You obviously weren't there. I was. I was a prosecutor on the Beach when Swartz was there.<br /><br />He never MADE anyone listen. In return for going back and spending 2 hours listening to opera, the defendant got a dismissal. You all complain that judges don't find ways of helping defendants out. Swartz did and you rail on him for it.<br /><br />I suppose it would have been better for the defendants to take PTI and spend several weekends taking a values course and pay for it to bbot. Or better yet carry a withhold with costs.<br /><br />Every one of those defendants was always given the choice to go to trial. Not one did. Not one got less than a dismissal. The cops were happy, the defendants were happy, the residents of M.B. were happy and so was I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-63820678178219855922010-01-09T17:04:35.281-05:002010-01-09T17:04:35.281-05:0011:17 is correct: Long live "The Hawk." ...11:17 is correct: Long live "The Hawk."

I agree with another commentator that Johnson too often found juveniles not-guilty, although I would have too if I so frequently fell asleep during the hearing and missed substantial evidence. It is not that he is unkind; he is nothing if not a gentle soul. However, if trials or other factual hearings bore you, then perhaps he should resign and hope for elevation to the 3DCA.Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310876507111880669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38794573211932714592010-01-07T10:31:38.318-05:002010-01-07T10:31:38.318-05:00I agree with 11:28 on Miguel and am so sorry about...I agree with 11:28 on Miguel and am so sorry about his loss.<br /><br />He is smart, knowledgeable, fair, and will make a tremendous judge.South Florida Lawyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810384287103818406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-37675489722638239832010-01-07T09:31:47.491-05:002010-01-07T09:31:47.491-05:00This blog is so full of hypocrisy.

You bitch that some of the new judges have no trial experience. Here comes Milt Hirsch and Miguel De la O, two guys taking huge pay cuts, successful private careers and loads of trial experience, and you anonymous yahoos begin engaging in petty juvenile name calling. Tear these guys down, and you'll get the judges you deserve. Sure Milt has an ego, but he's earned it and is a good guy. Talk to him and see for yourself. Have you ever spoken to Miguel? Completely down to earth, approachable guy, with no ego.

The case revolved around a lawsuit in which two men wrongfully convicted of a 1978 murder filed suit against the prosecutors, alleging they had procured false testimony. The parties in the lawsuit recently reached a $12 million settlement. The case potentially opened the door for a ruling on to what extent can prosecutors be held responsible for violating the constitutional rights of defendants.<br /><br />http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/<br />Justice/2010/0104/Supreme-<br />Court-drops-key-case-on-<br />limits-of-immunity-for-<br />prosecutors<br /><br />Cap Out ....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-21850036775332456012010-01-06T18:15:59.755-05:002010-01-06T18:15:59.755-05:00None of them having anything on Mary Jo FrancisNone of them having anything on Mary Jo FrancisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-35427367547776088902010-01-06T18:13:56.757-05:002010-01-06T18:13:56.757-05:00I THINK DE LA O POSTS ON HERE SAYING HOW WONDERFUL...I THINK DE LA O POSTS ON HERE SAYING HOW WONDERFUL HE IS...BS...KOPCO WINS!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-87762592292475578162010-01-06T17:51:11.127-05:002010-01-06T17:51:11.127-05:00They hate Johnson in Juv because he finds everyone...They hate Johnson in Juv because he finds everyone not guilty.
