YOU WOULD THINK

You would think that the powers that be that run the REGJB might, just might, want to alert the Richard E Gerstein Justice Building Blog that they were having an unveiling of a bust of Richard E Gerstein in the courthouse on Monday. You know, to help publicize the event on a blog read in the halls of power and in the halls of the SAO and PDs office as well. 

But then, the powers that be, didn't get to be a power that be, without being....well, you get our point. 

So anyway, on Monday they unveiled a bust of Richard E Gerstein in the lobby of the courthouse. Considering this comes some twenty years or so after the courthouse was named the Richard E Gerstein Justice Building, our response is : WELL DONE- you're three years ahead of schedule.

Note: El Chapo cafe opening has been pushed back to February, 2022. Apparently there's an ice maker not working correctly and the tables and chairs came wrapped in plastic, causing workers and managers alike to wonder "what on earth do we do now?"

Anyway, back to the REG Bust. It naturally was unveiled by....Burt Young, legendary....divorce lawyer. Why Burt Young legendary Miami divorce lawyer you may ask? Because Melvin Belli, king of torts was unavailable. (Actually Belli passed away in 1996, but that didn't stop the powers that be from inquiring as to his availability. Remember- these are the powers that be.) 

Anyway, we now have a bust of Richard E Gerstein in the Richard E Gerstein courthouse.

We don't have a cafeteria. But we have a bust.
