San Pedro was the great corrupter and was tried by Rothenberg
ReplyDeleteThe Great Corrupter. Alberto San Pedro. Judge Harold Solomon. Defense was Irwin Block, one of the best trial lawyers ever to step foot in the MJB. Block had two co counsel. Can you name them. One has passed away and one is an El Jefe. Don’t recall who prosecuted the case.

ReplyDeleteJerry or Max Kogan were co-counsel to Irwin. Definitely one of the best ever trial attorneys and a real gentleman. Do not forget he was Co-Counsel with Phil Hubbart in the Pitts-Lee case. Two real heros in difficult times in the pan handle of Florida
ReplyDeleteI disagree that Rothenberr tried the San Pedro case- try again.
ReplyDeleteJerry or Max Kogan were not Co counsel to Block. Jennifer Bailey was never Chief Judge. Try Joel Brown and Joe Farina.
ReplyDeleteAnd while we are at it, Dominic Koo was the first Asian American Judge in Miami, while Mattie Belle Davis was the first female Judge.
ReplyDeleteCaptain- come on for the ASAs in the San Pedro Case. One was male and one was female.
The female was.....Susan Dechovitz…..
Harold Solomon was the judge. RIP a sweet, nice man.
The REG Building cornerstone is dated 1959, but I don't think the building was placed in service until 1962.
ReplyDeleteJudge Ellen "Maximum" Morphonios prosecuted Jim Morrison and was later profiled on 60 Minutes.
ReplyDeleteLuck went from state court to the Eleventh Circuit .
ReplyDeleteCaptain Justice: Obviously you never have been to 73 West Flagler. Bailey was indeed Chief Judge. Check your records. Bailey came well after joel and joe. Just before Soto. I will accept your apologize. Koo would cook on his wong in chambers and did not tolerate smokers.

What judge told a guy in courtroom 1-4 that he was supposed to be in 1-3, where David Young was presiding? Hit, the guy was wearing a see thru outfit and was a body builder. I'll never forget it.
What former prosecutor said "where's the beef?" in closing. At
the time that was the slogan for Wendy's. The ASA was in a GT Auto case and the defendant said he gave the court the title but, the APD new it was a fraud so never mentioned it in trial. The ASA was about the 4th to handled the case and didn't know the title was in the court file. 3rd DCA reversed and said, the beef is in the court file.

What judge said that if you took all the Cubans out of jail, they would be empty? Hint... she's still a judge and about to retire.

What former county judge used his own money to feed the rest of the courtroom when the jury went out late to deliberate? The county paid for food for only the jury.
Judge Jack Martin Coe was the First Asian Judge. Yes?
ReplyDeleteWhy do I think 12:35 is some former disgruntled 1990's judge who was a one term wonder?
ReplyDeleteI think Phil is correct - 1960-1962 ish is the opening.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of opening when does Sy Gare Square open?

ReplyDeleteEasy E sightings... Ownership of Miami Slice in Manhattan seems to be getting the most tractions but we have heard...Lecturing on Modernist Art History at a University in Montreal; Uber Driver in Wyoming (someone said they were driven by someone who was a dead ringer for the E in Laramie); Golf coach in Palm Springs; Organic Corn Farmer in a small Maryland town; and the newest one coming down the pike- Nutritionist coach at a Whole Foods in Tempe, Arizona.
