FIRST: Do we really want someone who espouses communist ideals of guilty until proven innocent a Judge? DO NOT VOTE FOR RENIER DE LA PORTILLA

I ENDORSE RENIER DIAZ DE LA PORTILLA FOR JUDGE HE IS A TRUE COMMUNIST |
 |
IF ELECTED I WILL NOT PRESUME PEOPLE ARRESTED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUULTY |
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK AND SEE IF THAT COCKAROACH IS A MEMBER OF FACDL MIAMI? AND IF SO, THROW HIS ASS OUT AND LET HIM CRAWL BACK INTO THE CRACKS FROM WHENCE HE CAME. It's that time of year again. Heat melting car tires. Humidity wilting the steel girders on buildings. And your Circuit Court Judges going on an educational sabbatical.
Here is a list of judges who will be out (drop a dollop of sunscreen off in their chambers and wish them bon voyage)
August 1-3 OUT
Altfield , Brinkley, Cabarga, Cruz, Delancy, De La O, Hersch , Hirsch, James, Jean , Miranda, Rebull, Ruiz, Tinkler-Mendez, Trawick, Vizcaino
*NOTE Glazer is out (Bond will be covered by Senior Judge)
Meanwhile Judges Hanzman and Colby have reportedly started the agonizing process of listening to the next of kin of the victims of the Surfside tragedy to try and apportion the one billion dollars in the damages pool. No summer vacay for them, as they work to bring closure to families who lost loved ones.
This is the work of judges we rarely see and even more rarely comment on. In both criminal and civil, judges are confronted with the remnants of disasters and tragedies - both criminal and civil in nature. Many times all they can do is listen to the victims and next of kin; commiserate with their loss, and let them know they have been heard. At least this time things are different. We only really have one way to compensate people for their loss- money. And in this case, there is sufficient money to help the next of kin move on with their lives. Pay for the loss of their home and possessions and allow them to try and start over, with the understanding no amount of money can address the loss of human life, the loss of love and companionship.
Maybe we do not say this enough, but if you see Judge Hanzman or Colby, tell them how impressed you are with their dedication to work quickly to give these poor, innocent people the closure they need to move on. Sitting day after day and trying to understand the devastating loss each of the 98 separate cases have suffered is not an easy task. It has to take its toll on these two men. We wish them well.
BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDGE ED COWART. And if you don't know who he was, shame on you. What we do know is that Miami's greatest judge would have been shaken to his core with the possibility that some moronic idiot who doesn't believe in the presumption of innocence could be a judge.
