THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
At just after 9:00 pm tonight, Governor Charlie Crist signed into law Senate Bill 1088 effective immediately. The new law changes the way all court appointed counsel cases will be handled in the future. The JAC Court Appointed Counsel system that began on July 1, 2004 is officially history and the new "second public defender's office" will now represent most of the conflict cases when Bennett Brummer's office files a conflict.
Kudos to the FACDL for trying their best to get the governor to veto the bill; (he did actually veto bills on residential tenancies, vessel registration, health care and cosmetology, but 1088 was not one of them).
