The "...That case brings back a lot of memories. The "Tanker" was a no nonsense Judge but a great guy off the bench. He got his hair cut at Pete's. Unfortunately he had Alzheimer's and died in Georgia. Ralph Ferguson was a bulldog DUI lawyer in the 70's. I recall trying a murder case when he was a judge. When the jury was sent out to deliberate, he invited all counsel to his house which was very close to the courthouse and we would have drinks until a verdict was returned. We do not have those types of Judges anymore in this era. Postman was a prosecutor from NY. I tried a number of murder cases against him and he never won. Although he claimed he won one, but I won the sentencing.When he became a Judge he would troll through Sally's( as it was then called) and would ask for checks for his reelection. As he once was quoted in the Herald, a contribution would not influence him but it might cause him to grant a continuance. Overall he was one of kind. Those were the days never to be revisited.

And how will the broward SAO deal with the witnesses clearly getting paid off to change their testimony less than two days later to give Grieco affidavits completely changing their stories? Grieco should be investigated (again) because his stink is all over their sudden change of heart. I honestly have no idea why anyone would want him to represent themselves.<br /><br />Current ASAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-73763392424291866842020-05-18T20:20:23.851-04:002020-05-18T20:20:23.851-04:00God, I miss the Postman.

He also loved Cye’s Rivergate. <br /><br />Do we have anyone on the bench now with the “Postman Style?” He always had a smile.

We are an advanced civilization: nowadays, a not so compliant suspect is handed an iPhone 11 with Tik Tok app and threatened with the alternative of 12 consecutive hours of VHS tapes playing re-runs of the Brady Bunch unless he signs on the bottom line.

The mother was beaten to death. Cropper was charged with second degree murder. Judge Tanksley handled the bond hearing. ASA was Alan Postman and Defense attorney was the aforementioned Max Kogan. Tanksley released the defendant on a $10,000 bond. <br /><br />Cropper was tried before a jury in 1975, with Judge Ralph Ferguson presiding. The defense was insanity. The jury returned a verdict of NGI. Apparently the defendant had a long history of schizophrenia.<br /><br />Captain Out .......<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-80766758324247122562020-05-18T11:06:12.391-04:002020-05-18T11:06:12.391-04:00I don't recall the case either.
