Most people do not realize that the Third District Court of Appeal is the last appeal available to the citizens of Miami-Dade County and Monroe County on almost every legal issue. A loss in the Third District Court of Appeal almost always may never be appealed to the Florida Supreme Court, leaving a litigant only one appeal to the United States Supreme Court which will likely be denied very quickly. The United States Supreme Court accepts for review less than 1% of all appeals filed in their court, in addition just the printing cost of the briefs in this court will set you back $5-k.<BR/><BR/>The Third District Court of Appeal has literally in essence denied almost 50% of all the appeals filed by the citizens of Miami-Dade County and Monroe County, by issuing what is called a PCA, meaning the Court denies the review without any reason. Although the Florida constitution guarantees the right of appeal, the Third District Court of Appeal has side swiped this right by issuing a PCA denial of review. All PCA orders in Florida are NOT reviewable by the Florida Supreme Court and any attempt to seek review by the Florida Supreme Court will be denied on its face by the Clerk of the Florida Supreme Court (this decision is by choice of the current justices of the Florida Supreme Court). As noted filing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court is basically useless.<BR/><BR/>This November 7th, 2006, is the opportunity for the Voters of Miami-Dade County and Monroe County to send a message to the Third District Court of Appeal that we will not tolerate not being allowed meaningful appeals. An appeal is a right guaranteed by the Florida constitution, for example you could lose your, freedom, child custody, house, life savings and so much more by a trial court who might not follow the law and on appeal the Third District Court could simply say PCA without any explanation. Some have written on the subject that it is because of lazy Judges that sit on the Third District Court of Appeal that over 50% of the appeals are PCA denied without reason.<BR/><BR/>Miami-Dade County has been known as the capital of judicial corruption since the F.B.I. sting of the 90's titled "Operation Court Broom" that nailed several Miami-Dade Judges who took money bribes to fix the results of cases. In Miami it means so much more to get meaningful due process and provided a reason why you lose your freedom, house, car, life savings, etc;. When justice does not work in a town full of history of corrupt Judges it gives the appearance of impropriety. A detailed account of “Operation Court Broom” and the resulting indictments and trials, including the trial of Judge Sepe, is contained in the opinion in United States v. Shenberg, 89 F.3d 1461 (11th Cir. 1996), cert. denied sub nom. Sepe v. United States, 117 S.Ct. 961 (1997). CLICK HERE to read the details of this case.<BR/><BR/>No appeals Judge in any Florida appeals court has ever been removed by the voters. We believe it takes 51% of the voters to vote "NO" for the Judge to be removed.

I remove from that list cops who pretty much have to be associated with them becuase they get sued or threatened for making arrests, as well as anyone who contributes after the current leadership is ousted. The PBA would have a lot more credibility if they actually did a little "self-policing" and didn't support corrupt cops when the facts were obvious as all daylight. Then maybe someone would listen to Rivera for a reason other than FEAR. Probably makes him feel good to run it that way though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1148411645233769232006-05-23T15:14:00.000-04:002006-05-23T15:14:00.000-04:00i think camacho adrien wants to join the pba so th...i think camacho adrien wants to join the pba so they can vote for him once he's up. because of all the bonehead crap he's pulled up so early in his career, he's wisely thinking about the future. hey, he wants to keep that job. who can blame him???? do you think he can have a private practice and support himself and his family adequately?

At the same time, you can get burned. In my case, I got burned," Grieco said.<BR/><BR/>Those were the words of one Mike Grieco tonight on the NBC6 piece about the Internet and MySpace.com. For those of you who did not see the story, it focused on what the possible negative effects to your job and your career - keeping a MySpace site - could do.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the story, the reporter indicated that Mike was continuing with his DJ career, but was also hanging his shingle and opening a criminal defense law firm.<BR/><BR/>So, DJ Esquire, here is some advice:<BR/><BR/>1. Be just as strong an advocate for your defense clients as you were for your past employer.<BR/><BR/>2. Read the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to the US Constitution and argue for their protections zealously in court.<BR/><BR/>3. Apply to the Private Court Appointed Counsel Registry. Not only because you may want the steady stream of cases, to start out, but also because it is the right thing to do. Defending those who otherwise could not afford your services brings you back to the reason you became a lawyer, and now a criminal defense lawyer. To protect your client from the government and from all their omnipotent powers and from their abuse of those powers, whenever that should arise.<BR/><BR/>4. Remember, as a criminal defense lawyer, you are now "Liberty's Last Champion".<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the other side Mike .....<BR/><BR/><BR/>and the CAPTAIN has spoken .....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1148353980488991782006-05-22T23:13:00.000-04:002006-05-22T23:13:00.000-04:00Fingerhut is really cuteFingerhut is really cuteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1148350685257883502006-05-22T22:18:00.000-04:002006-05-22T22:18:00.000-04:00JJJ stick to what you are good at - what was that ...JJJ stick to what you are good at - what was that anyway?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1148348234018973442006-05-22T21:37:00.000-04:002006-05-22T21:37:00.000-04:00Vas is dis "ass rape"?Vas is dis "ass rape"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
