Very civil; nice demeanor. You apparently also are part of the problem. Why can't anyone discuss anything without attacking someone for having a different point of view? Frankly, I expected better of you.<br /><br />We all have either gone through judge school or have plenty of friends who have. The instructors at judge school spend a lot of time teaching new judges how to avoid being embarassed or reversed (for example, often times new judges will be told "when in doubt on evidentiary issues at trial, rule for the defense during trial because the state doesn't appeal when it wins and can't appeal when it loses."<br /><br />Regardless, just because judges reach a conclusion doesn't mean it's right. I certainly can (and do) disagree with the many of the contempt cases I've read (even if the USSC says something, that doesn't mean it's right or that I have to agree with it. Are you telling me that you don't take any positions that are contrary to what you learned at judge school or what a panel of human beings ruled?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-29666045598326159692009-11-05T18:27:21.557-05:002009-11-05T18:27:21.557-05:00Coney!!!

Usually, appropriate warnings solve the problem. When they don't, a contempt citation is appropriate and will. <br /><br />Again, it's unfortunate that people like you can't discuss the issues without making ridiculous comments like "get a life" or suggesting that someone would recommend "spankings" or some other nonsense. <br /><br />Civility starts with and belongs to us all. As does honest discussion/debate. You don't help things when you spend all of your energy slamming people and complaining. Trust me, I know.

Contrary to what you believe, judges ARE empowered to control behavior in their courtrooms. Any lawyer who's been around for any length of time can tell you about courtrooms run by old school judges where proper decorum and legal debate was required and obtained. Many of those judges succeeded in achieving an appropriate level of civility without slamming people or yelling. That can be done again (unfortunately, that's unlikely when so many have poor attitudes and so little respect for the court/system).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-56911841131972225202009-11-05T12:42:22.562-05:002009-11-05T12:42:22.562-05:00Rumpole you have gotta do something on all the fun...Rumpole you have gotta do something on all the fun in Broward. read the comments under this:<br /><br />http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2009/11/tobin_rothstein_firm_going_to_receiver.php<br /><br />And imagine the dust up on Faber and Diaz had this email been sent by Brown:<br /><br />http://jaablog.jaablaw.com/files/34726-32374/tob_blogg.pdfFaber and Diaz are pissed...http://jaablog.jaablaw.com/files/34726-32374/tob_blogg.pdfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-52071678311528224142009-11-05T12:23:54.154-05:002009-11-05T12:23:54.154-05:00" agree that you can only be convicted on org..." agree that you can only be convicted on organized scheme or Gt- the state can file both and get a verdict on both but at sentencing, one will have to be dismissed."<br /><br />Question does that not pose an appeal issue when a jury is considering over charges?

Unfortunately, there are many judges that never had any REAL trial experience, so what do you expect from inexperience? Its societies fault for electing these people. Frankly, I don't care for judges (like Judge Cueto) who are erratic and have public outburst, that gets you nowhere except on the front page of the Miami Herald. What do you propose next? That spankings and ridiculous outbursts are fair game? Our justice system (especially here in Miami), intrinsically, is a freaking joke.
