Our tale of Three Judges starts with Judge Diane Ward, who takes over from Judge Peter Lopez in ROC court. She wanted it and she got it. But we have to question why in the world a judge would want the mind numbing assignment of handling hundreds of robbery and strong arm robbery cases with more minimum mandatories than you can throw a Florida Legislator at, as these cases tend to dominate the ROC court docket.
We move on to everyone's favourite Judge Court Judge AND Crime Fighter; Judge Deborah White- Labora, who was one of many who received a City Proclamation for their activities of 11 August of this year. For those of you who missed it, the Judge was thick in the middle of chasing a would be camera thief who stole a camera from a Herald reporter who was taking pictures of a Taco Truck that the Judge and her family were patronizing. (BTW- we've looked for this famous Taco truck, and haven't been able to find it. Can someone tell us location, hours and whether the guacamole is any good?)
And we end up with Judge Wesely E. Brown, USDC, Kansas. He is one of four remaining Judges appointed by President Kennedy. He fought in WWII, and he has served long enough to see his former clerk become a United States District Court Judge AND take senior status. At 103, he is the second oldest person ever to serve on the Federal Bench, and as this NY Times article makes clear, he is an inspiration to us all.
The Blog will be down for spiritual maintenance Saturday. Those of you who eagerly wake up and turn on the computer for the "Good Saturday Morning...here's the news you need for the weekend" will just have to wait a week. We will post our Sunday Football picks Saturday night, along with the suicide pool picks.
For those of you fasting, have an easy one.
See you in court.
Judge Ward is a disgusting human being. Mean spirited and plain nasty.
ReplyDeleteI think Diane is older than that dude in Kentucky. Or kansas. (Like it matters.)

"here's the news you need for thw weekend"
ReplyDeleteNo need to post but did you mean THE
rather than thw
Judge Ward will kick butt as a ROC judge. She doesn't put up with crap from the state or defense. She knows the difference between a real criminal and a social nuisance. Congrats Judge Ward!
ReplyDeleteNo, I actually meant THW. I don't make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteFake blecher will WIN the suicide pool/ He's a professional bettor. He lives in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Fakes, is it true that Colby is leasing oil wells in Chechnya?
ReplyDeleteWard will be much better for defendants than Lopez. The State better get ready to be held to their word when announcing ready.
ReplyDeleteWith Lopez if State wasn't ready it was automatic continuance. With Ward it ain't gonna be like that.
I think you were joking about the mistakes part Rump, you've made plenty. Usually which you dismiss with a nobody's perfect.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone really care what happens when a guy gets convicted in ROC court.... with all kinds of priors?
ReplyDeleteWho cares what judge maxes them out?
What does ROC stand for?
ReplyDeleteJudge Ward is bright, fair, and doesn't tolerate nonsense. At least now we will not have enthusisastic Latin judges maxing out a flow of Blacks, some of whom deserve it, but many of whom do not. But, who cares, they got there by a bunch of convenient pleas, many based on lying cops, but that doesn't matter. After all, if we didn't have Blacks to prey upon, the entire economic model would fail, all the way up to North Florida shit-kickers who would have no work.
ReplyDeleteROC = Repeat Offender Court.
ReplyDeleteAh, to look at all this stuff from a far remove!
