Talk about the voice of the people.
Chief Judge,
On behalf of Major Jeanniton and as it relates to the Demonstration scheduled for 5pm
this afternoon at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building, I would
like to inform you that we are working on an operational plan to secure
the safety and security of the Judicial Staff along with all of the
employees and visitors at the court house. Respectfully, we would
request that you advise all personnel at the REGJB
of this pending demonstration and order that they vacate the complex by
4:30 pm
today. The Court Services Bureau Law Enforcement personnel would
respectfully be requesting to utilize the underground parking of the
complex to secure the vehicles along with
other law enforcement gear. We will be working in coordination with the
City of Miami Police Department in this endeavor and based on previous
demonstrations the event is expected to end by 10pm this evening. Any and all assistance you can provide would be
greatly appreciated.
Respectfully
Carlos M. Vazquez, Captain
Miami-Dade Police Department
Court Services Bureau
Of course real leaders (like perhaps the State Attorney) would stay and speak to the people.
Bobby's finest moment. This is what a real leader does.

Can we please discuss how county court ASAs have become little demons who want everyone to go to jail? Talk about a lack of perspective.
I have seen an inordinate amount of comments regarding the competency of the lawyers being elected to the bench. However, I have also seen the quality of ASAs/PDs diminish greatly. What sayeth the blogosphere?
That's certainly not her MO.
He was hypocritical, entitled, and quite ruthless during his brother's uninspiring administration, but after November the pain suited him very well. He seemed humbled and genuinely empathetic.
I thought about this particular speech during the Baltimore riots recently. He was warned about the possible outbreak of violence, but he insisted on going out there and talking to the crowd (almost seemingly from his heart). Nothing compares to his speeches after his brother died. There was a depth of character that wasn't there before. He would have made an excellent president, but Fate had other plans. She usually does, doesn't she?
Strange how death tends to add depth. In a sense that kind of pain can reflect the most beautiful part of humanity. Our ability to feel and love deeply.
Great post, Rump.

"And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born."
That was my personal contribution for this evening.
You are all very welcome.

Who is the county judge that you most hope a cases falls in front of? My personal favorite at the moment is Dawn Denaro. I recently came before her and she was polite balanced and made me look good in front of my client. I also think she will sentence my client fairly if I loose at trial.
I saw that there is a so called "legal legends" seminar coming up. Two of the participants are Ruiz-Cohen and Gordo. Neither deserve to be on this program. Neither have ever tried a civil case and have just come over from criminal. I would think the organizers of this seminar could do a lot better obtaining qualified judges for this program. No one could ever learn anything from these two. No "LG" comment.

9:29 - If you are "loose" in your arguments at trial then you will probably "lose" the case.
And, REG is on my way home. Drove by yesterday at about 6. It was a ghost town. Not 1 single person was out anywhere.
9: 29 am... You are right about Dawn Denaro. She's to be trusted and is reasonable in pleas.
I find her to be terrific and the prosecutors like her too.

Gotta chuckle at the REGJB being vacated at 4:30. Strip away the first floor and that is a standing order 24/7/365

Heard there was no sex in the bathroom today at the investiture. These things are getting lame.
Dear FATE,
Can I return the slings and
arrows of my outrageous fortune?
We may or may not be turning your blog into a very inappropriate dinner party, Rump.
Dear anonymous readers:
If you're a whiny, bore we'll have the guillotine ready for you. If you have gossip it better be the salacious kind.

I can hear the crickets coming from the SDFLA blog.
No, do nothing. After all, didn't she save you from a sea of troubles and some heartache?

Can we discuss how people in Miami Dade get away with some of the most lenient sentences in the country and our rate of recitivism is so much higher. Appreciate what you have here try going to our south or north to see what the plea offers are, then you will get some perspective.
Oh good grief. Gordo and Ruiz-Cohen are LEGENDS now. That's just silly.
Ruiz-Cohen is at least competent and polite, but Gordo has shown herself to be neither. But legends? Legends of what?
(Does it make me a misogynist to point out that neither of these two is to be revered? Or are we all supposed to pretend the emperor is wearing fine clothes?)
Anonymous ASA @ 8:09 AM:
Are you suggesting we incarcerate people for a minimum of 10-20 years for stupid shit? Where are we going to put all these people? My point is that the majority of arrests are bullshit.
Give me an example of what you're talking about. Not a hypothetical where someone was charged with murder, attempted murder or raped. Those don't count.
Tell me what we should do about a guy involved in a common brawl. Should he go away for a year or two? Perhaps three?

I didn't see the county court reference. That's hilarious. Yeah, I guess it's because they're newbies and lack perspective. They won't be like that for long. By the time they get around to becoming As they'll realize how unreasonable they were as newcomers.
While we discuss plea offers in other states, perhaps we should also address nihilism?
