Five bucks to the person who has the vote count. How close was it?
A wonderful person and an excellent judge. I hate to lose her from the criminal bench.
63-60
Not close
I hate to see her go but, wow what a wonderful choice.
We now have a Fordham Law School alum as Chief Judge of the 11th Circuit and the Southern District (Mike Moore) Go Rams!!!
who else was in the running?
A far cry from the days of the late great ED COWART, Weatherington, and Farina. We wish her good luck dealing with some of the idiots who populate the bench in this County.
This is so well deserved! Best trial Judge in the Criminal Courthouse. Sad to loose her but know she will be an awesome Chief Judge
Liar.
I believe her opponent was Judge Scott Bernstein of the Family Court.
10:37 is right. It wasn’t close.
Hey Rump how many sycophant criminal defense attorneys bowing down and kissing Sayfie's ring on the listserv do I have to endure today? I mean the butt kissing is just disgusting. She won. She's a good judge. She will do a good job. Do I have to read 500 emails saying the same thing and attorneys falling all over themselves trying to one up the superlatives about Sayfie? It's not like we elected Holmes or Frankfurter or Scalia or Douglas or RBG. Just some state court judge. Relax everyone.
Dear 4:06 PM or should I say, Dear Doofus:
How possibly could these "sycophant criminal defense attorneys" manage to gain any favor with Judge Sayfie. Unless they changed the rules, Judge Sayfie is not on the Listserv. And, you know this.
Do you have to read 500 emails .... ? Ever heard of the word "delete". I guess not.
Captain Out .......
5 bucks? Here it is for free from a source right outside the room: 81-42
I hate that we lose Judge Sayfie but she's being replaced by Judge De la O. The circuit is in good hands all around.
