JULIE KAY of the Daily Business Review writes a great article about Federal PD Orlando De Campo trapped in Lebanon because of the war. De Campo was in Lebanon working on the defense in the Padilla case when a war inconveniently broke out and interrupted his research.
Unfortunately for De Campo, the Federal Courts have already ruled that a war is no reason to grant a defense continuance.
THE FOLLOWING POST WAS WRITTEN ENTIRELY BY OUR CAPTAIN. GREAT WORK.
Now that the qualifying period is over, it’s time for the campaigning to begin. Over the next six weeks, the decisions we make will shape the future of our County and Circuit Court bench. One vote CAN make a difference. Because the candidates are so limited in their ability to sell themselves, it is up to us to speak for them. If we feel that one candidate is clearly more qualified than another, they we owe it to ourselves and our clients, to speak to as many voters as we can and let them know what we know.
So, having said that, here are the contests (the year following the name is that listed with the Florida Bar):

Thanks Captain - I had no idea how many challenges Murphy has had.
He and L. Schwartz are in a run for their money. Mendez came so close; I'l bet she is going to win this time.
and David Alschuler - I had forgotten that he ran. Maybe he should try again
runpole need your imput asap.
I am not a fan of Juan D’Arce or Judge Hernandez.
Honestly I have paid less attention to the names of the people running against the incumbent judges. I was thinking who is the low life Juan D’Arce and why all the attention. Now that all the names of those running for judge have come to light it is clear why the State Attorney’s office is involved and why this is bigger than I thought.
This Juan D’Arce was not acting alone. He was backed by the Judge himself. He was backed by those seeking to replace sitting judges.
This is a huge conspiracy that has Judge Ivan Hernandez at the wheel and a JA willing to take the fall for him.
There are about seven people running against sitting judges that are working with Juan D’Arce. Who are they? Here is your list of crooks:
1. Patricia Marino-Pedraza
2. Victoria del Pino
3. Stephen T. Millan
4. Juan F. Gonzalez
5. George A. Alvarez
6. Bonnie Lano Rippingille
7. Cecilia Armenteros-Chavez
Does any one think that indictments may be handed down against any of the names cited or just Juan D’Arce?
get the family photo of the seven together in may 2006

then rumpole someone said this about you is this true. Please tell me its not.

I was told by FDLE, the US attorney, the JQC, the state attorney's office, and the FBI that subpoenas, indictments, and arrests are all happening 3 weeks from last tuesday at 4PM. Juan is possibly tied to every judicial candidate in florida, and the blog is being subpoenaed as well and they will disclose every single person who ever posted a comment, or thought of posting a comment.
Rumpole is a combination of 13 people, and 3 of them write a day.

This blog is making Juan's career. Now we all know who he is. I would hire the guy just cause so many people hate him.
in common parlace, D'arce's activities fail the "duck" test. That is, in common parlace, one who would expect that if it looks like a duck and walks, talks, and acts like a duck, one can usually safely assume it is a duck.
Juan is a crook and so is Judge Hernandez. You want to hire a crook?
D'Arce with Del Pino? I saw Jacoby eating breakfast with D'Arce in North Miami a couple of months ago so I really doubt it. I have it from a good source that he is working Jacoby's campaign from behind the scenes.
no way is he with jacobi. check out the link to the family photo above.
hey want to become a member with Hernandez and the seven crooks just go to this link. although they should have used spell check on the application

Monday, July 24, 2006 9:34:06 AM Juan is a crook and so is Judge Hernandez. You want to hire a crook?
Bob Levy is a crook and Judges seem to like hiring him.
Juan D'Arce's candidates last election all won thus Levy decided this year to get Juan out of the picture by defaming him.
they won pee brain because he was doing illegal extortion and unethical tactics.
Whats different is that the state attorneys office sat back and waited for him to pull the same shit this year and now they have nailed this guy.
I have never met this Juan guy but I have to agree with 9:30:52.
Just the fact that he is so talked about and "hated" makes me think he knows his stuff when it comes to elections. He is probably hated for his talents.
What I wonder is what would be the pros and cons of hiring him?
Do the benefits of his "consulting service" provide more support that would outweigh the cons? What are the cons?
Obviously if he has 7 candidates, they seem to think none.
My other question- what exactly does a consultant do for a candidate?
Do they use their talents to make the opposing candidate (or candidates consultant) look bad?
What kind of strategic advice do they give and where do they learn these "secrets" from?
Here are my predictions:
Manno beating Sanchez in a run-off
Marin
Parks beating Mendez in a run-off
Unethical tactics and illegal extortion- seems to me like the stuff Slom's team pulled against Armenteros-Chavez.
I think Mendez will win. She is pretty hot, in a way. Schwartz is a good Judge, but Mendez will win this time.
Patti Marino-Pedraza got married to Mr. Pedraza about 8 years ago. They have a son. So, what is the big deal that she changed her name a few months ago?
I agree with the above post no biggie with name change. Although association with D'Arce may be a reason to change her name completely
traffic attorneys (and traffic magistrates past and present) are the WORST possible candidates for a judgeship.
"change of plea your honor", "withhold and 4 hours of traffic school", "wrong statute"...arrrrghhhh!!!!!
lame and inexperienced is no way to go through life, son. now drop and give me 20!!
peckins was the only exception in recent memory.
for my english-challenged brethren: "cutting the mustard" has nothing to do with a medianoche recipe.
Karen Mills Francis deserves to lose. She beat a good Judge in Goldstein and now Millan should beat her.
I want to know, does anyone think that Judge Karen Mills Francis is more State oriented or more defense oriented??? I know she used to be a Public Defender.
Captain, you are GREAT. Thanks for taking the time to do that thorough review of the candidates.
Why didnt marino change her name when she got married?
Because she wasn't running for judge back then
yeah, the Captain was correct, she just changed it last week, i checked.
So, who cares, she is better than McHooter any day of the week and I am voting for Patricia Garcia Pedrosa Marino
Hey geniuses, Marino-Pedraza had a law firm with her name "Marino" on it before she got married. After marriage her firm was already established and her partner Zemon did not agree with any name changes for business reasons. That is why she continued to be Marino. Now that she is running for judge she has every right to use her married name in that arena.
Thanks Patty
Hernandez broke the cardinal rule of the judiciary, never interfere with your colleagues races. He allowed his JA unfettered access to the political arena. He calmly looked the other way while Juan battered and bloodied decent judges who lost not because of their judgement but because of their ethnicity. Juan is getting payback for the way he practiced his consulting business, Hernandez is getting payback because he ignored it. And about time too. He's not bright and doesn't get the ethical slippery slope of tolerating his JA playing the politics of the judiciary. The worst thing of all is he's running against a really decent guy. Faber is qualified and experienced and could be a great judge. We'll never know unless he's elected. No one else had the balls to run in this seat when they had the chance. Give him credit for that. He gets my vote.
Not that I am supporting any one candidate but the picture basically is of the National Latino Peace Officers Association and their endorsements. I was in law enforcement and I know this organization and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH D'ARCE. The judicial candidates were asked to submit questionaires and from what I hear a lot of the current judges blew it off. These candidates attended an event for endorsements purposes so let's not crucify them. Just because they endorsed Hernandez, don't assume that Juan D'Arce is involved. If that's true, then all the people the PBA endorsed are working for D'Arce too because Hernandez got endorsed by the PBA! So let's stop this crap.
This group didn't solicit the candidates for endorsements, these candidates went to them as a group to privately ask for their endorsement with Juan leading them along. Their opponents had no chance to even ask for it much less earn it. Don't be so 'fricken naive. This endorsement is as bogus as Juan is.
If Patty Whatshernamethisweek had any integrity she wouldn't have changed her name at the last minute. You can cry all you want but the facts speak plainly and loudly...she wanted to appeal to the hispanic community to beat a black face. Only able to use it now? What crap. It is ethnic politics at its worst and she deserves to lose for her callous and insincere defense.
4:20 above thank you.
Check your facts Mr. 4:20pm! You dont know what you are talking about because If you did, you'd actually have some balls and post your name when making statements you are making and mud slinging other candidates names. but you are a coward!
I filed a JQC cmplaint against Hernandez for wearing his judicial robe at the private event were the family photo was taken.
Violation of judicial canons Judge Hernandez you should take a peak at the rules of professional conduct at least one time. Please
ARE THESE ENFORSEMENTS BOGUS?

http://www.miaminlpoa.org/Alexander_Acosta_US_Attorney_Southern_Florida_Miami_Luncheon_NLPOA.htm
that should speak for itself same on you Judge Hernandez
kiss my ass:
This group didn't solicit the candidates for endorsements, these candidates went to them as a group to privately ask for their endorsement with Juan leading them along. Their opponents had no chance to even ask for it much less earn it. Don't be so 'fricken naive. This endorsement is as bogus as Juan is.
Nobody has heard of National Latino Peace Officers Association!New organization are being formed with"endorsement"power just for the judicial races.In existence is a Hispanic Police Officers Association which also did not notify anyone of endorsementyet some candidates suggest they received endorsements.New in the offering,Latin Builders Association did endorsements for what reason?
News media should investigate because we are turning into a community that belies the law and justice for the sake of what?
HEY what about the PBA endorsements? Does anyone know who they endorsed?
Who cares who they endorsed, they are all probably former ASA's.
YOU ASKED FOR IT - YOU GOT IT:
THE PBA ENDORSEMENTS:
Group 25 Dennis Murphy

Group 39 Bronwyn Miller
Group 40 Bonnie Rippingille
and there you have it .....
CAPTAIN OUT ................
Thanks Captain, what a contrast to the League of Prosecutors.
Why didn't they endorse anyone in Group 1, didn't McWhorter work for the PBA?
and what's with the love loss for Michael Samuels? Who did he piss off at the PBA and League of Pros.?
How come McWhorter worked for the PBA and did not get their endorsement?
Very strange?
they endorsement is meaningless because they are supporting Ivan Hernandez. When you can support that guy you lose credibility.
how accurate has the PBA been in the past elections?
If the Natl Latino Officers had an endorsement process without inviting all candidates that is a violation!
Do any of us really care who these groups endorse? Do their members even care who they endorse? How many people are members of the League of Prosecutors? Isn't that Aquaman, Flash, Captain America, the Wonder Twins and Wonder Dog? If you're an ASA can't you make up your own mind about who to vote for? Do you really listen to "the Leauge?"
can someone tell me why Cecilia Armenteros-Chavez address is exempt on het reports.
is she in law enforement or her husband?
sorry "her reports"
because she's a jerk that's why 5:17 post.
Aquaman, Flash, Captain America, the Wonder Twins and Wonder Dog, dont bring my heros into the miami politics
Endorsements, like signs, are a dime a dozen. Many groups are prone to selecting incumbents without a true veting process. LBA had no selection process and no invitations to participate, a very undemocratic process. PBA selects incumbents, exceptions this year were Samuels and McWhorter (whose opponent was not endorsed either). These mean very little in the process other than for bragging rights. Its votes that count.
correction those signs cost about $2.00 each so thats really $24 bucks a dozen.
captain did you put the link to the us attorney event.
armenteros didnt get her husband's permission to give the address.
btw, she has a nice set of guns, dont you think?
ha ha she did not put the address because she is legally exempt. But why? Is she with law enforcement or her husband what does he do
TO 5:34 PM, you are wrong, on Group 14, they did not endorse Samuels, but they did endorse his opponent, Gloria Gonzalez Meyer. both PBA and League endorsed Meyer.
to 5:43, what link to US Atty event are you talking about???
captain this link:
http://www.miaminlpoa.org/Alexander_Acosta_US_Attorney_Southern_Florida_Miami_Luncheon_NLPOA.htm
To clean up some business:
1) the posts on todays comments are so boring I could not bring myself to read them. "Juan dis...Patty dat..." peeeew.
2) Rumpole believes that there is a JQC investigation of Judge Hernandez. Rumpole has no idea what the charges are and when the results will be.
3) we are many things to many people. However, we are not thirteen people. Two people could not keep this a secret in the REGJB, much less thirteen.
4) Isn't the Captain doing a great job?
Rumpole - the post about all the investigations and you being 13 people was a joke - it was meant for all the people who continue to write and say that there are like 45 investigaitons going on and predicting who you are.
So just laugh, don't respond to it as if it was serious.
I know it was a joke, I wrote it
Rump, are you endorsing candidates? C'mon make this blog interesting again and do it.
rumpole can you tell us if you are male or female so I know what to get you for christmas
I heard Gabriel Martin is running for either State Attorney, Public Defender, or Judge in 2008- It's Time For A Change!
GO GABE!!!
Stop picking on the NLPOA. Its true they are only Correctional Officers but they must know how to think, shouldn't they? Right Eddie?
To the person jonseing for endorsements, I thought the captain did a good job and the post was interesting.
1) While I am a male, I sometimes wear a dress. See my other blog...www.crossdressinglawyers.com.
2) just kidding. (not that there's anything wrong with it)
To the poster who wrote
"Stop picking on the NLPOA..." you most be Hugo Chavez the husband of Cecilia D'Arce Armenteros Hugo Chavez
Captain did a great job but put up or shutup
I am thinking of running for Judge in several years. I discussed my intentions with Juan D'Arce and from all the other persons I have spoken to, this kid knows his stuff when it comes to elections and the judiciary. I feel confident that he will not just take my money and put up signs like the other consultants. I hope to hire him.
Hugo Chavez is also in the family picture on the NLPOA site.
Great idea 9:28, maybe by that time he will be out of jail and you can find him through his probation officer.
9:28 IS juan you idiots
It is possible that going to jail is a requirement for becoming a popular political consultant (see Bob Levy, the Herald seems to love him...)
Thanks Captain for all the factoids; looking forward to the Rumpole Endorsements down the road.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.I'd just like to know about the other candidates, especially in the circuit court races. Like who is this garcia jr guy? What does he have over Parks? And who is this mendez? This is crazy.
Garcia has 6 yrs experience, that's what.
memdez? dunno
Parks 22 plus.
allright
thank you
TO ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ:
You asked about Marisa Tinkler Mendez, running in Group 80, against Garcia and Parks.
Here is what we know: She runs a practice in Coral Gables under the name Mendez & Mendez. He is Sergio Mendez (her husband, I presume). He does real estate.
She does a very extensive criminal appellate practice throughout Florida. She has appeared in nearly every District Court and has been before the Florida Supreme Court several times representing defendants in criminal appeals. She has also done Federal Appeals before the 11th Circuit.
Needless to say, both Mendez and Parks have significantly more experience than Mario Garcia, jr. who just barely made the experience requirement for running for judge.
As many of you know, Parks was a RN before she went back to law school and became an attorney. She is 52 years old, was born in North Carolina and now handles medical malpractice cases. She has been a successful attorney for the past 22 years, most recently with the law firm of Boyd Mustelier Smith & Parker of downtown Miami and Dittmar & Hauser in Coconut Grove.
CAPTAIN OUT ..............
mario garcia is great, just ask him.
I think we can all agree Juan's candidates are quite a collection. Let's review, shall we?
In Group 1 we have Patty Whatshernamethisweek. She's hardly ever tried a case, changed her name at the last second to blatantly appeal to latin voters against a black face, and is trying to use a popular quarterback's team colors and name she now only partly shares to bring her home. Yup, she's a worthy candidate allright..NOT!
In Group 4 there's Ivan Fernandez. Tanned and rested since he only works 3 half-days a week, he's got JQC complaints and corruption investigations swirling around his courtroom and chambers. If he's not indicted or impeached he should consider himself lucky. That's a candidate for the ages.
In Group 12 there's Juan Gonzalez. He's got a terrible temperament, has no respect from anyone and couldn't try his way out of a paper bag much less run a courtroom in any competent fashion. He appears to be looking for a retirement job like his buddy, Ivan.
In Group 39 there's big George Alvarez. A traffic guru with no real experience other than bleed (the client) and plead (the case), he's best known for his signs that don't even have his first name on them. To few and too late.
And then there's Group 43 and Cecilia Armenteros-Chavez. Best known for filing at the last second against Sam Slom and then having to speak to her husband before she can say anything, she is yet another in a long line of losers and also-rans who Juan has talked into running judicial races this year.
If anyone thinks that Juan D'Arce has any future in this, the writings on the wall. Moreover, every real lawyer should be doing their level best to ensure that none of them make it to the bench.
What makes you think those are his candidates?
They are
1:49AM - one of the best posts ever, however, FOR THE 578TH TIME - ITS IVAN HERNANDEZ - NOT FERNANDEZ
So right you are 7:10:15 - it's a shame that a good judge like Ivan Fernandez is confused for that clown down there in South Dade. Remember the difference, Miami, the "H" stands for "Horrible". And that was a great post.
pushing a member of the legislature is a felony with an enhancement for battery on the mentally ill.
The review said this morning that Michael Bienstock is a prosecutor! Where, Captain?
I thought bienstock was a sandal maker
A Chance of a lifetime has arrived. Thats right you get to meet and greet all the losers at one lunch. Get your picture taken with all the friends and family of Juan (prison # 234263) D'Arce (what a honor).
You say what do I have to do to sign up and get this chance of a lifetime. Well its simple, just follow this link and your on your way to pictures with all the judcial crooks you want for one small fee of $10 per month. (please ignore the grammer on the application) we dont speak much english.

Is it just me or was Gina mendez having a bad hair day at the NLPO.
I've been in the legal arena for a long time - the comments on the post on the possible or real connection between any candidates and Juan D are completely meaningless and irrelevant in these elections. Especially when the issues concerning this Juan D are "small peanuts". How many of you who post on the blog were friends of Knovack Jones or any other attorney who has unfortunately violated the law - are you any less of a person or qualified to move up in the legal career. If we are going to improve the judiciary, we need to focus on the qualifications of the candidates. If you dig deep, you will find that the incumbents have had controversy of their own in the past. Why is this not being brought up?
hey...jerk...you posted without cursing at me...hmm..should I delete your post just for the fun of it?
sensitive are we?
If you delete my post again I will find you. You cannot hide from me rumpole dick face, wannabe lawyer and cant be a lawyer so starts a blog degrading Juan D'Arce.
Rumpole get a life and bash other ja's
Someone is pretending to be Juan again...

See Rumpole how much we all love the ability to blog freely!
what's all this interest in the county court seats? doesn't anyone care sbout the circuit court races?
No
Leave Jack and the Bienstock alone. He has alot of climbing to do, that is out of the Child Enforcement Division. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
We don't care. Vote for Marin and Parks--you guys should get interested in these races. Joe George, I hear, just csme out big-time for Parks. Ditto for Joel Denaro.
Why does this blog still talk about d'arce? it is the most boring topic who cares?
RUmphil reizenstein i know you have a special interest in this since he came to your house but censor this topic--it is as boring as sitting in a 100 page c sounding when the judge wont let you call cases out of turn
Parks just won the lotto, i heard, confidentially. she'll spend big bucks.
what a crock
It's true. Where do you think she got the Barbie corvette from?
She drives a stupid tahoe.

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.
HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I love reading all this BS. Makes me proud to know that so many bigots were so wrong. It has been almost four years and the truth is that the only crooks are the sitting judge mafia.
Time always reveals the truth.
Has anyone realized that McGillis is still crazy and goes against any Judge that rules against him?
Look at his DV history. Rather interesting. Had a few new cases recently.
Wowsers! Lots to read on this whole scandal that KFR created back in 2006. Funny how the truth finally came out and it was that all the libel and slander was a well orchestrated smoke screen to save the ass of weak judges who played the diversity card backwards. Genius!
The truth be told, nothing ever happened and like the media does with the Obama and Republican candidates today, pure drama in the media to scare voters. Sad state of our democratic system when those who are elected can manipulate the media for their own personal gain.
