The New York Times reports HERE
that Judge Robert M. Restaino, in a fairly accurate re-enactment of the infamous "strawberry incident" in The Caine Mutiny, took an entire courtroom into custody after no one would admit to owning a cell phone that rang during a hearing.
We are happy to report that such behaviour is not tolerated in New York:
Yesterday, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct recommended the removal of a judge in Niagara Falls City Court who had what the commission’s chairman called “two hours of inexplicable madness” when a cellphone rang in his courtroom.

Remember the time Judge Barbara Levenson took all of the black construction workers in the REGJB into custody, because none would admit to making a comment to one of her Jurors?
ReplyDeleteHow about Gabe Martin. He can manage 200 lawyers. Suspended- so what- he's as qualified now as he was in 04.

The dark haired, blue eyed prosecutor from Law and Order. NOW THAT IS HOT!
ReplyDeleteNelso Bellido for PD!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time a judge took an entire courtroom into custody for a ringing cell phone - have you ever been in a courtroom when one goes off? It makes like 4 seconds of noise and ruins everything for the entire day.
ReplyDeleteThe Job is the Q's if he wants it.
ReplyDeleteCan't you just imagine the PD's office run by the Q?
Fear the Q
Respect the Q
Close your eyes and
become the PD Q
Best quip from yesterday's comments:
ReplyDelete"They say the Pd's office is very roomy
but is it big enough for the Ego of Shumie?"
been laughing about that for a day now.

County court judge john r. sloop (seminole county) had 12 misdemeanor defendants jailed because they did not make it to his courtroomwhen they were misdirected by court personnel and were sitting in the courtroom next door to his. They were strip-searched and spent approximately 11 hours in jail before they were released. He was removed from the bench last year by the Florida Supreme Court, which apologized to them since Judge Sloop didn't.

ReplyDeleteI have 95% confirmation that Leon Firtel will appear on the next edition of Dancing with the Stars. Also strongly considered are Fernando Llamas, Danny Bonaduce, Susan Luci, Joan Rivers, and Ivanka Trump.
ReplyDeleteSoon we'll be calling his honor "twinkle toes."
Seriously, though, Jayne Weintraub wouldn't be a bad choice.
ReplyDeleteEiglarsh wants to know if Channel 6can interview him right away if he announces his candidacy. If not, he won't run.
ReplyDeleteAs long as we're talking about has-beens from a bygone era: Henry Carr, Marvin Emory, Michael Von Zamft, Vinnie Flynn, Max Engel, Joe Durant, and Alan Schwartz
ReplyDeleteWhy didnt Rory get picked by Brummer? Why was he passed over? Take one guess. He's a prick, has zero charm and wants nothing less then to have to work for a living.
ReplyDeleteRUN GAIL RUN!!!!!!!! GAIL LEVINE FOR PD!!!!!!!!! FIRST A RIPPLE, THEN A WAVE, THEN A SURGE, THEN A TIDAL WAVE, THEN A TSUNAMI WILL BUILD FOR GAIL. SHE'S UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSteve Bustamante for PD. Ex-marine, ex-cop, kick-ass attitude, he's the man!
ReplyDeleteWhy not Kenny Weisman for p.d.?
ReplyDeleteHe would move the p.d.'s office to the Palm in Bay Harbor.....
Former Judge Harvey Shenberg is out of prison after 14 years and he would be the very best P.D.
ReplyDeleteHe is very hard working and has the integrity needed to rid us of all confidential informants!!!
WE WANT JAYNE..WE WANT JAYNE...WE WANT JAYNE!!!
ReplyDeleteA REAL LAWYER FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER

ReplyDeleteLet's get it straigt, it's Queeg not Quige and it well describes the Blog's very own "know it all...but not quite in the know" ---blogger: Cap'n., whose posts demonstrate that he is one stawberry short of a pint. Those who rely on Cap'n Queeg (actually a Lt. Commander) for their news, do so at their own peril. Fake Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWE NEED JAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE WILL KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Run Gail, run... before a defense attorney runs you over....
ReplyDeleteGail is not nice and everyone knows it.
Exactly what dopes post on this blog? 2008 gradas of Cooley LS? They mix in the names of practicing attorneys with dead attorneys and can't spell either.
ReplyDelete1:24, your question was?
ReplyDeleteGail at her first arraignment as PD
ReplyDeleteCourt: Ms. Levine, arraign your client.
Levine: We plead Guilty.
Client: Hey, wait a minute. I'm not guilty.
Levine: Oh, wait- Not Guilty.
Judge, he needs a psych eval.
ASA: Judge, we are enhancing the defendant- He is an HO, HVO, GORT, PRRP, three strike offender and a 10-20 life case. We want to go to ROC court.
Levine: God, you ASAs are all alike. Let me guess, the offer is 100 years with a 60 year min man. And I guess it's only good for today, right?
ASA: Yes.
Levine (to client): You better take this deal, pal. This robot ASA is being a real pain in the ass.
Client: But I didnt do it. I have proof that I was out of the state at the time the crime occurred.
Levine: Listen, even if you didnt do this crime, we all know you did something before that you didnt get arrested for. We'll just call it even. Plus, even if you didnt do this crime, you would probably do something else in the future. Just take the deal.
Client: No way, man. You're crazy.
Levine: Judge, I am moving to withdraw on this case. I cant deal with this client.
