… AND OTHER AUGUST 15, 2024 DIVISION FO ODDITIES:
(excerpts from State v. Edward Smith)
Attorney: … “he also has three kids on the way” …
Farmer: ” … You were just shootin’ all over the place … do you know their names? … I’m going to put you on standard pretrial. I’m going to order that you wear a condom at all times … it’s for your own good, ok? … you are going to get a new attorney (attorney’s name not published here) … she’s going to reach out to you … don’t get her pregnant … she’s married, ok … this guy’s dangerous, danger to the community … I should keep him locked up.”
Gary thinks this is funny and ok for court? Did he seriously say all that?
“Shooting blanks in the .. hot sun,
I fought the law and the law won!”
Was he singing or someone else? I heard about something on it but what’s the secret?
Sex court?
Dehumanizing, for sure.
Imagine if Justice Thomas or another solid conservative said all this. The Sun Sentinel and their lib media counterparts would be calling for their heads on an endless media doom loop. Farmer’s the Left’s boy so he gets a pass. The typical woke hypocritical nonsense that’s ruined America.
Scum Sentinel is garbage
Like the JQC a judicial protection racket.
Such incredible anonymous courage from behind the keyboard.
My contact info and photo are on every article I write. Where’s yours, gladiators?
I JUS WANNA GO ON MY NEXT VACATION
Imagine if Uncle Thom ass was an upstanding person and not a grifting lying paid for MAGA POS trash –
“The typical woke hypocritical nonsense that’s ruined America.”
If you’re truly honest, how about pointing out the vindictive temper tantrum throwing petulant child.this has proven to be immoral, unethical multi indicted multi criminally charged sexual deviant who is old and losing his mind that takes zero responsibility who instead plays victim & husband apologists keep kissing his fat behind while blaming others?
Why oreo I thought he gave rice krispies out.
and condoms 🙂
Gary needs to stretch a condom over his head
Nothing surprises me when it comes the this goofball! Lol
Why the worst judges always wind up here is the worst joke of all. We have so many who have diarrhea of the mouth we should hand out Imodium as a prerequisite to sitting on the bench.
Romper Room
It had to be bad for JT to step in. Did he tell the JQC?
My guess — it’s going to be another go ‘self-report’ like Hawkins.
“I NEVA TOUCHED THE GUY”
BROWARD JUDGES
A BREED ALL THEIR OWN
Broward’s Judicial version of the Boston Strangler
What about all the no court on Friday?
When he’s not late…….sooooooo rude and self absorbed.
IM A POOF AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE
See ya in Wilton Manors Tooty. …
Just what we need, More clowns.
“DON’T BOTHER COMING IN TOMORROW”
ANOTHER FORMER BROWARD JUDGE THAT COULDNT KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT
Way too many Judge Judy wannabes …
Did someone say Judy? I thought you meant Broward’s political darling Judy Stern. The most honest political consultant in all of the land. Sorry, wrong Judy.
She’s a sleazy scumbag that used to partner with A-Turd before the bottom fell out of their lowlife political consult racket. Now she’s an old hag dragging a garbage bag around behind her with matzo ball soup in it.
Democrats 🤦🏻‍♂️
Now, if we could only catch DT in a lie(?!)
Appearing at the Broward County Courthouse daily
No, not daily. He doesn’t perform on Fridays.
Is the Jqc aware of the Friday issues?
Take my wife, please
Is he wrong though ? This guy should be wearing a condom.
He’s Catholic.
So should Fat Dave but he has a latex allergy
We need for people to stop talking about condoms and to start wearing them.
He will never be my latex salesman.
PRACTICING RISK AVERSION FROM UNDER MY DESK
Would an appointed Broward judge have been desperate enough to put false information in their bio??
A claim of being a Student /Athlete at an athletic powerhouse university has them scratching their heads as this judge was never in any media guides, yearbook photos or listed on any teams that competed in NCAA sports nor ever won a letter for athletic achievements.
Wonder if they embellished about high school glee club, debate team and Student Council on college applications?
Marra?
No
40 yrs and never known any Broward Jd to have been a stud athlete.Played b ball with Speiser on beach but all he brought was a fat butt he tried to throw around and was SLOW as molasses
Waiting to see if this Jd takes down their claim which the university seems to desire.
I MADE MONKEYBALL WHAT IT IS TODAY
I LEARNED THE BASICS IN MOSCOW
Hell when I was playing for the blue & burnt orange powder puff football wasn’t considered a varsity sport!
mamby pamby honkie
Numerous strong athletes over the years in the Broward judiciary, many of whom coached at various schools in their part time. Just because they had nothing to do with you doesn’t mean they weren’t there.
Certainly may be the case and volunteering to coach kids is to be applauded but for someone seeking the easier path to a job paying 200k plus to seek the truth ought not belie the truth regarding their qualifications
What’s good for the goose….
“the easier path” lol. Not quite.
Spoken like most things on this blog by those who have no experience. Election in Broward requires no qualifications. Fake name (like Jenkins becoming Forman), fake (or true) allegiance to Democrats. County has over 500,000 registered Democrats and fewer than 300,000 registered Republicans. Easy to see why a Farmer would win.
The effort to see who believes in a candidate by asking for campaign cash, the work ethic to knock on doors tirelessly to sell yourself, seeing one’s organizational skills etc might draw a higher quality judge than someone who merely is good at kissing rearends for how ever long that path to the bench takes
Probably will not go over well barring tier 4 diploma mill grads especially with Nova just down the street
LOL “knock on doors tirelessly to sell yourself”. Yeah that makes a great judge. Give me a break. If that’s what it takes, all our judges would be Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Euphemisms paint a picture
No doubt a wide swath of Broward judges do not exhibit a great work ethic
What else are they going to do that involves a two day work week and then only until noon where you’re overpaid and answerable to nobody ? It’s a good gig even if you’re got to spend the rest of your life kissing ass.
These are not legal scholars we’re talking about. Just sliders that could never make it in private practice or lifelong government gophers who have groveled for peanuts.
Spoken like.most things on the blog….
Let’s see how honest you really are…….
How about the nauseating allegiance to a proven fraud that was 45 and wants to be 47?
Can’t wait for all the standard whiny reasons why people kneel before and bend over to be screwed by a fat slob that buries people on a golf course
Alright we give up, who is it?
Giving the wanna be jock that never was time for introspection and see if they have what it takes to correct their mistake
They already proven in a court issue they don’t
Okay, judge Wigand this must be you
Please respond, I’m sure you can
Played for a semester on the Dallas Harlequins rugby CLUB
Probably would have kept going if I had been a scrum half but was relegated to whatever position spent their time with head tucked between a very sweaty guys legs lol ugh
But the real fun was the gallons of beer and dinking songs that came after the game
The term student athlete was coined when the NCAA was formed and was attributed to inter scholastic NCAA sports of which rugby is not one
Not a biggie but a clear embellishment
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Golden_Bears_rugby
Lots of studies show a linkage to alcohol abuse and alcoholism amongst the club sport of rugby which apparently has kept it a club sport not a varsity sport
But most likely with time that will change
The sport is growing amongst women
The alcohol connection might have caused concerns in academia and NCAA to elevate it from a club sport
Loved my black and green checked Harlequins shirt
Biggest problem are ex football players trying to bring brute strength versus finesse of passing and nuances of rugby
I think alcoholism amongst the Judge’s has subsided since 10-15 yrs ago. They’re mostly together in the head now, and I believe it’s attributable to the fact they earn decent money now and want to keep the job and because of Rumpole and Jaab type oversight.
and gummies 🙂
Does governor really take heed to self aggrandizement of so called honor societies from college days of old that the candidate put themselves up for based on 6 hours of class work with a B avg in a certain course of study??
ASK ME HOW I BECAME A JUDGE IN BROWARD
THEN ASK CHARLIE
Respected expert witness on addiction etc always said he was successful in getting diversion pleas for treatment was because so many judges had come to him for help for their or family needs to get sober
Chain gang Charlie?
Hell Crist got us Lopane as favor to Trinchi who could get anyone Century Village en mass supported EXCEPT his grandson who lost in elections twice
Then unless missing something how does a dude who was never married, even a gay marriage if that’s how one rolls nor ever had a child to understand parenting ever end up in family court
Who’s Rumple?
It’s always been a well known fact , the rate of alcoholism in the legal industry is the highest of any profession.
BOOZE BABY AND ACTIVE SENTENCER
WHY DRINK WHEN SMOKING IS CHEAPER AND THE HIGH IS BETTER ?
HE’S ONE TO TALK
He was an embarrassment in Tallahassee too so what any one surprised about.
What’s the Oreo about?
?
Farmer goes by the nickname Needle Dick the Bug Pucker.
Typical leftist idiot. His meltdown against the governor did not age well either.
Did anybody else feel nauseous from the food last night?
If that’s the best BACDL can do, I’ll skip it next time. Pathetic !
Don’t know about you, but my stomach hasn’t been the same since the night of the event. I have suffered from extreme stomach discomfort and reoccurring bloating and abdominal pressure I believe caused by the dinner I consumed that night. Normally I never have any problems, but I swear something was wrong with the food served that night.
Just wondered if anybody else has exhibited the same symptoms. Give me the heads up if you’ve had any of the same problems.
Interesting you say that. I’ve been sick since too !
Super salty but otherwise ok here.
Is this a comment about the stuff Farmer was talking about?
YOUVE GOT TO LEARN TO MASTICATE
THIS COMING FROM A REAL SNAPPERHEAD
Really crappy grub for two bills …
LEARNING TO LIVE WITH GAS
I agree. The food was terrible and the insincere backslapping routine was equally as obnoxious.
Its the last time I get sucked into that.
I was not impressed
Gotta say : BACDL cheaped out for sure. Lousy food.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOUR HONOR
Do us all a favor and chop his dick off.
SAD SHOW BY ALL STANDARDS
Is he wrong though ? This guy should be wearing a condom.
DOES GOVERNOR DESANTIS PLEASE COME TO BROWARD
There’s a better chance of him removing Farms than there’d be of the JQC doing anything but how would he learn about it?
Tell the Pope.
What’s going on with Judge Moon?
Moon still be having her
“I kicked Johnny Weaks’ cracker ass” celebration party.
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
HOW ABOUT A JUDGE’S MEETING
NO MORE CONDOM JOKES
NHI – BETTER KNOWN AS “NON-HUMAN INVOLVEMENT
FORMER JUDGE CHARLES GREEN
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO JUDICIAL SENSITIVITY TRAINING FOR BROWARD JUDGES ?
Mr Smithers it’s Homer here
Did you really mean that?
Hey, anybody know if the person GF was talking to was White or Black person?
I’d like to know this.
You couldn’t county on Chief Judge Tuter to do anything but collect his check …
Farmer and Marni Bryson should get together ! Lol
WHAT’S YOUR PHONE NUMBER GARY ? LOL
On Judge Bryson’s case
https://abovethelaw.com/2024/09/judges-should-be-on-the-shortlist-of-people-you-never-want-to-blackmail/
I can’t believe that settled. It’s a bad look for Scherer.
I WAS COUNTING ON A NEW BARBIE DOLL
He’s an old fart by still scratching for grub with another mouth to feed now that his daughter is back at daddy’s door ! Lol
Chief Judge Tuter didn’t care about him being late in Criminal at all that’s for sure it was so terrible for everyone can Judge Farmer do whatever he wants still?
Scherer’s picture’s there. How funny. She was the same. She showed up willy nilly too. Judge Tuter or Admin Judge Fein or whomever. They let them do whatever they want. There’s no accountability from Admin until there’s a monumental screwup. Then 17 takes a public beating. JQC or legacy media. Because Admin fails every time by turning a blind eye to ongoing problems until the inevitable crash and burn. Admin fails Broward.
All the Judges covered Judge Scherer’s lazy butt.
They’re afraid of her Pops.
Judge Bryson is the only person that’s ever stood up to him.
BILL GOT ME IN THE DOOR WHEN I COULDNT GET ELECTED
Lazy, entitled, absolutley not a scholar, and damn mean to boot. It was despicable how they all looked the other way and/or actively covered for her.
What about Judge Gary Farmer on Fridays? Is he even in the building on Fridays? Did Court Administration know about how many Fridays he took off? Did they do anything about it? Or did they let it slide like the lateness.
A complete incompetent twit !
She has old lady hands.
That and a bird brain !
She stunk as an SA too. Lazy as hell. Just wasn’t cut out for much.
She should stick to horses. Didn’t have much luck with husbands either.
Wasn’t she appointed to the bench with daddy’s influence?
How else would a zero talent end up in a portion of responsibility……and blow it?
I wrote position but this loser blog wrote portion.
And Stacy Ross. Judge Michael Kaplan gets a pass as he is a good judge.
SHE TOLD ME TO GO STAND IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM
ITS EQUIVALENT TO BEING TOLD TO SIT AT THE BACK OF THE BUS
Stop biatching!!
GW got rid of her!!!
Give him the Gullkin!!!!
Why did BACDL give Howie and Schreibs a Glukin but not Weekes? Why didn’t he share in the Parkland one?
Public Defender Weekes deserves the recognition more than his predecessors in the office did—-Bacdl should right this wrong asap and make him a Gumpkin honoree.
It’s Gulkin. And I think he won it already.
Harrry Gulkin. Lawyer/Writer/Director.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Gulkin
That’s not him.
Who was he then? Did he even exist? Was he real?
He was as close to a Renaissance Man Broward has had. Prosecutor, Judge, Defense Attorney, Writer, Actor, and award winning Producer of film and television. The choice to name it after him was obvious.
The lame BACDL types overlook Harry’s true passion: film making
Gulkin has a whole Wikipedia entry on it.
While the rest of us pack bowls after court, Harry was out there moonlighting as a film maker.
He looks a little like Jimmy Stark I wonder if they’re related?
He was a snake oil salesman
I think they made him up because at the time they needed an award ceremony like they had in Miami and picked this person because he sounded like a lawyer’s name.
Judge Harvey Gulkin was absolutely real.
So are Gulkin’s films. My favorite is
“Lies My Father Told Me”.
It is felt that Harry made that film to get back at his parents for tricking him into becoming a BACDL type lawyer (“son,” they told Harry in the finest line of the film, “become an average lawyer and you, too, can reap the benefits of referrals from other bacdl lawyers.”
Harry was a judge who didn’t win re-election after being appointed, and was never in any way associated with the film industry.
Don’t know where you’re getting all this crap.
Although I’m retired and live in Century Village now, I knew both Harry and his wife Susan.
just bc Harry had you deceived then, sir, his film making endeavors cannot be denied: there’s a whole Wikipedia entry on it.
Get out of century village more often and watch some films!
Sort of like the lies you’re telling about any film career that Harry Gulkin might have had. For that matter, the same about his work as a defense attorney. He was a judge for one term before losing. No Big deal.
DOES THE REIDY AWARD COME WITH FREE BEER FOR LIFE ?
It’s him:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/harry-gulkin-dead-veteran-canadian-film-producer-was-90-1130067/
It doesn’t mention his legal career. Why.
What career ? A two time government gopher with never any private practice to speak of. A Canadian who moved down to Florida to try to reinvent himself after a failed attempt at a film clip.
THE GLUPKIN IS A LOT OF HAM
As close as Harry Gulkin ever got to film making was maybe buying a box of GladWrap.
Wrong Gulkin …
IVE BEEN RUNNER-UP TO A GLUPKIN THREE TIMES
The whole Gulkin thing is a bunch of made up nonsense. He got his azz handed to him by voters. Case closed. Just another hot air balloon.
Is this accurate? I’m really confused. Filmmaker or Judge, or whatever he did, but then why isn’t the Best Defense Attorney Award named after a Defense Attorney? Wouldn’t that be sensible?
It doesn’t matter whom he was. The Herb Gulkin Award is the most coveted BACDL Award given for a lifetime of fighting for justice in the courtrooms of Broward County. The award stands for excellence.
I thought his name was Howard?
ALL HAIL THE GLUPKIN !
BACDL just called I’m finally getting the Glupkin!
Who is he?
Michael Satz.
HARRY WAS NEVER IN FILM
I SHOULD KNOW
What a way to go
There was a time when I was going to be in film too … before the flop.
THEY PROMISED ME MY OWN SHOW
You may not have got your own show, but you managed to pinch my chest X-rays, Larry.
That is until they found them in your condo dumpster.
GLUMPKIN FILMS INC.
FOR FILMS YOUVE NEVER HEARD OF
All those old Spd goats were always jealous jealous jealous of Harvey. It killed them when he effortlessly switched hats from prosecutor to Judge to defense counsel to Golden Globe winner. Whilst he was achieving in the legal world he was simultaneously working up the Hollywood ranks from making Sea Doo and Jai Alai commercials on North Lake to the feature films focusing on life and culture from his native Montreal. If it wasn’t for a few brave souls like the former Chief Judge back then they wouldn’t have even named the award for him. Bless his soul and his art. One last point because when the Hollywood money started rolling in he never abandoned his clients here and when he could’ve driven around in the biggest, flash Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham he stuck with his Renault. What a guy.
Miette?
WE ALL ASPIRED TO GREATER THINGS
Hal drove a Peugeot. Susan had the Renault.
HARRY WHO ?
What clients ? Never heard of the guy. If he’s the best bacdl can come up with, you should try a bacdl dinner and have to live on Tums for a week.
Hubie Glukman was a better man than you, Sir.
Brougham
https://notoriousluxury.com/2014/01/18/1975-cadillac-fleetwood-sixty-special-brougham/
How can anyone vote thumbs down on Brougham elegance?
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I EVER MADE WAS CHOOSING TO DECLINE THE STARING ROLE IN A GULKIN FILM
I WAS IN A HARRY GLUPMAN FILM YOU MAY NEVER HAVE HEARD OF
He gave Joe Varon a cameo in this one. As a lawyer, of course.
“Bayo” was a great movie. I remember when it was released, we all got together at Joe Varon’s office to watch it on a VCR alongside Harry.
We sure do miss Harry Gulkin.
That old tape machine was the size of a refrigerator! Sweet memories!!!
Thanks, Dohn. Those were the days !
Wrong Gulkin. Harry Gulkin never had anything to do with the movie industry. He was only a judge for one term, did very little criminal defense work and died of cancer relatively young by today’s standards after being diagnosed. He was from NY or NJ as I recall.
Only that is not Joe Varon.
For all you young lawyers out there , let me correct the record about Harry Gulkin.
He was a real lawyer and an excellent lawyer, he came from New Jersey, was a state court judge for a term here and then was a lawyer with Joe Varon’s firm in Hollywood.
Harry would help out any young lawyer who stopped him on the street or in the courthouse for advice . He was very well liked by state and federal judges. He took on some very difficult defense cases back then and worked wonders for his clients. He was always well prepared and dressed like a professional .
Harry did NOT have anything to do with movies in Hollywood thats the wrong guy and he wasn’t from Canada.
Harry was a supporter of reviving the BACDL back in the late 1980s as FACDL in Tallahassee came alive.
Those of you who smear his name and didn’t know him could not stand close to being the graceful and classy lawyer he was.
I cannot speak for the current BACDL if it’s bad or good but back in the day it was a great bunch of lawyers.
Harry passed away at a too young an age, those of us who really knew him , remember a good guy and friend!
So you’re saying it’s a giant coincidence that Galkin’s old boss Varon had a cameo as a mob lawyer in another Harry Galkin’s directed movie? I’m not buying it. Same dude.
Varon was never Gulkin’s boss. Nor was Gulkin ever a movie director or producer. I don’t know where you’re getting that from. He wasn’t even a judge but for one term.
Article 5 busted up that bacdl. Since it has become home ground for wimps who spend most of their time fanning the butts of crooked Broward Judges who utilize it for campaign donations and guest appearances at crummy honor dinners.
It in no way resembles the group of veteran trial lawyers it used to be. Just a political arm of the judicial swamp feeders.
BACDL KNOWS HOW TO PICK’EM
It’s obvious you never saw Voice of an Angel Liver of a Wino.
Harry never had anything to do with it either, but it was a great movie.
lol
THEY SHOULD NAME AN AWARD AFTER ME
I thought they already had a Bob Diaz award
SSSSH THE JUDGE IS SLEEPING
They’ve never offered me a Glupskin …
Not even a bag of taco mix.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF TACOS TO GO AROUND
