His motto: if you plead not guilty and request a jury trial, bring a toothbrush." (because if I convict you you are doing jail time for cutting into my fishing/hunting time.)Seth Sklareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129170134139564702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-87443117931753169362014-09-16T20:24:11.400-04:002014-09-16T20:24:11.400-04:003:56: thank you for injecting reality into the di...3:56: thank you for injecting reality into the discussion. people may have liked fast gerry, and he wasn't awful, but he was not a thoughtful, hard-working or knowledgable judge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-47399359640301962014-09-16T15:56:18.579-04:002014-09-16T15:56:18.579-04:00I always find it hilarious when people say that Ge...I always find it hilarious when people say that Gerry Klein was a great judge. If doing whatever he wanted in spite of what the law requires made him a great judge then I guess you're right. A judge today would NEVER get away with the stuff he did. In fact, years later and probably still to this day, many of cases he closed, especially jail arraignment cases, had to be set aside and many convictions on serious cases were affected by his poor work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-29578644998361743342014-09-16T15:14:53.219-04:002014-09-16T15:14:53.219-04:00Has anyone seen Kenny W. since his huge loss last ...Has anyone seen Kenny W. since his huge loss last weekend? <br /><br />Is he not Master of his Domain?REAL FAKE JUDGE COLBYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-47730799146337210242014-09-16T14:29:32.588-04:002014-09-16T14:29:32.588-04:00With all that cash in their pockets, You can rest ...With all that cash in their pockets, You can rest assured that Gerry and his buddies were not playing for swizzle sticks out there.

They should be studying the law and reading the pleadings in their cases (there's a novel concept) when they aren't trying cases (which, for some of them is most of the time). We don't pay them to go golfing, play tennis, do their nails, etc. When one of them demonstrates that he or she knows everything there is to know about the law, maybe I'll feel differently (of course, that will never happen since the law constantly evolves).<br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-6203770927168737502014-09-15T13:50:22.689-04:002014-09-15T13:50:22.689-04:00Miami Herald, April 20, 1988:

Murray Sheldon and George Franzman were also in the locker room. <br /><br />Franzman lost $320 cash, Klein about $250 and Hertz $227, police said. Sheldon had no money on him when the crime occured. He was undressed. <br /><br />Hertz said he gave the robber his money but asked if he could keep his wallet since it only contained his driver's license. At that point, the man cocked his gun and put it up to Hertz's head. <br /><br />"My heart was pounding so hard. When he put that gun up to my head, I didn't think my chest would hold out," Hertz said. <br /><br />The robber warned the men not to walk out the locker room door after he left. The four men waited several minutes and then walked over to the pro shop to call police.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577849718532863841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-26520550855741609942014-09-15T13:33:48.333-04:002014-09-15T13:33:48.333-04:00Judge "fast Gerry" Klein knew how to bea...Judge "fast Gerry" Klein knew how to beat the system.
