THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
"It wouldn't bother me if we took them up to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and threw them off, and if things were right with God they’re traveling in that direction anyway ....."
Those are the words uttered today by Florida Republican House member Brad Drake***. Drake has had it with our belly-aching over whether lethal injections may have been causing some pain to death row inmates. So today he filed HB 325 and will ask the Florida legislature next Spring to bring back firing squads and fire up "Ole Sparky".

The Florida Representative claimed he heard the idea at the local Wafflehouse and thought it was good enough to file a Bill at the legislature.
For the intellectually bankrupt Republicans, the local Wafflehouse is the best place to drum up ideas lately
That County COurt list reads like the who's who of the Florida Bar...NOT!
I really thought Ortiz and Lindsay were gonna wait out for US Supreme Court spots.
Norma Lindsey is God Awful stupid. The thought of her presided over a murder case gives me chills. Judge Miranda is too tempermental and takes things way too personally. But there are a quite a few judges on the circuit bench who share the same qualities. Let's hope that White-Labora finally gets her ticket to the circuit bench.
I haven't appeared before Judge Rebull yet. He's got big dainty feet to fill. I heard from a Judge that Miguel De la O spoke at Rebull's investiture and brought down the house. Apparently they're very good friends, and unless you read the Captain's reports regularly you would not have known Miguel was up for the seat Scott gave to Rebull. I wonder if that's ever happened before.
the Orlando three - the caraballo brothers and joel lebron all deserve the death penalty. preferably to be tortured after they rot for 20 years in prison.
so does chavez- the animal who raped and killed jimmy rice...
they should be burned alive people. the firing squad is much to humane!!
I think Ivonne Cuesta will be a good Judge. This is based on the fact that I have worked w/ her and she is smart, knows the law and has lots of common sense. She should have a good Judicial Temperment, also.

Nice work Captain, but hasn't Rumpole showed you yet how to include a hyperlink inside your piece without having to type the entire http?
You have to do something really, really bad to be suspended by the Bar for 3 years and this yahoo wants to be a judge?

I will shortly be introducing my patented "10-10-10" plan as well as my patented "10-J-Q-K-A" plan to jump start the economy because as everyone knows three 10's beats three 9's and a straight beats trips any day.
To 12:29. You can't possibly be DS. That would be his first and only post without a spelling or typographical error. See 5:55 pm as proof.
To 12:59. My teenage daughter wasn't available. She is the only one who can help me in that area.
Cap Out ....
Is this genius the same Williams Pena Wells running against Fleur Lobree......

ABSTRACT
The United States acquired the Spanish colonies of East and West Florida in 1819 by virtue of the Adams-deOnis Treaty. At the close of the Spanish American War of 1898, the United States and Spain signed a treaty which “abrogated” and "annulled” all prior treaties, including the Adams-deOnis Treaty. This article proposes that having handed over sovereignty of the Florida territory, the United States merely occupies the area as a colonial power, subject to the provisions of the United Nations Charter, which provides for territorial self-determination of colonial peoples.
LOL
What a track record

I agree with the Captain, 12:29 is definitely not Sisselman. You are a pretender, a poser 12:29.
Does sam slom come with maria ortiz to circuit when she gets the seat?
Ivonne Cuesta is a sanctimonious, two faced moron. God help Miami-Dade County if she ever gets on the bench!
Ivonne Cuesta reminds me of Rippingille. Anybody else?
Cuesta would be ok but typical pd -never been in private practice and never had to earn a living on her own so I'm not sure how she'll treat the private defense bar. Plus I hear she's a bit of a control freak as a supervisor. All we need is another Tunis.
Waffle House. Two words.
Captain

Why haven't there been any press releases or media campaigns regarding the honorable judge Milton Hirsh's new courtroom?
@10:07
Exactly right. He and Rebull were up for the same seat -- and I want to say De LA O has been sent up more times than Rebull (but maybe not).
But De La O was the highlight of the investiture.
Fact is De La O is a class act. I've never quite understood the way some here slam him -- except some here live to slam.
Re: Jon rodriguez:
$100,000 of his own money! Is this job really worth it?
I can think of so many other things to do with that kind of cash.
Befera clearly the best person for the job, although I can not imagine why he would want to don the black robe.
11;51am. Donner spent over a million bucks of her husbands money to wear the robes and buy respectability.
de la O most definitely is a class act.
The reason some slam De La O is because he can be an impossible jerk to deal with.
He may be funny and entertaining but, he has a bad rep with many lawyers for the really stupid positions he has taken in the past.
He also has some very powerful enemies.
I hardly know him but, as the evidence code says, I can testify that he has a bad reputation in the legal community for reasonableness.
To 9:03, you clearly don't know Miss Cuesta.
