It's not due to the California earthquakes.
It's not a sign that the apocalypse is upon us.
And it's not the Hindenberg and there are no gasps about the humanity (See below).
But on July 10, 2019, the word, apparently official from the criminal El Jefe Judge Sayfie that division 16, of late being presided over by Judge Del Pino, is, to use the formal legal language, "being collapsed." This means that as of September 13, 2019, (call it "C-Day") the division will cease to exist. As of Wednesday July 10, 2019, the infamous blind clerk in the REGJB will be told to no longer file new cases in division 16. (Many years ago Judge Moreno when he was in criminal court would see how many cases were filed in his division and tongue-in-cheek bemoan that "the blind clerk doesn't like me." This was all based on the "blind-filing" system).
It's sort of like a star going super-nova. The celestial body has used up it's fuel, and wasted, it collapses upon itself, soon to be a black-hole (no, not like Broward County, just a regular black-hole).
So say au-revoir to division 16. The trials; the pleas; the verdicts; the motions; it has all come to an inglorious end.
We hope you had the time of your life.
There was life before Starbucks, the internet, Instagram, cell-phones, Uber-eats, 737-Max aeroplanes and the like. In short there was a world before you millennials started uber-eating your way through it. And in this world, there were things called Zeppelins. They were considered marvels of technology. And in this world there were things called cameras that were not attached to phones. They recorded events on something called "film". Here is one such recording. There are many others.
When you see something that is not right, not fair, find a way to get in the way and cause trouble. Congressman John Lewis

POST MORTEM ....OH THE HUMANITY
If he is analyzing his defeat, Judge Bloch should start by looking in the mirror.
First, based on his financial situation, he received a significant amount of criticism for asking lawyers for donations.
Second, he ran a poor campaign. Personally, we never received a phone call asking us to vote early which is where he lost the election coming out of the gate. There was- to our knowledge- no early get out the vote campaign, and no follow-through phone calls to supporters on election day to ensure they voted. We didn't see one poster, one television commercial-nothing other than one mailer. So on what did he spend his money? No idea.
Third, he got only negative publicity from the lawsuit to knock Del Rey from the ballot. Civil lawyers who were his supporters opined that the lawsuit was weak at best.
As to the citizens of Miami-Dade electing a candidate who resigned from the SAO as an intern because the work was too hard, and then lied about being a prosecutor....we have only one quote: "Oh the humanity"....see below. This is a disaster as a pick for judge. Someone who couldn't work past five now, someday, may be given the power to sentence someone to death? Really? This is the best and brightest of our legal community?
