JUDGE THOMAS SUPPRESSES CONFESSIONS

go here!

Here is the link to our favourite Scribe’s Herald article and that article has a link to the PDF file with Judge Thomas’s order. Rumour has it that Mr. Laeser was overheard to grumble that the order was well written and that the AG’s office had a fight on their hands.

Just so it’s clear. We take no joy in this order or the possible outcome of the case.


True, we are engaged in the business of defending people charged with crimes. But we are also a citizen of this community, and if the allegations in this case are true, then we need and value people like Mr. Laser doing the job he does.
The allegations in this case are almost unspeakably horrid.

As a matter of pure speculation, we posit that Judge Thomas took no joy in writing or issuing the order. He went where the facts took him, regardless of the consequences of the decision.

That’s what a Judge does.

There are no winners here.

Other than the rule of law.

See You In Court.
Sometimes this is a very depressing job.


PS: Do you think the Dade County Public Defender's Office should explain their policy of banning lawyers from public state owned buildings? WE DO. Vote in our new poll.

The same idiocy that he has demonstrated as a judge on the bench the last two years led him to suppress the confession of an admitted murderer,but since it helps the bottom feeding liberal defense lawyers now he is a "Constitutional Hero ".BTW when did murderers and rapists become the moral equivalent of Tom Paine?

Memo to FDLE agent Francisco Hidalgo:

You do not have an intellectually demanding job. scary, yes. does it take balls to be a cop, yes. But how difficult is it to use your required three brain cells to follow the few laws you have to. If this kid is guilty, I hope he fries. If he skates, its on HIDLAGO'S hands.

I'm a defense attorney and love my job, but am continually amazed at the absolute ignorance of law enforcement. we as a society have to buck up, pay a little more in taxes, and hire cops with an IQ higher than my BAC.

I understand we need some meatheads who are willing to chase thugs with guns down dark alleys. But maybe when we catch alleged GANG RAPISTS AND MURDERERS we can have a Barney Fife with both of his brain cells clicking and read him his rights.

Maybe that 40 hour training to be a cop isnt enough. Make it 41 hours and remind them to read Miranda rights.

Officer HIDALGO, ever here of MIRANDA? that moron should be fired today!

And why is Miami Beach spokesperson Bobby Hernandez "disappointed" that Judge Thomas followed the law. I am disappointed you run a fuckin circus, Officer Hernandez. I am disappointed people detest cops b/c they lie. Have your cops follow the law the right way and you will never ever lose a motion to suppress.

The ends do not justify the means, Hernandez. Because the crime was heinous does not mean the law does not apply. (even to you meatheads with the shiny little badges)

Until law enforcement can attract people with a brain, we will be left with moronic cops like Hidalgo, Hernandez, and the genius cop who managed to fuck up Jessica Lunsford confession.

Who exactly are you protecting and serving? (by the way, thanks for the parking ticket yesterday!)

Rumpole said...

9:15- those scumbags charged with rape and murder are heroes of nothing and we sincerely hope Mr. Laser succeeds in having them puinished. Judge Thomas has his fans and critics. We applaud him for nothing more than doing his job as the good lord saw fit to give him the ability to do. We would have applauded him for denying the motion if the law required it, as well. It is however, 1 million times harder to grant a motion in a case with these facts, then if those defendants had been charged with stealing a car and going for a joy ride.

Dear Rumpole:

I have responded once, on Monday, and will repeat what I said earlier:

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

Rumpole said...

I tend to think not. He can email us at the address with his email address and that would prove it and we would then admit he has spoken. But, we have several anonymous soruces who all confirm various incidents of attorneys being banned, so the post is not truthful.

Horace,
I know that you do not check your facts, but the 'rumour' you refer to in your blog is an absolute fiction. I fully expect to be able to use the suppressed evidence at trial. Thanks.

Anonymous said...

is it just me or has Rumpole's tone changed?

what happened to the light-hearted posts about old-time judges and REGKB lore. Rump has taken to rampant censorship, deleting what he wants, when he wants.

its his blog, for sure, but just cause you have the power to do something, doesnt mean you have the right to.

Anonymous said...

Sanitization (removal) and whitewashing are almost interchangeable terms that refer to a particular form of censorship via omission, which seeks to "clean up" the portrayal of particular issues and/or facts that are already known, but that may be in conflict with the point of view of the censor. Some may consider extreme political correctness to be related, as a socially-imposed (rather than governmentally imposed) type of restriction, which, if taken to extremes, may qualify as self-censorship.

I would like to hear more about why Miami Beach police spokesperson Bobby Hernandez is "disappointed" that Judge Thomas followed the law. The crime was sick. The perps are animals and deserve to be executed.

I am disappointed that FDLE screwed up an extremely serious, and very sad investigation. I am disappointed the officers could not (or would not) follow the law and obtain the evidence in accord with the laws of this state and the constitution.

I am disappointed that that evidence that shold have been used at trial will not. I am disappointed that the state's case against these animals has been weakened. I am more than disappointed at the Miam Beach PD. DONT PASS THE BUCK WHEN YOU FUCK UP.

I am , however, glad we have prosecutors like Abe Laeser who will hopefully convict these fools despite the usual police screw ups.

Perhaps the police should re-examine how they do business instead of passing the blame.

We appreciate what you do when you do it the right way, but it seems you dont do that very often these days.

For the first time since January 1, 1959, Cuba is not under the rule of Fidel Castro. While it is still too early to predict what the outcome of this event will be, it is clear that Fidel Castro's hold on power has weakened and will come to an end in the not too distant future.
With this fact in mind, CABA re-affirms its right and obligation to participate and promote a peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba and offers its full support to the Cuban people inside and outside the island. To achieve this goal, we acknowledge and support the following fundamental principles:

1. That the Cuban people are entitled to live and enjoy the rights and duties of a functioning true democracy;


2. That the Cuban people are entitled to enjoy the fundamental human rights encompassed by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights;


3. That all the Cuban people, including those Cubans who have been forced to leave Cuba for political reasons, and their children, have an inalienable and fundamental right to participate in promoting and establishing of democracy and human rights in Cuba;


4. That the Cuban people are entitled to a free and fair process to draft a new constitution and an explicit Constitutional guarantee of personal rights, to establish of an independent judiciary, to elect legislators, and elect executive officials; and


5. As a starting point for Cuba's transition to democracy, CABA petitions the immediate release of all prisoners of conscience held in Cuban jails, the dissolution of all internal state security organizations, the establishment of freedom of speech, religion, and association, the recognition of private property rights, and the open and unequivocal commitment of the Cuban government to the promotion and protection of human rights and a democratic process.


In closing, CABA calls upon all people of good conscience to stand up in defense of the beleaguered dissent movement in Cuba. When dictatorships feel threatened they lash out against those who speak their conscience, and we must rally to their side in the difficult but hopeful days ahead.

Corali Lopez-Castro, CABA President

wait just a minute the bad guys in this picture is the officer at the FDLE who was so stupid as to not read that criminal his rights prior to the guys crying confession.

Just as in the first year of law school you learn about the right to have a lawyer, well the first year in cop school you learn that if you dont read him his rights you are a big creep because something like what just happened above did.

Now the moral of the story is that if Judge Rothenberg a/k/a "will never fine a reason to deny a prosecutor motion" get on the panel of the appeal the order will be reversed and fat chance the supreme's will have jurisdiction and USA supreme court oh well that will happen.

Over and out.

To clarify one time: I am banned from the PDO by Brummer , as is Lynn Overman. No reason was given, although the reason is pretty clear: We were a bit too vocal and energetic in our attempt to oust Brummer and crew. My picture hangs on a wall inside the receiptionists' cubicle on the 1st floor. On another wall about 20 feet away is a picture of Brummer receiving the ACLU's Free Speech Award.

Also, contrary to what a previous poster wrote, I have never had a problem with Judge Jimenez and have no idea what that was about, although I appreciate the spirit of the post.

In response to: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 6:31:54 PM.

I have in my hands Judge Bronwyn Miller's English and Spanish palm cards. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!
1) English reads "Retain Judge Bronwyn C. Miller" - Spanish reads (translated) "Reelect Judge Bronwyn C. Miller" MAY I ADD THIS IS A VIOLATION OF JUDICIAL CANONS.
2) Spanish reads "Judge Miller was appointed by Governor Bush on March of 2005" ENGLISH makes no reference.
3) English reads "Judge Miller is assigned to the South Dade Justice Center, Civil Division" - Spanish adds "Small Claims and Domestic Violence."
4) Eleventh in Spanish should be "Onceno" not "Onceavo" HIRE A BETTER TRANSLATOR NEXT TIME!
5) Spanish reads "Judge Miller is a member of the Cuban Bar Association" - English makes no reference to this.
6) Mentor is not Tutores it is simply Mentor in Spansih as well. Again HIRE A BETTER TRANSLATOR.
7) Spanish reads "Judge Miller is a member of the National Hispanic Bar Association" - English makes no reference.
8) English reads "Judge Miller was a mentor for 'Communities in School' and 'I Have a Dream' Foundation" - Spanish makes no reference. and
9) English reads "Judge Miller serves on the board of the Jewish Volunteer Center" - Spanish makes no reference.

Now what do you think about your great, ethical and honest Judge Bronwyn Miller? She is obviously camnpaigning unethically by running an ethnic and divisive campaign. I don't know if I'll vote for George Alvarez but I do know that I WILL NOT VOTE FOR Bronwyn Miller.

If she spoke both spanish and english I may and I say may have a small issue with it. She does not speak spanish and has no way of personally proof reading the flyer as such she relied on a third parties representation to her.

Please go away stop bashing this judge. If Alavarez is a better person than he will win. If he is not than he will lose.

One last thing when I see that our mayor Carlos Alvarez has endorsed a person that speaks volumes. News Flash: Carlos Alvarez did endorse publically Judge Miller.

Who is endorsing GEORGE "JORGE" ALVAREZ? Judge hernandez and his wife. Juan D'Arce and his organized crime group of judicial canidates.

Bad translations may not be a big deal to you but if she's using the term "Re-Elect" that is a huge campaign violation. In prior campaigns others who were appointed have been sanctioned for using the term re-elect as opposed to retain.

Its sad that only on this blog is it acknowledged that we are 1) in fact...human beings...with families...that we love and wish to protect...from the very people that we defend. Apparently, we are the only ones who understand us and how important we are (ha ha). All joking aside, something in our society has changed, polarized this country of ours. Thanks for expressing that we do NOT celebrate the suppression of a confession by a cold-blooded killer, we celebrate that the law was followed.

What campaign consulting experience does Pertierra have? What services has he, is he or will he be providing for such a high fee? Where did Migna get her 25k from (remember Pando's loan?)? Why would Migna give 25k to Pertierra when other well known consultants charge considerably less?

Why are people talking about how brave Judge Thomas was? HE DID HIS JOB! I represented a lawyer in an bench trial where he was acquited after the Trooper told the truth. The Judge, after acquitting my client told him to thank the Trooper. He said "Why? She's supposed to tell the truth." Judge to remain nameless.

Rumpole said...

People are talking about Judge Thomas because human nature being what it is, we have all seen Judges in the spotlight not follow the law but follow either public opinion or issue a ruling because in the Judge's personal opinion they didn't want someone getting away with a crime.

I feel pretty sure that neither Judge Thomas nor anyone familiar with the facts of this horrible case would want these people getting away with anything if they are guilty. But what we are praising is the belief that is becoming more and more rare- the recognition that it is a greater injustice to pervert the law and not follow it, then to ignore the law to assist the prosecution.

Should Judges do this everyday?
Sure.
Do they?
No.

Is Mr. McGillis aware that based on his traffic record, the "no points or your money back" guarantee would not apply to him should he hire a ticket lawyer?

I saw some of Miami Beach's finest in their shiny little stirrups standing beside their motorcycles with radar in hand controlling the major speeding problem on Alton Road. Well done, gentleman. If you have a break from those pressing issues, feel free to learn what Miranda is. That way, you won't risk putting rapist/murderers back on the street.

I know it is real hard, but if you put your thinking caps on, you can do it.

Captain get your facts straight about Miller's palm cards. Yes she has cards that say "Retengamos" but only after distributing hundreds of cards that clearly said "Reelegir". A clear JQC violation. She knows it and you should know it too. Whether Alvarez decides to act on it or not is up to him.

Judge Miller's Spanish campaign palm card measuring 4" x 6" reads on three places "Reelegir" 1) Top Front, 2) Top Back, and 3) Bottom Back. I don't car what her web site says. Elderly low-income Hispanics, which we all know vote in high percentages, do not have internet access. They rely on the material given to them by the candidate and her proxies. Judge Miller - Shame on you!

Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Laeser,
but with all this talk of Judge
Thomas granting the Motion to Suppress on Lebron, didn't he also
deny the Motions to Suppress statments on almost all of the other defendant's? Ofcourse it still took balls, but it's not like
the guy gutted the entire case.

why does it take balls to follow the law. i think it takes balls to break the law, b/c then you risk living in a cage and eating grade D bologna sandwiches. eatin that DOC food takes balls.

To 10:19 a.m. blogger:
1. There is other evidence in the case. Unfortunately, while jurors love DNA in a rape case as proof of guilt, it does not carry the day during penalty phase in a capital crime. They may love fingerprints and DNA during guilt phase - but want to be "sure" that they are not voting to execute the innocent. That confession does wonders to assuage their concerns.
2. Yes, the judge admitted a large volume of evidence - I assume because it was admissible.
3. Yes, the case against at least one defendant was substantially weakened. Perhaps I should take the suggestion of opposing counsel and make them an offer they could not refuse. Not my idea of JUSTICE. I am looking forwand to the outcome of those matters on which I have already filed a notice of appeal.

P.S. Thanks for perking up 'lunch' at my desk.

Miami Beach PD is primarily a traffic enforcement agency and FDLE doesn't deal much with street crime. They should have sought assistance from Miami-Dade PD's homicide unit.
