*UPDATE* – Is FRS properly included as an asset?

___________________________________________________________________________

Brenda’s financials are up. She’s the first Clerk’s candidate to qualify. Her financial disclosure for 2019 is here, signed May 29, 2020. We’ll post Brenda’s older financials in due time.

Pictured below is an “unknown” liability to a law firm, Shield (sic) Family Law. Whether or not the debt has anything to do with the “fees on fees” opinion issued as a result of the fiasco targeting Brenda’s former benefactor and husband Howard Forman, is unknown at this time.

Please drop a line or post a comment if you have any information on Brenda’s mysterious liability, or any other information regarding her personal fiscal acuity. As the Clerk’s election approaches, with the winner poised to take over oversight duties of Broward County’s $2.5 billion investment portfolio, a thorough financial vetting of Broward’s controversial incumbent Clerk is imperative at this time …

WSVN – Broward prosecutor proposes bodycams on each cop

PLEASE KEEP THE TIPS AND STORIES COMING!

Sent by Andy Siegel to all circuit judges June 4th:

We are adding to the in-custody docket additional morning sessions. This will continue until the courthouse is reopened to the public and in-custody defendants are being transported to our courtrooms. A zoom link for the incusody sessions is at the end of this email.

Starting Monday June 8, 2020, the in-custody docket morning session will begin at 8:30a.m. and end around 12:00p.m. and then pick up for the afternoon session will begin at 1:30p.m.until 5:00p.m. Each of the divisions have been assigned specific days and time. (Note: because of time availability, in custody matters from other divisions may be added administratively from time to time as previously done, i.e. repeat offender, drug court, mental health court.)

On the dates and time assigned to each division, you will be responsible for setting in custody matters during your scheduled session. Both the State and defense attorneys will be directed to contact your JA to place matters on the docket. The in custody docket procedures and schedule attached will be posted on the 17th website. They will be applicable to all divisions.

Your JA must use the CMS to set the hearings. Your JA must use the applicable session assigned to your schedule and post on the division FK. This assures the Clerk’s office will be able to create a docket and BSO will receive the docket to have the defendants available.

Other out of custody matters remain the same and are scheduled using your individual assigned zoom link. if an interpreter is needed arrangements must be made in advance to assure attendance of the interpreters.

If you have any questions or scheduling issues please call my office .
