The Armando Gutierriez who was indicted in New Mexico and is a political consultant there and who may have some ties to South Florida is NOT the same Armando Gutierriez who runs many judicial campaigns in Miami.
Many of you remember Ted Klein. Ace lawyer. Very well respected. Got his dream job as a federal magistrate only to have the building he presided on kill him with mold. The wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court was dismissed last week. The DBR article is here.
Ted was killed by the negligence of federal managers who knew about the mold problem in the courthouse and did nothing about it. It's more than a damn shame- It's a &!*$%&)*&* Tragedy.
Just in case you missed it, Phillies second baseman Eric Bruntlett accomplished for the first time since 1927 an unassisted triple play to end the game in the ninth inning of the Mets/Phillies game on Saturday.
Coming this week: CHAOS AT THE PDS OFFICE. Silent Charlie won't talk, but others have and the stories we hear. Morale at the bottom. Dress codes being enforced for jail visits. Who got raises and who didn't and why. And what about that hush hush sexual harassment complaint? We're getting the details. Stay tuned.
rumpole can you profile judge maria ortiz on here---she fascinates many lawyers
ReplyDeleteI presume Rump you conducted the autopsy, determined the cause, and tested the courthouse for the same pathogens, and concluded a likely proximate cause. right? oh, you didn't? You are just basing off what you read in the review? oh you do not know really what caused his death? you really have no clue who these federal "managers" are? ok then. you moron you. stick to what you really know. very little.
ReplyDeleteRumpole,
ReplyDeleteBefore posting any comments about a hush hush sexual harassment suit and ruining someone's reputation, I would strongly suggest that you do your research and try to contact any parties named or involved for an interview. I recently heard a similar rumor only to find that it was untrue, and I know that the person who is sublect of the rumor is thinking about suing the person spreading the rumor. Just a word of advice, assuming it is the same rumor.
Ted Klein was a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteTed Klein died too young.
It follows that someone is to blame.
(or not)
Rump, 12:09 is a "real" fan of yours.
ReplyDeleteIs it too much to hope it was the same one?
ReplyDeleteTHE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
ReplyDeleteJUDGE MARIA D. ORTIZ ....

CAPTAIN OUT .....
Capatain-what other Maria Ortiz info is there? Did she actually ever try cases, etc? Anyone know?
ReplyDelete"How I do what I do. Defending criminal cases across the country, across the realm, and across and through string dimensions."
ReplyDeleteBy the Q.
UM Legal Lecture Series. Friday Night at 7:30 PM.
Don't miss it.
any more news on the pd intern tearing it up?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone in Miami filing similar DUI motions on the few machines that FDLE employee maintained?
ReplyDeleteI saw Jeff Felier, the International Man Of Mystery in the building today. He's like the James Bond of the REGJB.
ReplyDeleteRumpole, if you've got papers in hand please by all means, "out" whomever needs "outting."
ReplyDeletewhat and when is the um legal lecture series?
ReplyDeleterene sottorio is a cross between the international man of mystery at mjb and the most interesting man in the world on the dos equis commercials.
ReplyDeleteany more news on the porn star pd intern who is banging judges and lawyers?
ReplyDeleteRump, I hate to say it since I really do love the office I work for, but morale at the PDO has really plummeted. Everyone feels like they have someone watching over their back, too much work, no pay, more and more red tape . . .
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to feel like the SAO over here. Lack of discretion + too much oversight = unhappy PD's ready to jump ship.
Rumpole- tell me something technical about the Dolphins that you saw the other night and tell me what you think about tonight's MNF game. I adore you.
ReplyDeleteOK. I'll start with tonights game: J E T S at Ravens.
ReplyDelete1) The Ravens right now look like the class of the AFC. Better than the Steelers or the Cheaters. Punishing defense. Good running game. Very confident QB who is well coached and has a cannon for an arm. 2) Rex Ryan coach of the J..E...T..S. It is really time to start considering salads for a few meals a week.
The Dolphins:
In Cover 2, their base D, their is a consistent break down in weak side run support and pass coverage. They don't have the safeties to provide the support ala Ed Reed for the Ravens or Troy Polomalu for the Steelers. That leads to breakdowns and long pass plays and breakaway runs like you saw the Pathers do. They need help at CB and Safety. They need to sign two veteran Free Agents- 1 safety and 1 CB. Watch the waiver wire. They will be available.
7:35- I agree that Rene Sottorio is an International Man of Mystery as well as The Most Interesting Man Alive.
ReplyDeleteOMG Rumpy, you have no idea how hot you get me. If we we're watching a football game, I don't think we'd get past the kickoff before I ripped your clothes off.
ReplyDeleteI may not be no Angelina Jolie, but I'm 29 and have a rock hard body from the gym and I turn heads. I wish I could turn yours.
About Judge Seidman's ruling ... I'll put money on his decision being overturned ASAP. Even though the underlying premise (that oversight and accuracy of these machines is lacking), you will note that Seidman cited no cases in support of his actions and there was no proof submitted at the hearing that Veiga actually manipulated the machine used in that case. I wonder if there is any coincidence between this ruling and the fact that Seidman has drawn heated opposition (as he is generally seen as being an asshole by the defense bar in Broward) for his position in 2010?
ReplyDeletewhat about the maria ortiz discussion?
ReplyDeletewhat about maria ortiz?
ReplyDeleteDo you think someone should be guilty of DUI just because that someone denied to take a blood test i know you migth be thinking that if you have nothing to hide then why fear but would you acussed someone guilty of DUI jus becase refusal of blood test?
