There's a Juicy REGJB rumor making the rounds...read below for more.
If you need a job, public service jobs in NYC are looking for Lawyers. Legal Aid and County Defender Services (their version of PDs) and State Prosecutors are all leaving because of low salaries.
A starting salary at a big or medium sized law firm in the Big Apple is around $200,000.00/yr plus bonuses while public service legal jobs like Legal Aid start lawyers at $74,000.00/yr. When you consider NYC rents can be over $2500 for a studio, that money goes fast.
The Legal Aid Society, New York’s largest provider of criminal and civil services for indigent clients, has lost 10 percent of its staff, or about 200 people over the past 12 months, a 73 percent jump from the organization’s 2021 attrition rate. That number includes 55 public defenders who try criminal cases, 37 legal services attorneys who represent clients in housing and immigration court, as well as numerous paralegals, investigators and social workers.
Other defender organizations have even higher rates. Over the past year, Brooklyn Defender Services has lost 40 attorneys, or 27 percent of its staff; and the New York County Defender Services has lost 30 attorneys, or 24 percent of its staff. The Bronx Defenders has lost 18 attorneys, while the Queens Defenders has lost 17 attorneys.
There is a judge leaving the REGJB and going to probate while a former REGJB Judge in probate is returning to the REGJB where he will no doubt continue his one judge assault on fingerprints.
But the question is WHY is the judge at the REGJB being sent to the land of the dead?
Could it be, as some are whispering, his well known animosity to Zoom?
Just wondering while grinding the rumor mill.
Coming Soon: Which large North American Country just did away with life in prison with no parole? Hint- it's not the USA, eh.

The Judge coming back has seniority and was elected without opposition and was a criminal defense attorney and is a great criminal judge. The judge leaving, well lets just say you ZOOMED in on the issue. Well done Rumpole.
"Which large North American County just did away with life in prison with no parole? Hint- it's not the USA, eh."
So there is a "County" outside the USA, eh?
Zoom wasn’t the issue. The REG Judge has been at war with the SAO and has been difficult to deal with on the regular. REG judge is also not a favorite of the administration.
The judge coming back and the judge leaving both ascended to the bench in the same year, one by appointment and one by election.
give names, rump. I know Milt is coming back, but who is leaving?
Zoom isn’t the only issue; refusing to ratify pleas and forcing defendants into life sentences wasn’t good either…
As an aside, I saw a Blumstein campaign sign today and he’s wearing his military garb again in clear violation of DoD Directive 1344.10 — will anyone do anything about this?
What’s the big deal? You can’t write the names of public employees assignments? Are you intimidated?
In addition, the judge leaving, has been rude, grumpy and nasty to everyone. I hope he enjoys probate. They will not like him over there. Now, if we could just send Venzer to probate too...
Milton Hirsch is coming back too criminal.
It has nothing to do with Zoom-if you have been in that Court for the last 3-4 months-you know where the real problem stems-and it was all started by drumroll...........the SAO.
How about the fact that any judge sitting in that cesspool of a ROC court may just get worn out. ROC Court should be abolished and those cases distributed in normal course. Judge Ramiro Areces is heading to that division. Hopefully, he has plenty of anti-depressants on hand. All you have to do to be horrified is to have a client dragged along into ROC court by a co-D to know how horrible that place is.
I have never had a problem using Zoom with Judge Fernandez and have always been treated courteously, and in one of the "drag-on" cases, he entered a dismissal after the State's case. He deserves a big "Thank You" for being there and a large prescription of Adderall for his next gig, where everyone is only trying to do "What Dad wanted." Anyone who goes back far enough knows that probate judges are the only defense against multi-generational highway robbery.
May 27, 2022:
"The Canadian Supreme Court ruled Friday that a [2011] federal law that effectively allows judges to sentence criminals to life in prison without parole is unconstitutional, finding that it violates protections against cruel and unusual punishment and brings 'the administration of justice into disrepute.'"
Death penalty was outlawed in 1976. 25 years was tops for life sentences in terms of first chance at parole. But in 2011, a federal law allowed judges to stack parole ineligibility periods beyond the 25 years, to a point beyond the length of a human lifespan.
This ruling undoes that and retrospectively.
Rump, you have done blogs on other candidates for misuse of names. Why nothing on calling out Blumstein for misuse of military uniform?
Email me a pic. I’m. It in miami. Too hot. I’ll get the ball rolling
Love the name “Angry guayabera “
Not true. He sends the case back to division for the plea.
I’m not in miami.
“I’m coming back. I want the world to know. Got to let it show “.
With apologies to Diana Ross and her song IM coming out.
“I’ll be back “
Add Arnold’s Austrian accent.
Joe Fernandez. Aka The Terminator
Meanwhile can anyone update me on the rule against perpetuities and testimentary intent. And whether will codicils really need to be in writing and witnessed? It’s been so long since I’ve looked at this stuff. Like since the bar exam.
Need a will? Need a codicil? Need an estate? Call Alex Hanna. Is. No Pago that will.
Hialeah wills from $99.95.
It may be cooler to be in Pooler but she is another Zoom hater than needs to have her chain yanked
HELLO MIAMI HEAT FANS!! Top o'the day to ya from Beantown, a/k/a title town USA. Sox, Pats, Celts, Bruins, we got it all here- plus great colleges!
Tonight is game six of the NBA finals. My celts trail 3-2 and the game is in Boston. Now we all know that a game six in Miami, with the Heat down 3-2 would draw about 4200 fans, everyone else saying in Miami style- If they aren't going to be champs tonight then I have better things to do- and being Miami, that being some 62 year old CPA wining and dining his 30 year old girlfriend at Prime 112, trying to look younger and act like the heavy hitter he ain't.
But I digress.
Celts haven't lost three in a row in playoffs since...whenever.
But lets play a little trivia game for you Heat fans who flock to game sevens and then tell everyone around them how they go to all the games and live only for the NBA and the heat.
Name the team these NBA greats played on:
Tiny Archibald; Dr. J; Oscar Robinson; Jerry West; Bernard King; Bill Russell; John Havlicek; Tim Haraway; Michael Cooper; Daryl Dawkins; Danny Ainge; Tim Duncan; Bob Lanier; Caldwell Jones; Cornbread Maxwell; George McGinnis; Maurice Lucas and finally Bill Walton.
Now lets face it- most Heat fans never heard of 98% of the players listed. "Who is Bernard King??" I can hear them muttering to themselves. "No one named Cornbread was ever a famous basketball player" they say out loud. Of course as die hard NBA fans they read the classic "Cornbread Earl and Me" ...NOT.
But don't lose hope. Maybe next year the NBA will pass a rule requiring Step Curry and Dramont Green and all the best current players to have to play for the heat so all you fans can flock to game seven and pretend you've been coming all year.
How about dem Marlins baby??? Hahahahahahahahaha. Not one of a 1000 people in Miami can name the manager or two players on the Marlins, but if lightning strikes and the Marlins make the playoffs, you front runners will be there cheering and crying how you've been attending every game for years praying for this.
See ya in the funny papers and remember...Go CELTS!
You can see a version of the photo here. https://www.facebook.com/blumsteinforjudge. It is the same picture I saw used on a campaign poster on LeJune Ave yesterday (I was hearing to the airport and am no longer there to go back and take photo).
It shows anyone who knows what judge Blumstein’s morals are. He uses the uniform in direct violation of the DoD. Someone needs to do something about this. The voting public has no clue and will vote for him based on his misleading sailor uniform in his billboards.
Blumstein has a sign up of him in uniform at a gas station in bird and about 87th ave. It's probably five feet tall. Looks like a recruitment picture for the navy.
Yes on 360 Degree Media there is an image of Kaysia Early, Esq., Markenson Jeanty (Host), and Hon. Mark Blumstein in a naval uniform where Judge Blumstein was slated to speak on June 12, 2022 at 6pm.
Alamy happens to be selling images of an Angry Old Bearded Man with White Fedora and Blue Guayabera.
So the "Angry Guayabera" does live yet still!
The judge that either needs to get sent to probate or just off the bench isn't Fernandez, it's Perkins
