Last week came the formal news, not unexpected, that 3rd DCA Judge, and Miami SAO Alumnus Bronwyn Miller was accused of placing bets on the Miami Heat with inside information.
Wait! No. We got our Miami scandals all mixed up. Miami Heat player something Rozier was accused of tanking to get under prop bets on his performance to payoff.
Judge Miller was accused by the JQC of something much less egregious- essentially being a prosecutor in robes. Granted by the time robe wearers get to the 3rd, it's much easier for them to simply PCA criminal convictions (Defendant was beaten until he confessed, not read Miranda, and prosecutor urged jury to send a message to the community about crime- PCA duh) - so we don't usually see this level of prosecutorial advocacy with appellate judges (at least not before January 20, 2025).
You can read the complaint below. Nothing less than a conspiracy to subvert justice between an appellate judge and the elected State Attorney. But they were BFFs donchaknow, and like Snapchat is soooo hard to use when you're over 30, so they had text.
Make of it what you will. There's no excuse for this conduct. And at least the complaint is semi-vindication for Judge Wolfson, who should win a JFK Profiles In Courage Award for not backing down and speaking truth to power- the kind of Judge everyone but the Governor and President want on the bench.
But we are so done with this court which avoids the hard criminal cases by PCA'ing the convictions, that it is tough to summon the outrage that this conduct deserves.
Not to mention the money we have lost on the NBA- but give us credit. We walk into a poker room with an NBA coach and see fish jam the turn and rivers on two-outter gutshots and have it pay off more than once a night, and we know there's a mechanic* in the game.
What all of us didn't know was that there was mechanic* wearing a robe out by FIU dealing from the bottom of the deck to the State.
Just one more reason that come the end of June we are D O N E done.

* A mechanic is wise-guy 70's speak for a card player who cheats, especially when they deal.
