SNAFU

 FDC is open for legal visits.  Wine Cheese and Masks are available for purchase through the vending machines. 

The Miami Dade Clerk's office (Motto: "Using Yesterday's Technology Today") * Calendar Function (whatever that is) is now working, causing millions to breathe a sigh of relief. The Dow went up a 100 on the news. 

And Omicron is still making everyone sick. 

In other words, an old military acronym is applicable: Situation Normal All F'd Up. SNAFU

QUERY: In a time of a pandemic, do you think it is appropriate to file a speedy trial demand for your client? WE DO NOT. 

Now before you write us nasty emails, there are legitimate exceptions, especially for incarcerated clients who are overcharged and will prevail at trial.  But to the extent smarmy defense attorneys who never try cases (you know who you are) who think they are being smart by filing speedy demands, we vehemently disagree. All you are doing is dragging our end of the profession down to the civil lawyer's status (sorry guys), and no one wants that. 

Yes, for you prosecutors who read the blog and fume at our cheap shots, we are on your side on this one. Now how about offering some reasonable pleas because this new wave has once again shut things down? 

* Good writers borrow but never steal. A wit sharper than ours came up with that saying for the Clerk's Office and we have permission to use it.
