MONDAY MYSTERY

 We are in that in-between time for Judges when their summer vacation has ended and the holiday slow down has not yet begun. So the only thing left to do is try some cases and listen to the prosecution eloquently say “victim wants max.” 

Broweird 

Anybody see the story of the Broward judge who went to first appearance for a friend, identified himself as a Judge to the ASA and asked for a lower bond and then appeared on the record as counsel for the defendant? It didn’t make a bigger  splash because this being Broward, dog bites man just isn’t news. The only redeeming part of the story is he didn’t wear his robe whilst making the appearance. 

Clerk’s Office Mystery  

Everyone knows we love a good clerk’s office mystery. There have been so many good ones over the years. 

Does anybody know what this means? 

So is this window just for the Herald ? Does the Herald even have a dedicated courts reporter these days for state court ? Or is it for social media where IG influencers can drop by, shoot a video and post it? 

“Hey I’m here at the Miami criminal court house and I just had some yummy Cuban toast and a cafe con leche and now I’m at the Clerks office on 9 and it’s so cool you all should come by and check it out.” 

So what’s going on because we don’t get it.
