But the State offered and the Defendant took a reesolution so move on. <br /> It is not relevant to my position that getting rid of DRug use laws , NOT DUIs et.al., is a benufit to the system and a unrightous set of laws in a free society. So Tea Partiers may not like the Gov't telling them they need regulation to build a development and I dont want the Gov't telling me what to injest, or punishing me for it; nevertheless clogging the system , jails , prison and eating up budgets, like the WAR on DRUGS.<br /> Dont just say no, SAy It aint any of your business unless I'm driving, boating or flying.<br />DSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-86742342706985692732011-01-25T21:09:03.638-05:002011-01-25T21:09:03.638-05:002 things;

If <br /> so, then this terrible tragedy <br /> touches the justice building <br /> even more.<br /><br />2) Quit blaming the system for the <br /> shootings. Most of these judges <br /> try to do the right thing. We <br /> live in a major metropolitan <br /> area so all cases cannot result <br /> in litigation. Julio Jiminez <br /> hardly gives the court house away. For the most part, <br /> most resolutions represent the <br /> value that case had (taking <br /> into consideration degree of <br /> proof, how the case was <br /> prepared, guidelines, etc.) <br /> Usually,nobody is getting <br /> something for nothing.<br /><br />To blame the system for the action of a heartless, cold-blooded killer is absurd. To all the players in the criminal justice system, you have got to be a complete idiot to not recognize that there exists, out there, a dangerous subculture that hardly thinks about "tomorrow". Why do you think some of these people turn down seemingly rational dispositions?! <br /><br />The only thing to prevent this horrible tragedy would have been a different tactical approach...which is looking at the situation in hindsight. <br /><br />This killing, tragically, will be celebrated by the growing underworld in our community.<br /><br />The only thing to be done to prevent something like this is to ban handguns, and modify existing laws regarding gun crimes. And, some of these communities must take responsibilty and demonstrate a complete intoleration to harmful behavior, rather than relying on the police.<br /><br />When it comes to morality, despite our titles, most of us are on the same side. <br /><br />To all the anonymous people that feel that they need to assess blame to professionals doing their job, why don't you just blame the mother, after all she gave the murderer birth?!Scott Saulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-68946730047698251682011-01-25T20:21:40.997-05:002011-01-25T20:21:40.997-05:00sissleman in your usual zeal to defend the system ...sissleman in your usual zeal to defend the system and suck up you miss the point. first of all this case was in ROC court where the case load is lower than in a division. there are no BS cases pending there. second the dude had a pvh, it would have taken all of 1 hour for jimenez to try the pvh given the dude a real sentence. instead he just wanted to clear a case off his audit and did what all the ringmasters at the mjb do every day--they offered a plea just to pray to the low audit god.<br /><br />and because of that two cops are dead and a bunch of kids dont have a dad or mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-31079636581448548932011-01-25T20:06:42.888-05:002011-01-25T20:06:42.888-05:00MDP R.I.P I THINK MPD DID A GOOD JOB IAM NOT MAD A...MDP R.I.P I THINK MPD DID A GOOD JOB IAM NOT MAD AT ALL GIVE ME A BREAK U MIGHT NEED THEM ONE DAYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-91613219624650102952011-01-25T18:53:47.490-05:002011-01-25T18:53:47.490-05:00Gun control would have prevented the Tucson AZ kil...Gun control would have prevented the Tucson AZ killings because he bought his gun legally with no gun control laws to prevent a nut job (whom the store clerk did want to sell the gun too but was forced) from buying a gun.<br /><br />Gun control would not have stopped the killing of these two hero's here in Miami.<br /><br />What would have saved these two officers is min mandatory jail time for violent crimes like his past events.<br /><br />Given these events maybe Broward is correct is saying "Let the jury decide" at least I would say I agree to this in all violent felony crimes in which the facts are just not clear on guilt or innocence. Start arresting witnesses and bring them before the court to testify, start holding witnesses in contempt of court and prosecute those who clearly fabricate testimony with perjury.

Because at 7PM Biscayne Blvd. (both north and southbound and I-95 access) were completely gridlocked, we couldn't get out of our parking garage so most attorneys stuck it out at the office until 7:30-8:30, resulting in an extra hour of billables, multiplied by 75-80 people. At a daily increase of $22K-$30K, by my guesstimate. To add insult to injury, I didn't get home until after 8:30 p.m.<br /><br />On a more solemn note, we did hear the cacaphony of hundreds of police car sirens between 8-10 am headed toward the AA arena, and the sight of it (and pedestrians saluting) was quite moving. So all in all, I didn't complain about getting home late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-34951406251265758762011-01-25T13:18:36.630-05:002011-01-25T13:18:36.630-05:00Now brace for all the ad hominem attacks.

Rick Scott and legislative leaders have pledged to offset the state's nearly $4 billion budget shortfall with cuts to the prison system. <br /><br />With that in mind, Florida lawmakers heard testimony Monday from Texas state Rep. Jerry Madden, R-Plano, who sponsored prison reform legislation in his home state. <br /><br />The overriding message: Save money by keeping people out of prison with programs that address drug addiction, alcoholism and mental illness. <br /><br />Madden said prisoners can largely be divided into three categories: Those who will never return, those who are guaranteed to return, and those who won't return if they are enrolled in the right programs. It's the third category that gives you the most bang for your buck, he said, so it's worth it to invest in drug and alcohol treatment programs<br /><br />Read more: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/01/25/2032271/sentence-reform-could-save-state.html#ixzz1C2y301C2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
