The 17th Circuit’s COVID-19 Advisory webpage is being utilized more frequently, following the issuance of Administrative Order 2021-38-Temp. Here are the four most recent entries:
Does anyone see a pattern?
Will the judges, particularly Andy Siegel in Circuit Criminal Court, and most of the County Criminal judges, continue to push jury trials, as Broward County takes the tragic lead of being the hardest hit county in the hardest hit state?
Wait and see …
“Broward ranks first in the country for new hospital admissions over the last seven days through Aug. 10, with 1,800 confirmed COVID patients, a new U.S. Health Data report shows. The county with the next highest number of new admissions is Harris County, Texas, with 1,713 new admissions, followed by Miami-Dade County with 1,434 admissions.”
Gold Watch Time! – Long time ASA and Satz confidante John Countryman is retiring yet again. His resignation letter is below. If the signature looks familiar, it’s because you’ve seen it on loads and loads of aggressively charged Informations since Harold Pryor took office. In any event, we’ll wish John congratulations! on his second retirement from the SAO, and look forward to Pryor’s continuing criminal justice reforms in the Case Filing Unit and elsewhere …
Dear Harold. A far cry from ‘Dear Mr Satz’. Hey Harold just so you know we are all tired of seeing Satz still around.
Wait ’til he’s plastered all over the national news for weeks on end. The never ending trial that won’t start for another few years.
All of you bitched, moaned, and groaned to open the courthouse for months on this blog. Now the same anonymous complainers, whine and moan that the courthouse needs to be closed.
I was against the vaccine before I was for it, defund the police-don’t defund the police, critical race theory-no critical race theory.
Make up your mind people, the sky is falling, I’m gonna be in bankruptcy one minute, next minute no trials, no courthouse, smh
Or they could stop being scared stiff of Sheriff Tony and order him to have 25 IC Zoom links up and running tomorrow and have every single Judge cross certified to Circuit/County and working from 9-5 on those very same links resolving absolutely everything in the jails that doesn’t require an evidentiary hearing (unless the parties agree to evidentiary hearings, then do those too). Stop being afraid of Tony, of the SAO with their liability shifting lousy offers, and of losing votes for Chief Judge by making the Judges work all day long every day under less than ideal circumstances. And if jury trials are a must, people that want those can ask for them by agreement and if the Supremes are so serious about jury trials LET THERE BE SPEEDY TRIAL DEMANDS.
“Order” Sherriff Tony? Right-O. He made them eat shit on a pair of shoes. Stop dreaming.
Always thought Johnny Boy had several screws loose …
Send Mr. Weekes to deal with him on behalf of 17.
See bleach case.
what tangled webs be weaved when first they pracice to deceive…

HE’S CAUCASIAN
No. Every time a county judge touches a felony it gets messed up.
Misdemeanor judges on the warpath about out of custody trials. Ridic.
Judges work 9-5. Stop making me laugh.
True dat. They have to keep it down to an hour or two a day. So as to make it like they earn the same an hour as a decent lawyer. Instead of the $50 per hour they would be getting for a full day’s work.
So retire already John. You’ve milked it long enough. You won’t find anybody crying buckets over your long awaited departure.
NINE TO FIVE IS A FORGOTTEN ROUTINE FOR BROWARD JUDGES
It’s plea squeezing time on steroids.
Judge Tuter wants a Ceremonial Courtroom named in his honor in the middle of the Pandemic.. Thanks, Jeb.
SELF INTEREST GOVERNS THE DAY
Tuter should join a bowling league and step aside as chief judge. He’s been totally useless as a leader.
Judge Tooty is useless as a pile of dirt. He’s Phony and Fake just like his buddy Judge Bobby.
We rank number 1 in the country. What an accomplishment.
THERES A SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM
Hey Countryman:
Now you can go home and abuse your wife like you have done to the secretaries in the office for 30+ years. Go fuck yourself! Don’t think one person will shed a tear when you leave! We are going to throw a party 🎉
9:26
Perhaps you should get your head out of your rectal cavity, man up and not hide without who you are. John may not have always been correct, but he was doing his best with what he had in making filing decisions and other matters. Should you wish to discuss matters further name the time and the place and bring a second. SAO5
Oh there’s SAO5 same idiot that stood up for Satz stupid double dipping plan to keep Satz and his other henchmen on the public dime….you fucking idiot double dipper I’m sure!!
Several in our department either have underlying health issues or our spouses have them. The virus is spreading throughout the courthouse including our department and we are told it’s business as usual with no options.
GET VACCINATED – WEAR MASKS – SUIT UP – AND DO OUR JOBS
WE’VE BEEN SLACKING OFF LONG ENOUGH
BLEACH WASH THE BROWARD COUNTY COURTHOUSE JUST TO BE SURE
Just get the vaccine and according to the CDC you will be fine. After all the virus is spreading due to the unvaccinated people. I guess the people that are getting Covid after taking the vaccine must have gotten a bad dose? Let’s face it if the majority of people have gotten the vaccine and it truly is working then the cases should be going down in numbers.
Completely wrong. The numbers are EXACTLY where they should be.
CDC said the vaccines were about 85-90 percent effective.
The hospitals are saying that 90 percent of those admitted with covid were not vaccinated and about 10 percent were vaccinated.
Sounds to us the vaccine works and the predicted effectiveness is right on the mark.
PS
You’re also wrong about the majority of people being vaccinated.
Look at the numbers by states and compare to hospital admissions.
70% of the nation has had at least one of the vaccines and the numbers are still climbing so how can you say the vaccine is working? It has nothing to do with how many people being admitted to the hospital. If it’s 85 to 9o% effective and 70% has been vaccinated common sense should tell you it is not working. I’m impressed that you knew 90 and 10 make a 100 though…who says lawyers are stupid?
99% of people dying are unvaccinated. Also only small % of hospitalizations are unvaccinated.
WE HEARD ANOTHER CLERK EMPLOYEE DIED. VERY SAD
Countryman is one of the weirdest morons I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Good riddance to the putz. Spare us another Dear John letter when you re-enter the real world.
The only thing John deserves on his way out the door is the biggest sack of chit you can find. What an unmitigated mental case.
I am surprised that Countryman didnt invoke the Cuomo, “i did nothing wrong, but the line has moved”
That’s what the problem was with that whole gang of anachronisms. They had no idea of the destruction they were wielding over the last 40 years. Anyplace else but the Broward backwater in the Banana Republic of Florida would have booted them decades ago. But Farmer Mike and his condo commandos and his succubus Scum Sentinel kept it going as long as they could. No 4th Estate, no justice. Things are finally changing. And with African-American representation in high political office the new reality the Scum Sentinel will be forced to be a newspaper for all citizens.
Only in Broward County …
PIO Number: 21-8-13
Date: Aug.12, 2021
It is with deep sadness and grief that Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony and the men and women of the Broward Sheriff’s Office mourn the passing of Edwin Sanchez, 61, a court bailiff with BSO. Sanchez died on August 6 while hospitalized suffering from COVID-19. The official cause of death will be determined by hospital medical staff.
“We mourn the loss of a seasoned and dedicated employee of the Court Services District that will be sorely missed,” said his supervisor Tom Wolf.
Sanchez, a New York native, was born in Brooklyn. He later moved to Florida where he received his high school diploma from the State of Florida in 1980. He served with the U.S. Marine Corps for 23 years. He made a strong impression on his lieutenant colonel, D.J. Reintjes, who wrote for his BSO application. “He is a man of character and value. He has volunteered for dangerous duty in Provide Promise, Deny Flight, Croatia and NATO. He is an outstanding Marine who has done his job with pride and to perfection.”
BSO hired Sanchez in 2000 as a court deputy working at Court Services District. He would assist judges in processing and managing court proceedings in an orderly fashion; answer questions from the public and the judge; maintain contact with counsel during deliberation and advise the jury clerk about case requirements and jury needs. He went on to become a court bailiff and recently celebrated 20 years of service with BSO. “We lost a member of our BSO family. Edwin was a great employee who took pride in his position. He will be sorely missed,” said Captain Ozzy Tianga from BSO Court Services District.
His supervisors described him as “dependable” and “cooperative,” who was willing to
“assist coworkers.” “He loved his country as a member of the armed forces and a dedicated employee of the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Court Bailiff Unit. Your memory will remain in our hearts forever,” said co-worker Sergeant Alphonso Bonaby.
Sanchez is survived by family and friends. Funeral arrangements are being handled by T.M. Ralph Funeral Homes in Plantation.

Puke…good riddance…hope he suffered as much as those women in the box he attempted to molest
SOME SAY THERE IS NOT ENOUGH AIR MOVEMENT IN THE BROWARD COUNTY COURTHOUSE TO SERVE AS A DETERRENT TO TRANSMITTAL OF AIRBORNE PATHOGENS
THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM COULD BE SOVLED BY ADDING ADDITIONAL EXHAUST FANS VENTING TO THE OUTSIDE
Jack of all trades,
master of none.
That would most likely be as effective as the vaccine and at least you wouldn’t get sick as a dog from taking it.
Mike Satz? I was the State Attorney for 44 years? Iron Mike? It doesn’t ring a bell?
the ones he wrongfully convicted remember
The ones that are still alive surely remember. That’s Satzie’s true legacy. But how many died rotting in a cell before they could be cleared?
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
TIME TO PACK IT IN MIKEY WHILE YOU STILL HAVE SOME DIGNITY LEFT
Why doesn’t everyone in the room say gesundheit when I sneeze anymore?
Is that Bruce Jenner ?
This story reminds me of a bunch of paper pushers I used to work with on SE 6th St but I can’t remember any of their names
Why haven’t I heard Howie’s name mentioned for the fancy courtroom dedication plaque? He’s made more of a name for himself and a bigger contribution to this community than anyone else in courthouse circles. Why would they consider someone nobody has heard of like Tennessean Judge Tuter but not Howie who’s been fighting for Broward County since the 1960’s??
Baubles are reserved for the inconsequential/insecure.
I don’t see anything wrong with honoring prople for lifetime achievement. But to change the rules is a big step. Indeed. A slippery slope. To do so should only occur in the rarest of occasions. Like for Congressman Hastings. Who had limited time on earth when he was awarded naming privileges. He had no contemporary in the legal profession. Since spoken of now is naming for a living jurist. Hastings transcended the mere confines of being one of literally millions of jurists over the course of US history. If this Tuter gentlemen were to be awarded then where would it stop? Would every administrator or clerk be entitled? So sorry. But this is not appropriate for government to consider when there are outstanding citizens involved in civic life serving at every level. Most of them serving not in hopes or reward either. This is not appropriate. Not in the slightest. I am disgusted the County is considering this. In fact.
Lit’l Howie was as big a part of the problem as any one of the others I see lambasted on this site … Worse. He played both sides.
How’s your golf game Howie ? Choke on any golf balls lately?
LETS PARTY
Duh. Broward County has always been carpetbagger central.
I better get my name on something besides this Zoom Tile or they’ll forget all about me quicker than you can say Dale who?
How about finding an old Little League trophy at a yard sale and repurposing it for Tuter? Or give him the Harvey Gluckman Bacdl trophy. For crying out loud, just keep his name off anything people will see until he distinguishes himself.
THE QUESTION THAT REMAINS IS JUST WHAT THIS SLIDER HAS ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED TO IMPROVING A JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN TURMOIL BESIDES TRYING AT EVERY TURN TO HONOR HIMSELF
OUR CIRCUIT DESERVES BETTER THAN A CHIEF JUDGE HOPPED UP ON HIMSELF
He should shadow Chief Kelley in the 15th for a few days to see how to improve.
Chief Judge Weinstein’s name is on the side of the Courthouse on a bronze placard (with the Commissioners’ names). Jack probably just wants a little something something for himself. It’s weird that a public servant might feel that way, but understandable given all humans have egos.
By Judge
Jurors await the call at home. Masks are a must. As COVID surges, courts try to keep you safe.

phooey
Two shots obviously are not working on bringing down the number of cases so let’s all let the government give us a third one. Maybe by the time they force ten on us the numbers will go down?
THE SKY IS FALLING
TOOTY FIDDLES WHILE BROWARD COURTS BURN

IS THERE A VACCINE AGAINST LAZY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
INOCULATE THE LAZY JUDGES
EVERYONE KNOWS WHICH ONES ARE LAZY
CHECK THE TRIAL STATS AND PREPARE THE NEEDLE
I think it’s called lethal injection? However most of them act like they have been put to sleep when you try to get any information or work out of them.
MY ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS WOULDNT FILL A BOTTLE CAP
Daily Dose of Right
What a hypocrite!
Tara Reade, an accuser of President Joe Biden, speaks out to Newsmax in wake of the scathing report and subsequent resignation of NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, and why she is still motivated to fight for justice not only for herself but for many other victims.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ana5HLiQtM
The Democratic Party will protect him and not let the investigation go forward. If it was Trump they would automatically call for an impeachment.
Joe’s a rank amateur compared to your boy the all-time Grabber-In-Chief!
DADDY’S ALWAYS GOT MY BACK
Grabber-In-Chief
YOU MEAN THE GUY THAT TOOK NO SALARY FOOL!
He took no salary while his properties made millions off his presidency
At least Trump knew how to keep military troops in Afghanistan. Thousands of soldiers got killed and wounded only to now watch Feeble Joe make a total fuck up of the troop withdrawal. I’m left wondering how all those soldiers and their families feel about what the damn fool has done? His son was not smart or man enough to ever serve his country. By the way how much are you paying for gas now and Covid is at an all time high. So no I don’t want to compare because Biden is going to go down as the worse president this country has ever seen.
Neo-liberals can’t seem to get it right in Afghanistan or anywhere else. Career Politicians need to produce something besides excuses for their failures.
Lol – Haven’t heard too much from Hillary lately
Countryman resigns and Murphy pushes out of Admin too; is there a Satz purge going on?
About time!
THEY CALLED MY SUGAR COOKIES STALE
Stop lying about Murphy, she is the top person at SAO. She was given a raise and ain’t going nowhere. I know haters gotta hate but move along libtards.
Thanks Rich
BACK TO THE KITCHEN SARANELL
Murphy got off easier than I did
I’ve been relegated to the trash heap of former SAs along with by boofer buddy Bailey
Then add two cups of flour and stir rapidly until you’ve created a white sticky mess – lol
We anticipate a shakeup coming your way kids. A lot of you have been on easy street long enough. Either you adapt or take your marbles and go home.
MOMMY TOLD ME TO DO IT
They’d have to be really stupid not to have seen it coming …
It’s a new deck of cards people and there’s a lot of dead weight.
EVER FEEL LIKE YOU’RE BEING SQUEEZED OUT
If so many people didn’t have their hands in each other’s pockets in Broward Courts the spread of Covid could be contained…
RUN FORREST RUN
He who hath no shame hides from blame
Nothing like a little encouragement…
Mainstream Media has become a reality TV segment lol
THE BUCK STOPS WITH ME PEEPS
The only honor Chief Judge Tuter deserves is to have a toilet seat named after him. The guy’s out of touch and has done nothing to make anything any better in the 17th.
Maybe she’ll loose some of her fat ASS🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got a better idea. She’ll need it.
Love it
Stop lying about Murphy, she is the top person at SAO. She was given a raise and ain’t going nowhere. I know haters gotta hate but move along libtards.
boo
4/10 – Murphy could be a 7 but she gives a very strong ‘wears a glove to give a handy’ vibe.
IVE BEEN INTEGRATED
It’s funny how most of these post’s are from the same loser lawyers that have no client’s so they spend their time posting jealous, negative comments all day. If you hate Broward so much move some place else and try to find some client’s. Oh that’s right you can’t afford to move because you have no client’s and no money. All those who went to NOVA raise your hand 🤡
thanks rich
Sounds like a terminal case of Black Robe Fever. Losers that dreamed of being a judge but could never win an election.
I’LL BE BACK IN THE SACK SOON
THE OTHER BROWARD JUDGES NEED ME
DON’T KNOW ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE
BUT I LUV PRACTICING IN BROWARD – WHEN THERE’S NOT A NEW VARIANT SWEEPING THRU THE SLOP IS PRETTY GOOD
WE DREAMED OF BEING A BROWARD JUDGE
Ana dreamed of being a fast-tracked 4th DCA judge as a Hispanic vagina, because that’s what Butternuts promised her –
I’m thinking about switching from tocos to berries and leaves
It wasn’t such a bad gig while it lasted even with the chump change you get until you get flushed down the toilet
Everybody has to grease the pole with campaign contributions to stay on your good side and the perks include free lunches
Broward Judge Sauceheads
Where else can you be queen for a day as a judge until they catch up to you …
I NEVER SHOT IN THE SAME PLACE TWICE
5/10 – the eyeliner is so heavy she can barely see so half you losers might have a chance at around last call
THE GRUB IS GOOD
STRAIGHT JACKET
6/10 – But roll back the clock 15 years and lose the laser focused ambition you wear on your face and you could be a 8.5-9.
I WAS THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOISTEST
I lost it somewhere after becoming a Broward Judge. It happens frequently.
2/10 not even a hard worker.
As a Broward Judge my slot was never in the same place. Ywere you’re harder to find that way.
THEY DIDN’T CALL ME ANA BANANA FOR NOTHING

Seriously Hot or Not, that was popular 20 years ago!! How old are you, can you still get it up to have sex or is that why you post about irpt so much?
