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.

DeSantis should remove KFR.
Best post of the year.
What bothered me the most was the way she talked down to KFR and treated her like she was her bitch. Miller needs to resign. If I ever get her on a criminal panel, I would immediately move to recuse her, She made it clear that she doesn't like or trust defense attorneys.
Last Christmas, she showed up at the PD Christmas party. It was a nice attempt to rehab her reputation but, almost nobody went near her.
The State Attorney and A Judge. The Corey Smith case is the gift that keeps on giving.
A minor public slap on the wrist and all will be forgiven.
Those text messages are hilarious. The desperation.
I am a former judge. Judge B Miller is not guilty of any ethical violations. She should not be prosecuted by this JQC. I predict, if she has proper legal advocacy, this can all be explained and we will see no violation of any ethical rule. It is a balance of first amendment versus appearance of impropriety. But there is no impropriety here. Mark my word. This process is harsh and cruel and in this case not warranted. Judge Miller has done so much for our community in the court and for those in need. Let’s NOT abandon a good and worthy public servant. I’m not.
Obviously her conduct is inexcusable. She still doesn’t even admit she did anything wrong. She should be removed. Kudos to the JQC, I honestly thought she was connected enough that she’d face no consequences. The other 3rd DCA judges continue to allow her to sit on criminal appeals arising from KFR’s office’s prosecutions. That fact tells you all you need to know about the 3rd DCA as to criminal defendants.
Taking bets on Kalshi $500 KFR resigns.
End of June? Are you retiring, Rumpole?
“Win at all cost”
That "fireside chat' hosted by the MIA/FTL ABOTA with Justice Couriel and Brownyn will undoubtedly be interesting this Thursday.
I’m quitting blogging as I made clear in a post a few weeks ago that you didn’t read.
This is nothing more than a witch hunt by the JQC against Judge Miller. Why is the JQC turning a blind eye towards Judges who are late for hearings, take months (and sometimes a year) to render a ruling, rubber stamp orders/judgments without independent thought, pretend to take notes while texting on their phones, cancel hearings at the 11th hour and act rude to lawyers and litigants yet, wrongfully go after a fine jurist? Judge Miller is an outstanding and distinguished Judge and one of the finest on the 3rd DCA. She did nothing in her capacity as a Judge to warrant disciplinary proceedings against her. And, for this blog to attack Judge Miller is also unwarranted.
What does “she has done so much for this community” have to do with the charges?
Bothered you? I feel bad. Her chiefs do the same to her. She’s just too old for this.
We need Melba!
Sometimes I need to step in and deal with the idiocy. So let me try. Two complaints arrive at the JQC. 1. Judge X is often late for the 9am calendar.
2. Judge BM is texting the state attorney about an appellate case that is before her court and trashing defense attorneys as lawyers without ethics who cannot be trusted. Hmmmm. Appearance of impropriety and inability to be impartial versus ten minutes late. JQC 1. Well the judge being late makes people wait. JQC2 well the judge who hates defense attorneys is sitting on a court HEARING CASES INVOLVING DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AND CLIENTS IN PRISON AND HAVING EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY. umm close call here but we will go after the judge who hates defense lawyers.
Are you kidding me with that asinine comment? . Go to newsmax of something will ya?
