THE CURE FOR INSOMNIA

Elder statesman Richard Hersch wrote a small novel on Muldowny. Its under the comments section. When it’s 2AM, and you can’t sleep, long on and read it. Thanks Richard!. If that doesn’t put you out, the Captain has an equally long rant against the Herald.

Readers keep their red hot radar glued to Judge Lindsey (in the absence of any juicy REGJB scandals. Hang in there Judge L…something or someone will replace you.)

A reader Googles for the hell of it:

If one were to "Google" Judge Lindsey one would find that she was the Executive Director of Jeb Bush's specially appointed "Growth Management Study Commission." (I wonder how she got this gig now?). Also, she was a member of the Independent Women's Forum, (www.iwf.org), whose stated mission is to "combat the women-as-victim, pro-big-goverment ideology of radical feminism." Maybe it was this same radical ideology that advocated for women to be judges and lawyers in the earlier part of the last century.

Another Reader witnessed the most infamous denial of a pro-se motion to dismiss since… actually we cannot remember a more infamous denial of a pro- se motion to dismiss.

I was there too. Judge Lindsey did not even understand the argument and just ruled for the state as a knee jerk reaction. Boy did Jeb do us a favor with her appointment. Does anyone LIKE the way she runs her court?

A reader made some money in Judge Lindsey’s courtroom:

Watchin Judge Lindsey make a decision is about as painful as a rectal exam. The other day, it took her 30 mins to make a decision on a basic criminal matter. It was so painful that a group of lawyers created a $1.00 bet as to what her decision would be. When all was said and done, the judge heroically stepped up to the plate and deferred ruling.I left with $5.00 in my pocket!When is she up?


An Alert reader overheard this:

Rump: I heard someone use the term "rule of Lenity" this morning. Uh, oh....

Rumpole replies: Pity the poor lawyer who used that term and now everyone thinks they’re Rumpole. We were North of The Border all day, and now its time to drink. The comment also shows the tremendous power and influence we yield. (See how quickly the alcohol takes effect?).

Captain stirs the electoral pot:

2008

For those of you thinking about mounting campaigns against Lindsey or Arzola, the following County Court judges are up for re-election in 2008:
Rosa Figarola
Jacqueline Schwartz
Nuria Saenz De La Torre
Norma Lindsey
Antonio Arzola
There will also be approximately 34 Circuit Court Judges up for re-election in 2008.Good Luck .............

Rumpole concludes with the thought that Judge Lindsey is new and may very well turn out to be a fine Judge. Perhaps someone who is friends with her could discuss some of these perceived shortcomings?

As we see it (with admittedly limited evidence) all she really needs to do is stop deferring to the prosecution whenever she does not know what to do.

Try 1-800-Call-Sam for the Judge Slom hotline.

See You In Court silently cheering Judge Lindsey on to bigger and better and less state oriented rulings. Try granting a motion every now and then….who knows…you may like it.

MOTION DENIED!

Robin Faber is in juvy b/c he doesn't have either the ability or the drive to handle real felonies. Lets not pretend with this social worker-I-love the kids bullshit. Anyway, he has no chance to beat Hernandez in an August election. Just absolutely Zero. No one gives a fuck about the Herald or some corruption involving county time and his secretary, and... Too inside baseball. 59-41 Hernandez. If you wanna have chance, faber, run against Miller or someone like that. Some one who is not a sitting Cuban judge. And you're gonna cry corruption against his Hispanic secretary? When you're a Anglo boy? Damn you're an idiot.

Why hate on Faber? the guy has a right to run, and seems to be a pretty bright guy. I'm tired of the racial shit.

Rumpole laughed out loud in reading the first post. How true how true.

HEY, I WOULD WORK FOR YOU JASON, BUT TOO BAD YOUR SUCH A PENIS.

I'm not saying who I am, but if that Judge David Miller crap doesn't come down ASAP, I'm going to be in a real bad mood when I sentence someone (and I'm in civil) so get it down rump before someone goes to jail for a very long time.

You Know whom.

you're not qualified.

Hey Penis, I know of two guys who would make a great fit with you, and they come in a sack. One is named Juan and the other is TBA.

Dear Jason
My name is Dennis Murphy. Can you hold that position open for a couple more months?

no josie, you need to practice law before becoming judge - at least most judges do that

Jason,

Just advertise at the SAO. The life expectancy of an ASA is about 1.4 years lately.

Lindsey does a great "deer in headlights" thing when she is asked to make a ruling.

Do dim your lights before entering her courtroom.

It's amazing how many jealous "shit for brains" losers post on this blog. Rumpy, you should have a rule - if you don't charge more than $69/case, you can't post.

Anonymous said...

$69/case is not bad, with police doing the kind of work their doing it doesn't take too much work to beat a case. We can only charge what the market will support.

lindsey is not the only birdbrain around. Has anyone checked Peter "camacho" adrien's courtroom lately? not only he looks at the C prosecutor for the answer, but the words don't come out right.

He is usually speaking Creole. If you know creole, you'll be outta there in a little minute, Bra.

he has something of a lisp. when i was a little boy i had one also.

Re: previous post, I agree. and the faces, the faces that he does when yelling at attorneys who know the law a thousand times more than him, just sickens me.

a real battle is gonna be mirranda v. glazer.

We all should donate some $ to Murphy. Even if you can only afford a little. He's a good judge, and his opponent is completely unqualified. We don't need another idiot on the bench.

Rump, there is a very interesting rumor going around that Judge Bertila Soto and Hecot Loncaca called Ms. Gloria Gonzalez to get her to move out of the Group she is at an put her elsewhere. I just read an opinion from the JQC and Supreme Court and Judge Soto may have just commit a great offense for calling a candidate and Mr. Loncaca as well since he is on a Committee for a Judge(s) and thus the Judge is responsible for his actions. Not to mention his appointment on the JNC by the Governor which sounds to me like conflict out of Iraq. Can you (Rump) or the Captain please investigate and let us know. Please Rump, urge Ms. Gonzalez to write to the Blog about this matter. I am surprised to hear this BS as I hear her husband is a cop. Can someone call Loncaca and get his side as well. I know he is a bit arogant, but why shake people down? Rump, only you can prevent a Forest Fire, only you!

Rumpole - it is time to stop hiding the truth - tell your readers that Judge David Miller is the runaway winner in the Best ASA Poll - disclose!

Anonymous said...

One more thing, it is also said that Judge Ripyourhearout has called the famous Albert Q. to make sure his trusted lawyer will not run agaisnt her. As well, she is taking Judge McWhorter around to many events helping her campaign. What's the deal? Did Democracy end in Miami-Dade County? It is against the JQC to call and scare people Judge Ripyourhearout. What are you thinking. Rump, mucho Furgo in the Ripster and McWhorter. Of course, allegedly.

I love Judge Peter Adrien. What a good man with a great heart. Talk about style!

Barzee is so hot. I once committed a sex crime in her Honor.

IF you think a violation occurred, why don't you file a complaint?

Rumpole has better things to do, like initiate a poll on how long it will take the gods to hide judge lindsey over in civil.

Anonymous said...

Listen, all these "I can't find a job anywhere else" judges are calling everyone and having their consultants call everyone to beg them to leave them and their friends alone.

Everyone knows what is going on, and no one will do anything about it. Like the bond thing - whine whine whine........

lets talk about more important things, like who else is filing against who.

DAVID MILLER IS LAUGHING AT ALL OF US!!!!!!!!

Bon Voyage El Capitan.. PS We removed the post with the fuuuuuu.. with about a hundred "u"s because it annoyed us. Plus that Judge Barzee post is cutting it real close, but we think she has a sense of humor and will laugh it off.

Rumpole said...

PSS why does someone think we play poker?? That comment is so far off the mark and it has always mystified us. What Poker game? Where? And who at that game do you think we are?

I commit a sex crime to your image every night, Rump. I usually miss but I must admit that I do sometimes hit the mark.

judge lindsey granted my motion to dismiss last week. i got no complaints.

Adrien is nice how? Did he say hello and good morning? He isn't nice. But if nice is the standard for good judges we are in trouble. But if being competent, courteous, compassionate, firm and intelligent are the things we look for in a jurist, Adrien is seriously lacking. Enjoy your first six. Your time is limited.
