Michaels is representing 17 year old Andy Rodriguez in a tragic case where Rodriguez is accused of stabbing to death a fellow Coral Gables Senior Highschool student during a fight.
Yesterday there was an Arthur Hearing before Judge Tunis, complete with a separate metal detector outside of the courtroom. Long time and careful blog readers will remember that when Michaels appeared at the initial hearing in Juvenile court, a melee broke out behind him outside the courthouse as he was being interviewed.
From the Article:
"Who ordered the circus outside?'' Michaels complained to the judge. ``Extra security. Extra cops. Extra metal detectors. I find it very offensive and unnecessary.''
And then this shocking bit of reportage:
"The acerbic Michaels squabbled with Segovia, drawing admonishments from the judge. He asked the detective if it appeared in the surveillance video that Rivera was swinging at his client."
As an adjective, "acerbic" is commonly defined as
| sour or astringent in taste: harsh or severe, as of temper or expression. "Acerbic" just doesn't seem to fit with us regarding Michaels. We seem to recall that Former 3rd DCA Judge Rudy Sorrondo called Michaels "contumacious" in an opinion. That seems a better fit. ROTHSTEIN'S LOO:  |
Indeed.
DOLPHINS WIN LAST NIGHT!
Have a good weekend. It's snowing here. Again.

Whether you were a supporter of Jack Kennedy or not, this weekend is 46 years since that fateful day in Dallas and Nov. 22, 1963 still reins as one of the saddest days in American history.
JFK relics scattered across U.S. still hold mystique

Alex may mean well but, he really should not be a lawyer. He does not believe in the system. That is why he is so frequently in trouble with the Bar. (Did he not have a trial just two weeks ago in one of his Bar cases?)
NO PUMPKIN PIE???????
Alex Michaels is, indeed, acerbic. Everyone in the Justice Building knows it. The Herald's description is accurate.
No worries Rump....Pumpkin pie filling shortage is an urban myth sponsored by Libby's Pie Filling.
Was at Publix in a certain West Broward community today and they had an end-cap with about 500 cans.
In the immortal words of Fake Alex Michaels. Dis report.......Dis is Bullsheeeeet!!!!

You guys are crazy about Alex. What he should be kicked out of the bar because he messes with cops and is a pain in the ass? Somehow I think if every defense lawyer was a former state attorney who had every belief in the justice of the law as the legislature passed it we would have a less acerbic legal system. And a way worse one. If you are a lawyer on either side, or a judge, that can't get a kick out of having Alex in the courtroom, you need a sense of humor. If you think what you are doing is so sacred that his shit denigrates it, then get over yourself. Or do a better job.

Love him or hate him, ALEX fights for his clients with passion. He knows a Defense Attorneys duty is to challenge the powers that be. He is surelyover the top, BUT, I love the guy, myself

All you people talking bullsheeeeeet about me--I challenge all of you to ROMANIAN DEATH MATCH FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Yes but, Alex does not follow the rules. When a judge says don't do that, he does it anyway.
