I don't think they are trying to advance a career by getting an undue pound of flesh from a client. They know it won't help them get a job that pays a decent salary. Insurance defense and civil litigation firms could care less how many min/man's their candidate was able to impose. <br /><br />Why beat down the Miami SAO? At least this office waives min/man's. Broward is another story.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-83314030431346194972013-01-07T18:21:18.703-05:002013-01-07T18:21:18.703-05:00Rump,

It's not. Like every other problem involving human beings, there's a lot of gray. I don't want judges hammering everyone, but I don't want judges cutting everyone loose either. There's nothing wrong with creating at least some standards (I'm pretty sure I recall you arguing about how unfair the law is because of how people exercise their discretion.......ie. that blacks are treated more harshly than whites.....particularly with regard to the death penalty. You can't have it both ways). There's certainly a place for discretion and judgment, but I don't believe it should be unfettered. Do you?<br /><br />Judges aren't kings. I believe that guidelines and min mans are fine so long as they are reasonable. Especially when someone can waive them (even if is the prosecutor). <br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-9930939625559667232013-01-07T17:49:52.500-05:002013-01-07T17:49:52.500-05:00Roll Tide.

I should know - I was there. The one case that fed the frenzy was Joe Durant's handling of Reese & Crowder, the 2 Miami Dolphin football players who were given 364 DCJ for sale of cocaine. There were no other noteworthy fiascos in the building. There were a bunch of well-connected ASAs however, who used their pull to create a problem that never really existed. Durant's case cost him his job and health. He was defeated in the next election by Sid Shapiro.
