Judge Norma Lindsey, elevated from County Court and
Angie Zayas. elevated from the mere mortal status of a lawyer.
Congratulations to both Judges. Now as our Governor likes to say:
Get to work.
Meanwhile we now have a county court vacancy courtesy of Governor Scott's elevation of Judge Lindsey, and a circuit vacancy courtesy of President Obama's elevation of Judge Robert Scola.
And the beat goes on.
HUM DRUM DUI
Here's a DUI scenario all of our DUI mavens can relate to.
Your client is passed out in his car in the middle of an intersection.
The police are called.
Your client is arrested and ....
1) Taken to the police station offered (threatened) a breath test and then taken to jail, or
2) Given a promise to appear by a sympathetic police officer and driven home by Officer Friendly?
Well, if your client is MIAMI DADE OFFICER FERNANDO VILLA then it's scenario number two. Herald article here.
And the beat goes on.
See You In Court.
