to the bar. You have thirty minutes starting now: 8:08
Dear "Bennett" define the phrase "handle over 90,000 cases" a year as it applies to Mr. Stein.
If I gain any more weight people will start calling me fake alan postman.
me too. We have to stop that 3pm KFC run freddy.
I am an ASA. As such, I do not work for BHB; I work for the lovely KFR. That being said, it is clear that the PD's office here in Miami is far better than those in most other large cities. The Miami PD's office hires (with a few expceptions) bright capable lawyers, many of whom have graduated from the best law schools in the country. The Miami PD's office provides extensive training to these young lawyers. The Miami PD's office succeeds in retaining their lawyers for an average of several (as opposed to a few) years. As much as it pains me to admit this, these are all things that the Miami SAO has not been so good at doing. Does BHB get none of the credit for all of this? Is the obvious quality of the lawyers in his office just an accident of fate? I think not.
As for Gabe and Lonnie, et al--what a joke. I practiced against both of them. Gabe was at most an average lawyer (which translates into a below-average PD). Lonnie, on the other hand, was truly horrible. Didn't even know how to make a JOA argument. I watched training attorneys scribble them out longhand for him to read to various incredulous members of our judiciary.
But their litigation skills (or lack thereof) are completely beside the point. I am so sick of hearing how BHB and KFR should be in the courtroom trying cases. They both run enormous offices. They have tremendous managerial responsibilities. They don't have the time to try cases. The idea that Gabe Martin, with four years under his belt as a PD, was ready to run an office with hundreds of lawyers and support staff is ludicrous, and speaks to nothing but his own hubris. And the stated rationale for his candidacy--that of the "dissidents," he, with his Hispanic surname had the best chance of winning--smacks of precisely the type of ethnocentrism that makes Miami the cesspool of corruption and incompetence that it is.
Now, with respect to the subject of Rumpole's post, yes, there is something ironic about the fact that dangerous criminals waltz in and out of the LOoBHB, but certain attorneys are banned. Assuming that this is true, there are still good reasons for such a ban. The 2004 election was very bitter. Given the bad feelings on both sides, BHB may have had a legitimate fear of further incidents should certain people be allowed into the office.
Rumpole, it's high time that you gave up on this pipe dream of yours that you are a journalist. You are no such thing. You are the moderator of a blog. Your stock in trade is rumor, innuendo, and gossip. That is why people read your blog. Your post about BHB isn't any type of journalistic endeavor. It is merely an uninformed hatchet job. A journalist would have endeavored to learn the truth by speaking to both parties. You did not such thing.
PS--apparatchik is spelled like I just spelled it. An apparatchik is an underling. The corrupt ruler to whom you refer would hypothetically rule over an apparat, or bureaucratic apparatus. It is this bureaucracy that would be staffed by apparatchiks. If you're going to drag the tired old warhorse of Soviet communism into your analogies, the least you can do is get it right.
Dear Tough Guy,
Don't threaten my buddy Rumpole. I had mercy on your boss when I destroyed my "fake brummer" persona which clearly depicted your hero taking an afternoon nap during work hours. Back off.
8:22 poster.
You are not nor have you ever been an asa. You are clearly a company Brummer man/woman who happens to be good at looking big words up in the dictonary.
P.S.
He could have used the name Gabriel Ignacio Martin to play that angle but did'nt cause he goes by the name of Gabriel Martin. And you guys were the ones who made the fight dirty cause u all stood to lose $$$. And when $$ is on the line, things can get UGLY-hence Lonnie was fired and bennett had to pay 200k.
hey rumpole:

Since I have a life and you do not, can I get a extension on that and guess what I will give you the whole 2 dozen.
better yet why dont we all file a John Doe bar complaint against this blog and see how far the bar takes it.
this is a crime.
I agree with this part :
Rumpole, it's high time that you gave up on this pipe dream of yours that you are a journalist. You are no such thing. You are the moderator of a blog. Your stock in trade is rumor, innuendo, and gossip. That is why people read your blog. Your post about BHB isn't any type of journalistic endeavor. It is merely an uninformed hatchet job. A journalist would have endeavored to learn the truth by speaking to both parties. You did not such thing.
Rumpole give it up shut down this blog and delete it all. You are going down and your license to practice law if on the line.
Dear 8:22 ASA- 1) I never said I was journalist. I would like to be a writer. Whether I am good enough or not is for the marketplace to decide. I do not follow the rules of journalism that my favourite Herald scribe the lucious Oh Susanah Nesmith has to follow. No where on this blog will you see any claim by me that I am a journalist.
2)Take your head out of your sanctimonious arse and re-read the sentence that was posted: "corrupt ruler of the apprachik "- get it? Ruler OF the apprachik- meaning that I well know that apprachik was a worker in the former soviet union. But that sentence apparently went a bit over your head.
Finally, I share and agree with most of your other comments about the PD's office. Why ol BHB has to do these stupid things is beyond me. Do you know Country Dave? Do you know Lynn Overmann? Do you reall think she is a threat and needs to be BANNED from the PD's office? is Ray the former DC who was arrested BANNED from the SAO? Or is Kathy just wise enough to leave well enough alone?
See You In Court where I am certain I have wooped your butt in the past.
look what "fake brummer" started a war between rumpole and PD's office.
who will win?
the power of words..... they hurt don't they? i bet it hurt lonnie when you call him a garbage atty. does he cry about it? no. he was a young atyy when he was fired. not all of us can be great when we start. with the exception of u i guess.
8:39 - you want a continuance? I'll give you two weeks. Start now. See You August 14, 2006 with your 24 rules governing lawyers that I have violated. You need 24- you will not find one- but get me 24 and I will post my picture on this damn blog for all to see. Good luck.
by the way....fake brummer happens to have a great sense of humor.
just when you thought rumpole might say something important He does not.
Rumpole broward is in your horizon
move now.
by friday will be fine.

Monday, July 31, 2006 8:48:10 PM
Thank you for the continuance.
Sorry, Rump. I agree with 8:22. You spelled it wrong, and if you intended to use the word as you claimed, you would have used it in the plural.
Btw, 8:22 writes better than you do. I'm guessing s/he "wooped" your butt, that is, if you ever go to trial.
Lonnie is blogging here.
Ol lonnie get a life,
can we get back to Judge Hernandez and Juan D'Arce.
Is it me or does subjects on BH cause friction. No one cares about Judge Hernandez so lets rattle his cage somemore
8:51,52 and 52 poster,
how long have you been an assistant public defender?
Rumpole I agree with 8:52 and who 8:52 agreed with.
Rumpole is speechless or he is so pissed that he is under blood pressure meds right about now
Rumpole, If these guys don't lay off with the shut down the blog stuff fake brummer will rear his sleepy head.
While I’m on the subject Mr./ Ms ASA- lets examine what is really going on here.
Lets assume you really are a prosecutor. You get up in the morning. Drive your used Toyota that you hate to court. Take advantage of some civil lawyer who when business was slow picked up a SA robbery and can’t do an arraignment. You get yelled at by the Judge because even if you are a DC you have no authority over any case and you get sick of saying “I have to speak with a supervisor about that” 100 times a day 5 days a week. You slink back to your cubby hole of an office and unwrap your stale tuna sandwich and curse the fact that they don’t pay you enough to live on and eat lunch out. And for fun you read this blog, and instead of enjoying it, it pisses you off because you wish you thought of it, you wish people were reading what you had to say. You think you’re smart, you think you can be witty and damn you missed another opportunity to make your name in the world. So the only thing left in your petty little world is bitterness, anger, resentment, and while you’re at it, why not threaten me with being disbarred?
As the late, great Judge Morphonios would probably say: “Sorry pal, ain’t gonna happen. “
See Ya In Court.
Ps. If you’re tired of tuna, I’ll take you to Mortons.
JOEL DENARO IS RUMPOLE- WATCH AND SEE:
Rumpole: lets see if you have the balls to print this:
I CAUGHT YOU. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Lets just say that I have some
computer skills.
I have downloaded all of your posts and run them through some filtering programs I designed. A few things jumped out immediately:
1) You only posted posts about your identity on the last Friday of any month where the date of the Friday was a prime number.
Using that prime number as a key,I took the first letter of each sentence on every Friday post this happened, and you know what? I got the same stupid sentence below:
A DRONE JEEP I'LL ROOM US A CARD CENT MYTH
But wait, because you are not as smart as you think.
I then put that sentence through A simple anagram program and you know what I got among the possible answers:
JOEL DENARO IS RUMPOLE. TRY AND CATCH ME.
I CAUGHT YOU.
LETS SEE IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO PRINT THIS
A COMPUTER NERD WHO IS SMARTER THAN YOU.
OH, BIG MISTAKE RUMP:
Guess who has an office in the Colonial Bank Centre (where the restaurant Morton's, is in the lobby)?????
Rick Freedman does. Nailed!!!
Listen- I've said this before: The topic is WHY HAS BENNET BANNED ATTORNEYS? WHY IS THE OFFICE NAMED "THE LAW OFFICES OF BENNET BRUMMER?" AND NOT "THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS OFFICE OF DADE COUNTY?"
STOP THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND STICK ON TOPIC OR I WILL RUN FOR JUDGE AND START THROWING PEOPLE IN JAIL.
Rick....? Oh Ricky my boy.
Rickaroo? What say you?
Nailed?
Beaten?
Outted?
Ricky boy....r u rumpole?
That Joel Denaro thing is kinda interesting.
Hello Rumpole,
It's 8:22. I am indeed an ASA. I love my job. I don't eat tuna.
I enjoy your blog to the extent that I enjoy gossip. On the other hand, I don't enjoy reading poorly-researched hatchet jobs masquerading as "journalism" by a blog moderator whose ego is now the size of Mishkin and Moldovan put together.
I don't wish I thought of the blog because I don't consider creating and moderating a blog to be something that takes much skill or creativity. I write fiction in my free time (it's much harder than writing immature rants). And yes, I've been published.
I'm not bitter. I'm not angry. I just call them like I see them.
And I haven't threatened you with being disbarred. Those threats were made by others.
OK. Stop it. I'm in charge now. Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the PD, Mr. Weed, Mr. Stein, and then myself. I will be in charge here, at the 14st bunker, until the Public Defender is located and can respond. Things will run as usual. Mr. Stein will get his morning Danish, and I will put in a full days work until 2pm. That is all.
OK mr. ASA/published writer. Where? Where have I ever said this was a journalistic enterprise?
PS The mortons offer is still on. We can go with rick freedman and prove he is not rumpole.
Plus, if this is poorly written and does not entertain you, why are you reading this?
PS that Mishkin comment was really below the belt.
Click on fake warren schwartz and be prepared to laugh your ass off.
Philly Philly Philly
Can't you see...
Sometimes your posts just hypnotize me...
Dearest Rumpole,
It's 8:22. You really are a silly, silly man. If I told you where I'd been published, then you'd know who I was. And given that you've chosen to preserve your own anonymity, I think it's hardly fair that you ask me to abandon mine.
I love Warren. Yall sore losers need leave him alone.
But the strawberries,
that's where I had them.
I proved with geometric logic that a
duplicate key to the icebox existed.
UMM.not gonna respond to the question of where and when I said I was a journalist?
Plus- being cited in a 3rd PCA opinion is not being published in my humble opinion.
Finally, I offered to take you to mortons. How could I be anonymous if I did that?
As Judge Glick would quickly recognize, Mr. Grey is quoting from a movie with Humphrey Bogart. Anyone want to guess the name?
Captain Queeg, Caine Mutiny, 1954.
take a bow Captain.
This is really funny. Scroll up to the Country Dave post. It's linked to a website showing a video of a reporter who is reporting that soliders are burning marijuana and cocaine and the reporter is getting stoned. Its hysterical. Great job who ever thought of that!
just showed to my buddies during a fifa break. truely it is the greatest post of all time.
my god that shit was funny. you should have an award for post of the week. my vote would have to go to country dave but not far infront of sleepy brummy. but where did sleepy go?
country dave is a funny mother fucker.
this is 8:22 I do not date judges.
Rumpole: Your 9:04 post was histerical. I am the one who posted the comments about the bar complaint.
Putting that aside your response to this asa was just funnt shit and should have posted as a main post.
I still will post the 2 dozen violations against you and get you disbarred. I just think your funny.
Okay, time for a recap of Rumpole's rumor-spreading to see just how little of substance we have actually obtained:
Saturday morning (8:25:37 in the Hernandez comments), Rumpole asks for details about an alleged ban of certain lawyers from the PD's office.
Saturday afternoon and evening (same comments section), Rumpole promises us "a good one" about "BANNED BY BRUMMER".
Undeterred by the total lack of substantiation, Rumpole on Monday morning posts his screed against BHB. I pointed out (9:09:03) that what he published was a rumor, not facts. Since then, there have been 120 comments. NOT ONE SUBSTANTIATION OF THE RUMOR. (Sorry 9:23:37 and 11:54:05 and 11:56:23 and 12:16:49, but anonymous confirmations of an anonymous rumor ummm... lack a certain credibility).
Rumpole, you said a while ago that you did not want to be a part of unfairly destroying a person's reputation through malicious rumors. Well, what is it that you have done with this rumor if not what you claim to abhor? Methinks it's high time for some supporting facts or a contrite and sincere apology.
By the way, I have no particular love for BHB, just met him once, seemed like an ordinary person. I do however despise rumors whose purpose is to destroy the good name of a person. As General Westmoreland asked after a determination that he'd been libeled, "Where do I go to get my reputation back?" You may not aspire to be a journalist, Rumpole, but your words can hurt people and you should always be aware of that.
I need to correct my last post. While General Westmoreland did sue to get his reputation back, the exact quote I was referring to was "Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?" and it was uttered by Ray Donovan, Ronald Reagan's former secretary of labor, after being acquitted of fraud and larceny charges. The idea is of course the same, that unsubstantiated words or charges can hurt a person's reputation when thrown about recklessly, even if those words are later proven to be untrue. But, mea culpa for the historical inaccuracy.
For those of you who need a Consultant with the skills in the North, Mr. Jordan W. Leonard can help you with his unlimted connections. What connections you ask? Well, he is the City Clerk for El Portal as well as a campaign consultant. His number is (305) 795-7880 and fax is (305) 795-7884. (At least this is what I was told. I hear he is super!) All the best and I hope he helps you win!
To 148 AM: I received several emails confirming the story, including one from an attorney I know who was there when Dave was banned, one from an attorney who was banned, and two from PDs who asked for me not to reveal their names who confirmed the "rumour."
OK?
Show me the rule. The PD has no obligation to do so.
"In many cases where multiple defendants are accused of a crime in the same case, the Public Defenders office has the responsibility to schedule depositions and coordinate the schedules of the attorneys working on the case."
Is Brummer saying that we are welcome back to take our depositions at the lobhb?
Rumpole, I have received an official communique from Mr. Brummer in response to the car picture.
STATEMENT OF BENNETT BRUMMER IN RESPONSE TO THE PICTURE OF HIM SLEEPING IN HIS CAR:
"Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
in cars.
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
in cars.
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door
in cars
Here in my car
You know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Althoug nothing seems right
in cars.
The Martin/Richards ban was part of the settlement of the Martin/BHB post election lawsuit. BHB paid Martin. It was stipulated that Martin and Richards could no longer set foot in the Public Building now named by Bennett H. Brummer, after Bennett H. Brummer. This was the lawsuit, where BHB had to pay over $100,000)out of public money) because of his the indidents arising from BHB's campaign activities. I believe these facts were published both in the Herald and in the blog.
GABRIEL MARTIN SHOULD BE PUBLIC DEFENDER IN 2008!!!
Why do people like to bash Brummer for not trying cases? He holds an administrative position. Do you think the manager of a baseball team should also be in left field. Should the Dolphins coach also play QB?
If you want to criticize the guy, fine. But at least use some of that logic you allegedly learned in law school.
where is the pic of BHB snoozin in his vehicle?
Country D will try cases, so will Lynn, and they put up more w's than l's. That's really the bottom line. But, Brummer aint that bad. He is an administrator, and most head pd's and sa's dont handle court duties, so why expect that from Brummer?
Why was BHB no prosecuted by KRF if he violated so many laws and rules? Seems odd that this man is still the Public Defender and a Community leader when he even paid people off to not go broke. Herald, can we have a follow-up on BHB and talk to KFR as well as the elections commission to see what is the matter.
No, you cannot. The Herald supports Brummer. End of story, and don't blog again.
Dear Mr. Miami Herald,
Do you want to see sleepy time again?
I once heard County Dave walked into ROC court and threw Jimenez' jail paper right in his face. He is loco...but one hell of an advocate. When your life is on the line you may want this guy on your side Brummer!
To 11:59 am:
Country D and Lynn O. put up more w's than l's??? Are you joking??? Ask Country about his motto regarding lack of prep when it comes to trying cases "It's just a body count." Sound familiar Dave????
You should have heard what Jack Denaro and Roy Black would say when they were partners at the Public Defender's office. Keep working on those mitigation packets you soft ass.
Larry "your Losing" Schwartz
To the anonymous poster 9:07:37 p.m. You posit an interesting theory that Joel Denaro is Rumpole. Only one problem: It can't be true.
You said:
"I have downloaded all of your posts and run them through some filtering programs I designed. A few things jumped out immediately:

While this would have been a wonderful bit of detective work, it simply is not possible. A simple check of the calendar, however, reveals the following:
The last Friday in July (7/28), June (6/30), May (5/26), April (4/28), February (2/28), January (1/27), December of 2005 (12/30), and November of 2005 (11/25) do not qualify, as none of these Friday dates is a prime number.
The only month that met the requirements of your "theory" was March (3/31), and there was no post from Rumpole that date (according to the archives).
Nice try...
joel denaro doesn't have time for this shit.

Operation Restore Justice is geared toward exposing corruption in the Florida Court system. The web site is here to expose the very rare cases in which a Judge or those under the Judge's control violate the publics trust.
The Supreme Court of Florida has set a path of rooting out judicial wrong doing at all levels. The Supreme Court has released numerous opinions over the past few years making it clear to the general public that it will not tolerate violations of the code of judicial conduct either by a sitting judge or a candidate for judge. Recently the Supreme Court of Florida removed a judge from office because of violations of the code of judicial conduct that happened during his judicial campaign to become a Florida Judge.
All citizens of Florida can be sure that our highest court will NOT tolerate violations of the Code of Judicial conduct at any level. Our supreme court is not shy in expressing its condemnation of any Judge who violates the public trust by not following the code of judicial conduct.
Operation Restore Justice is under the control of a private citizen. It was due to the criminal investigation presently against Judge Ivan Hernandez and his Judicial Assistant, by the Miami-Dade State Attorneys office which has resulted in the seizure of the Judges computer under a criminal subpoena, that Operation Restore Justice was born in early 2006. In addition to complaints from numerous litigants of being denied access to Judge Hernandez court and Racial slurs by his Judicial Assistant against the administrative Judge.
Florida has some of the best Judges in the world. We cannot let a handful of bad apples destroy the prestige of Florida's judicial system. The Supreme Court of Florida through its recent opinions has demonstrated that it will NOT tolerate judges who do not follow the code of judicial conduct.

Florida has some of the best Judges in the world. We cannot let a handful of bad apples destroy the prestige of Florida's judicial system. The Supreme Court of Florida through its recent opinions has demonstrated that it will NOT tolerate judges who do not follow the code of judicial conduct.
