Some positive news from the SAO today in a news release:
“As of today the Miami Dade State attorney’s office will no longer make plea offers based on the victim wanting the max. We will now evaluate a case based on principles of justice and individual facts and not let the understandable emotions of a victim dictate how we proceed.”
Rumpole says : long overdue.
Did you know ? Apple 🍎was founded today on April 1 1976?
Rumors of a state of Florida Doge- like committee are circulating. Things being considered - 1) eliminating bathrooms for judicial chambers; 2) eliminating diversity training for all state employees; 3) implementing minimum mandatory prison sentences for being homeless ; 4) eliminating drug court and veterans court as wasteful efforts that embrace DEI ; 5) criminalizing the use of transgender pronouns; 6)criminalizing the existence of charitable food banks in communities; 7) mandating all state employees receive two hours of training in the science that there is no such thing as global warming; 8) requiring all state agencies to begin every meeting with a prayer recognizing that Jesus Christ is the lord and savior. 9) Any state employee with a degree from Colombia University between 2010-2025 will be summarily dismissed
Sounds good to us.

SAO announcement is a good April Fools fib.
Now the real question is will they practice what they are preaching-I can't tell you how many times I have heard the victim won't approve the plea-and only a select few good ASA have the you know what to offer a lower plea anyway.
There’s a victim approved plea, and there’s a victim informed plea.
Victims do not have the right to dictate the outcome of a criminal case.
They have the right to be present, the right to be informed and consulted with, and the right to be heard. They do not have the right to determine the sentence.
If someone did harm to me or my family, even minor harm (property damage or financial loss), I’d want to see them tarred and feathered. I’d be far from reasonable and unable to set my emotions aside.
So same set of facts, defendants with no priors, and one gets PTI because he stole the car of a forgiving priest and the other gets a conviction and a year in jail because he stole the car of a vengeful prick like me?
Not fair.
It's almost like justice should be blind
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. All your choices have consequences. Teach that to your children.
You get me almost every year with your April 1, posts. Especially when they purport to be reasonable positions that should be taken....which in hindsight seem equally absurd when you consider who it is that supposedly made them.
Good work.
Doge will find the misuse of federal grant money. You’ll see.
There is an SAO prosecutor not to be named but he’s a very odd person. I was just wondering where they find these people.
NATIONAL LIBERATION DAY!!!!!!!!!
Liberating from what?
