From a BSO email to Jack Tuter, dated November 17, 2023:
Attached is a spreadsheet listing the statutes that are affected by the changes to Fla. Stat. §903.011, that will go into effect on January 1, 2023. There are almost 900 offenses affected so far. Note that this list only pertains to those offenses that previously had a monetary bond, but will now require a first appearance. The list does not include the additional changes (increases) to the bond amounts for 3F, 1M, and 2M offenses that are anticipated to be adopted by Supreme Court in the coming weeks.
There goes JT’s legacy—-bond reform.
WHAT ABOUT JUDICIAL RAISES ?
Will more First Appearances divisions be needed?
One more’s necessary.
It goes into effect January 1st, 2024.
Time to break out the canoes in the jails again. I hope BSO didn’t sell them after the consent decree lifted.
WE NEED MORE JUDGES IN BROWARD
CAN’T GET THE ONES WE HAVE IN THE 17TH OUT OF THEIR PAJAMAS AND ON THE BENCH
Direnzo shouldn’t be permitted within a 10 mile radius of FCF. She is Single-handedly destroying any criminal justice reform that was promised.
Who benefits from this aside from the bondsmen? Did they complain that it’s not worth their time to do the paperwork for a 2500 dollar bond? Another example of our lawmakers working for the lobbies and corporate interest. Screw the people over so the bondsmen who fund your political campaigns can get paid…(so they can continue to fund your political campaigns). What an absolute joke of a circle jerk this all is. Fuck this state.
