{cue Jaws music} JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK INTO THE COURTROOM.....(more Jaws Music)... On Thursday the Governor, sans mask, appointed Judge Rebull to the Circuit Bench. To make it work, we think he has to resign his current spot and then assume the new spot.
On the same day...and we do not believe in coincidences, The Florida Supreme Court REINSTATED Alex Michaels.
What a day!
First, we applaud the appointment of Judge Rebull. We have written before that Judge Rebull is a good judge who made a mistake and we believe learned from it. Let he who has not chastised a pro se litigant cast the first stone- we always say. He now has the opportunity to be a great judge and we are thrilled he has the chance. Second chances are good- are you listening circuit court judges in the criminal division? People make mistakes. They learn from them. Everyone does not need to go to prison for the max- despite the ASA saying like some robot "victim wants the max". Would you just once want to hear a prosecutor say "victim wants two years less than the thirty year max"?
DRACULAWYER:
There is no more passionate advocate for his client than Alex Michaels. He wins first degree murder cases-many of them. Sometimes he goes to jail in the process. But he saves his clients. We also think, like Judge Rebull, he has learned from his mistakes. There are ways to win without crossing lines and we think Alex will do great.
