Therafter, I became a prosecutor where we were involved in the Harbor case, one of the largest drug prosecutions in SDFL -- 28 defendants & 5 tons of cocaine. He was a pleasure to have on either side -- the voice of reason and gentility. He was always so professional with a great sense of humor. You could always trust him because his word was his bond. A humble man who never lost his common touch even after he became a judge. My most profound sympathies to his family and his dear friend Karl. He will be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-6122404129402485462012-01-19T18:27:06.461-05:002012-01-19T18:27:06.461-05:00Yes I completely agree.

As to Judge Glick, his agreement to write a letter on behalf of the defendant he sentenced to life without parole not only speaks well of Judge Glick, but highlights the awful problem of minimum mandatories and sentences that are not subject to any review. How many more people are in prison who have reformed and who would benefit from a review of their case twenty years later?Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-11429144121530834382012-01-19T17:26:15.710-05:002012-01-19T17:26:15.710-05:00Hey Bob.......how about commending Lenny Glick and...Hey Bob.......how about commending Lenny Glick and Reid Rubin for writing letters as well.

At the time it was the first case in Florida charging a defendant with Trafficking in over 150 Kilos. The presiding Judge was Lenny Glick and the State was Reid Rubin and Rae Shern. After lenghthy dliberations the defenadant was found guilty and sentenced to Life without parole.<br /> Fast forward 17 years..Judge Julio Jimenez asks me a favor..to do a request for Commutation of Sentence From the Governor..the sentence was just not fair..<br /> He called the warden of the prison and soon we were speaking to Daniel Sanchez our client. Unbeknowst to us Danny had started the petition..he said he was in the chappel and something had told him to wait..that someone would call him. Three days later, I recieved his clemency package in the mail.<br />Judge Glick and Reid Ruben both wrote letters supporting a commutation of sentence to CTS.<br /> I was able to argue for a Commutation in the Capitol Building in front of the Governor and the Cabinet and my petition was granted on the spot.<br /> Julio believed in what was just and fair. I will always remember him. He was a great mentor and friend. He gave me my start in private practice.<br /><br />Thank you Julio..you will be remembered and you will be missed.<br />RIP<br />Bob PardoBob Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059277280677794409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-20607894407725258472012-01-18T21:00:34.734-05:002012-01-18T21:00:34.734-05:00Julio Jimenez defended me back in 1993 and got me ...Julio Jimenez defended me back in 1993 and got me a plea deal that let me continue on with my life and become a productive member of the community.

He was a generous, genuine, smart man who gave me my start in private practice. The support that the family received in the last two days is a testament to his life. He was proud of Carlos, Katia and Lisa. He will be watching over them as they move on with their lives without his presence. <br /><br />Julio's wife Lili taught me the definition of unconditional love. She was a rock at his side. For those of us that saw her during the last six months she taught us how to be a better husband, wife and partner. <br /><br />RIP JEJ<br /><br />Carl KafkaCarl Kafkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-82261714327753920602012-01-18T20:30:27.800-05:002012-01-18T20:30:27.800-05:00Rumpole, I seriously hope you tackle the issue of ...Rumpole, I seriously hope you tackle the issue of the court house perhaps causing people to get cancer.<br /><br />It's just way to serious to ignore.

I understand that there may be some statutory requirement that says as soon as the JNC Chair receives a letter from the Governor's Office of an open seat, they must set a schedule and advertise for the open seat.<br /><br />In the case of Judge Jimenez, they could have waited until the body was buried.<br /><br />Instead, they issued a Press Release TODAY advertising for the open seat. In fact, I think they handed it out at the 12:30 Mass this afternoon.<br /><br />FOTC <br />FOBOBfotc fobobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-33655621853927079142012-01-18T15:33:36.750-05:002012-01-18T15:33:36.750-05:00Beautiful memorial for Julio today.
