*UPDATE* 4/18/25:
_______________________________________________
Anyone thinking Gary Farmer would go quietly into the night in his battle with the JQC has been proven wrong.
Mike Dutko entered an appearance on behalf of Farmer, and filed this Motion For Extension of Time late today, asking for an additional fifteen days from the previously imposed deadline of April 21st to show cause as to why the Supreme Court shouldn’t grant the JQC’s request to suspend Farmer without pay.
While one might disagree with Mike’s assertion that “(telling jokes in Court) … are the primary basis of” the JQC inquiries, Farmer has definitely made a good decision in picking Dutko, known for skillfully pulling countless rabbits out of his hat over his many decades in practice.
From today’s filing:
Can Dutko save Farmer? Or are the odds stacked against him, with even the Sun Sentinel Editorial Board recently opining The party’s over for Broward Judge Gary Farmer:
Quotes from the Editorial Board:
“The disciplinary charges that the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) has filed with the Supreme Court are serious enough to justify the court removing Farmer, if they are held up at trial“
“Farmer told the JQC he’d learned his lesson, but the JQC doesn’t seem to believe him. It noted that he failed to appear for a second preliminary hearing and sent word only that morning that he had some sort of “emergency situation.”
“The JQC also raises issues of legal procedure, absenteeism and quarrelling with an assistant public defender over her politics. But Farmer’s poor demeanor, including scatological jokes, forms the crux of this case“
“Broward has a long history of a highly political legal culture, and with it, an excessive tolerance for mediocrity on the bench.”
(emphasis added)
At the very least, it’s good to know Farmer isn’t giving up without a fight. And with outgoing Chief Judge Jack Tuter’s honorific plaque firmly on the wall of the courtroom named after him for superlative performance, Browardians will now, pending upcoming Supreme Court rulings, potentially have an unprecedented three very public, highly embarrassing JQC trials to enjoy in the coming months starring Farmer, Mardi Levey-Cohen, and Stefanie Moon …
GET THE POPCORN READY!
Mr Dutko why it’s a loser from start to end. Farmers prior attorney jumped ship. It’s a no win. Tell Farmer to face the music no more judge and hopefully he keeps the bar license. Now go hide with Destry someplace The cream of the crop always float to the top. And Broward has a lot of CREAM.
And we thought the old Hollywood gang was bad.
It’s a joke the whole place from the building the clerks office the SA the PD the judges. What a statement of total incompetence.
Who was the attorney that jumped off?
FARMER AND DUTKO
TWO HAMS IN A BUCKET
Nobody cares what the Scum Sentinel has to say about anything. Especially since they endorsed him at the beginning!
A lot of floaters but very little cream

I dunno, is that REALLY a Pic of Mr. Harvey Gulkin?
Looks like that old dude who was always begging for Judicial handouts – – yes, I know that also describes Harvey, but I just seek clarification
It’s not him. Here he is (doing pre-production on one of his last movies)
I remember him. A kind man.
My first husband worked on that. He was getting his JD/BFA at Nova at the time. It was a claymation/puppetry reenactment of the Scopes Monkey Trial for PBS.
WINNER OF THE GLUMPKIN PANTY WADD
That was a tough shoot. Harvey was exhausted by that one. He had clay under his fingernails and often on the legal pads he wrote his closing arguments on. I don’t recall it ever airing on PBS though. Unless it was the middle of the night?
I read that Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit, was inspired by Galkin’s “The Monkey in Me, You, and All of Us.”
I don’t think this’s true.
Harry was an old burnout as the picture demonstrates and bacdl is as big a joke as they come.
Hmmmm……will the Supremes make an example of him to send a strong message? Or will they back off to avoid an epic shiteshow? Dilemma!
If they actually go to trial they’re likely to pull his key card to show when he was in the building. All the late starts too. I hope so. He shouldn’t have been allowed to do all that. I hope they get everything and don’t let this be dumbed down to a trial over just the creepy so- called jokes. I mean is President Trump and Governor Desantis aware he’s saying things in court about the Prez? That’s not right either.
Never been very impressed with Dutko. He probably made a better cop.
BROWARD JUDICIARY= SHIP OF FOOLS
Well he certainly showed some gumption unhitching his wagon from the sinking ship of David B. Hats off for that.
About the crude jokes, what ethnicity were the people at the butt end? Does anyone know?
Has he been working full days and weeks in Foreclosure?
Full days —- is that definable? It’d have to be measured against what other Judges in Broward do. The JQC doesn’t seem to care about that kind of stuff anyway.
All Broward Judges should have their key cards reviewed once a year to see whose been naughty or nice. I’m sure they’d find just have lazy most of them are.
Calendar call at 830. Judge shows up at 930 calendar call over at 10. All cases continued or recalled then to purported trial counsel not ready which has been told to judge at calendar call so case continued. Cleats docket. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. It’s called kick the can down the road. And everyone is in on it. A fing joke.
A joke is correct. It’s bad. Especially the docket blockers. They should be DOGED off the bench ASAP. They get all hissy about setting things down. Because they want to leave. They’re done by 10:45. Gone for the day (or reading Jaab and gossiping in Chambers until lunch). Or maybe they hang in until 2:10 pm after the 1:30’s wrap. I get it. They’re not hard workers. But why do they have to make it so hard to get on the docket? Isn’t that what the job is? To move the cases?
ITS NOT ABOUT SHOWING UP
ITS ABOUT SLURPING IT FOR ALL ITS WORTH AND THEN SLEEPING IT OFF
Is Deantis aware Judge Moon donated to Democratic causes in the guise of a Florida Judge ?
“Broward has a long history of a highly political legal culture, and with it, an excessive tolerance for mediocrity on the bench.”
Calling it “mediocrity” is beyond generous.
BACDL should give Dutko a Glumny.
Dutko is getting a little long in the tooth to be representing anybody if you ask me and can’t remember the dance steps. The cat is out of the bag for Farmer and it’s gonna take more than Dutko can summon to save him.
Reminds me of when Bogenschutz failed to save Gardiner from being flushed down the toilet.
These old crappers need to learn when to pack it in before they embarrass themselves. There’s no fool like and old fool.
And where has Bogenschutz been lately?
I thought he swore to defend every degenerate judge until the diabetes killed him.
At least Dave got Gardiner as a consolation prize. Don’t know if he’d still consider it such a prize though.
Didn’t she break up their firm as well as Dave’s marriage ?
Some consolation prize ! Lol
A woman can’t break up a man’s marriage. Obviously, the marriage had a serious crack in it or he wouldn’t be with another woman.
PLAYING THE FIELD IS KEEPING YOUR OPTIONS OPEN
AMONG OTHER THINGS
INCLUDING RUINING LIVES
It takes two to make or break a marriage. Maybe if a spouse isn’t happy, and has an affair, it doesn’t ruin their life, it might be saving them from a miserable, unhappy life. Being in a miserable, lonely, loveless marriage makes for a very long life.
Didn’t he represent her in her JQC trial in which she was removed from office ?
Must be better than the how many has her ways ruined the Broward judiciary including herself. Talk about self destruction. What’s her name oh yeah Kathy Willits. I could have be very excited driving down I 95 Did Anna have very excited moments during Summation prior to the climatic summary. One can speculate but surely the facials are insightful.
When you’ve had them all …
I’d allow Ana to suck on my bañana, maybe 20 yrs ago, back when she was doable.
Maybe 20 years ago your banana was worth sucking, but most likely not.
JUDICIAL B MOVIE
MAKE IT A DOUBLE
Which one was laying on parking garage floor with her thong arse for all to see? Door 1, Door 2, or Door 3?
BROWARD JUDGES DO IT BETTER
Firm gone. Marriage gone. None of his kids speak to him–number of children he admits to fathering has changed over the years. Hell of a dénouement and disgusting.
Big deal, many of you have never had a lucrative, decent practice, your marriage was a total joke and your kids are an embarrassment to you. Look back over your own life and think of all the ways it was a mess and a failure.
Why is the Sun Sentinel so anti-farmer when its done nothing over the years but prop up a corrupt and incompetent broward judiciary and remain a total scum stain on real investigative journalism ? What’s their stake in this game now other than a political smear job ?
They endorsed him. Unbelievably. After the scandal with the lobbyist. Unbelievable.
They’re not anti-Farmer. Or they are now I guess. They endorsed him over much better candidates originally. Now they have eggs on their face. They seem to always support termed out politicians who can’t advance their political careers any longer who have to settle for the bench. They choose them over full time lawyers. It stinks imho how they usuallydo that. Then the newspaper complains about how ‘mediocre’ the bench is. It’s so stupid. It’s their own fault.
ITS A REPEAT OF THE SAME TYPE OF CLOWN SHOW
Legacy Boy.
SLURPING OFF TAXPAYERS WAS MY SPECIALTY
Its all about networking …
THE SOONER THIS CLOWN IS DUMPED THE BETTER
But daddy kept me in doughnuts …
my father used to be the chief judge He still uses that line
Moses Weinstein, 84, was the Democratic boss of Queens, N.Y., through the 1960s and speaker of the New York Assembly. Later, he was a judge. He now lives in Hollywood.

Figures …
I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IF SHE HADN’T RATTED ME OUT
Alu is a total RAT without a doubt. But that don’t excuse your behavior being nice.
You should have stayed with the bananas instead of the option you took.
Monica Lewinsky is better off than you are.
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
That’s Sheila Alu?!
Doable. For sure.
She’s the only honest person with any dignity in that office !
Rat, huh? I wear that with a badge of honor!!
TRICK OR TREAT
Sheila has always been a pleasure to work with. You can always count on her forthrightness and honesty unlike so many others I’ve dealt with in the SA’s office.
She’s standup …
The Sao was chock full of sickos.
Only Alu had the courage to stand up.
They ostracized her.
She should be the real Harry Gulkin 🏆.
Scot Raft ?
That shitass Bacdl was pro Gardiner.
Sheila be my home girl
Its going to take more than Dutko. …
Dutko has long since become a dud
Motion denied to revoke bond of ex-Sunrise Police officer facing child porn charges after attending event with children present
“Mr. Haller, you remained at the event for several hours. Is that accurate?” Judge Gary Farmer said. “That does trouble me. It’s one thing not knowing when you get there, it’s another thing when you get there, you see all the kids, and then you don’t leave.”
Michael Dutko, Haller’s defense attorney, was present during the court hearing.
Prosecutors wanted Haller’s bond revoked and for him to return to jail, but Farmer denied the state’s motion to revoke the bond.

BROWARD JUDGES
A FAMILY OF CLOWNS 🤡
WHERE TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL
Dutko is a has been
SUCKING UP TO DEFROCKED BROWARD JUDGES WAS ALWAYS THE SCORE OF THE END GAME
Black crime?
Who’s better Bogey, Dutko, Haddad, add in the rest?
At judicial sphincter schmoozing ? Bogey wins hands down. Ever since he lost to Satz when he ran for SA he’s taken that tact.
Who cares about that stupid Gluspkin? No one gives a rat’s ass.
Au contraire. It’s a big deal. A Gulkan winner can triple his or her normal retainer; It’s not unheard of for a winner to see his or her practice double or even triple in size.
That must be why most bacdl clowns run around with their hands out to the judges ! Lol
a Glutkin means nothing. Just an excuse for a useless bunch of grunts to get together to share a few drinks and some potato chips and honor the newest brown nosing shill.
L
More unadulterated BS. A Gulkin award doesn’t put an extra two cents in your pocket. Most bacdl bumpkins can’t even make their car payments.
The Gulkmin effect can change folks in different ways. One way is to have zero effect. The fame and glory leaves the winner as they were before. However more commonly, it can warp and change behavior dramatically. The instant access to the upper most rungs of government in Tallahassee and DC, the private jet trips to sit on corporate boards for Apple, Google etc, the demands of people like Spielberg, Scorcese, Gates and Bezos for golfing outings that may be disguised as recreation but are really more work as everyone seeks a winner’s counsel and creative input. There’s also been too much partying after being admitted to the club to rub elbows with Pitbull or Bieber in Miami, often with devastating effects on one’s personal life. Winning the Gulky is an honor of course. But the fame, the money, the power….it can warp even the strongest attorney and filmmaker.
?
What does this say in English cause I don’t speak Spanish
Dumb ass. It’s Italian.
In that case we should give out a Glopskin every week!!!!
Why don’t we give them out every day? Spankies.
The fundamentals of a successful Glopskin campaign can take upwards of a full year to plan and implement.
I disagree!!!
This is the most “stupidest” award I’ve ever heard of.
I agree, filmmaking doesn’t have the same significance as it did back when Harry did it.
Nowadays, any schmo w a smartphone and a few cases thinks he’s the new Harry Gulpfan
Harry was never a film maker. He wasn’t even much of an attorney if you ask me. After losing as judge he did court appointments.
IM HERE FOR THE GLUPSKIN AWARDS
FARMER IS FRIED
DUTKO IS FAT FREE SALAD DRESSING
We got Glummied.
What does Dutko think he can argue when they have Farmer on tape ? Reminds me of when the caught Gardiner lying when they produced her phone records ! Lol Bogenschutz couldn’t save her either.
BROWARD JUDGES AND THEIR LIES
“I NEVER TOUCHED THE GUY”
Bill: r u paying attention? I would expect much more from a Glupskin nominee!
Does anyone remember Judge Zach and his toilet soundtrack being played after a Defendants motion was denied or arguments denied by him
This was usually done in the presence of the attorney and the defendant. The only saving grace was judge Zach did not harshly sentence the defendant. He was good that way but obviously he was tired of his position and needed to find some humor.
Humor was in Zebedee Wrights courtroom. Man was he smart and funny as hell. Prosecutors beware in his courtroom.
A circus then and a circus today.
That was judge Shapiro who had a flushing toilet sound on his bench. Not judge Zack.
Zack had his own multiple problems that led to his disappearance from the bench. Apparently he wasn’t very good with money for starters.
In the words of Neil roger’s imitating of Larry King
Loan me Fifty Dollars. Especially if you’re a bondsman. No conflict there.
When that homeless Judge was living in his Chambers did he entertain in the evenings? Did he have female company? Did he have dinner parties? Did he have a VCR and TV or Cinemax?
Did he have a couch or something? Or did he sleep on the conference table. I remember the old building had massive conference areas. If there was like a big piece of bubble wrap that could be used on top of the conference table and like his lumbar pillow from his chair for a pillow and maybe some newspapers for blankets it could’ve been pretty comfy.
bubble wrap? would pop and noisy.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER TO KEEP HER
Very, very brave to overnight in the rat infested old courthouse. They were hiding in the daytime from all the people. Not so at night.

Moe was an absolute moron
The Script:
May it please the Court.
My name is ___________.
I represent ____________.
We are hear on _________ motion for __________.
🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure he made people say that so his brain could process what the lawyer was there for. Like, is he coming over my place to hang out and watch the game, or is he here for work? Or, is she here for a date and I need to heat some water for the Ramen, or is it about a case? The script had a purpose.
THE MORON THAT STARTED IT ALL AND ENDED UP IN A DUMPSTER FIRE
I didn’t even get a portable toilet named after me ! Lol
You overstayed your welcome Dale
Broward Bums
I stopped participating in bacdl years ago. Its only mission is to self promote a few brown-nosers. Sad comment on an organization that’s supposed to actually stand for something.
You should join again and contribute to the cause. Years ago you guys were sucking up to judges for appointments and kissing asses before article v. Stop with your gaslighting.
Its a useless organization
Bill: time for new material right now, not later.
Give him the Glummie!!
What’s he directed?
Exactly!
All these BACDL butt kissing hacks thinking they should be simply handed the coveted Glumpkin just bc they have a smartphone?!
It takes real skill to do what this Harry guy did: making films old school style,, WHILST also handling his court appointed cases.
He never could’ve done all he did in the modern era. Because of the JAC. The mountains of paperwork. It’s such a mess. It drives me crazy. There’s no time. To direct too? Nope.
After navigation of the major studios sketchy accounting practices on his movies the JAC would be no issue.
He’s directed nothing. Its a bunch of bunk.
O
I just found out after 18 years Omar is out of custody. I’m not really sure how I feel about this, but I sure wish somebody would’ve told me he was getting out of prison, especially seeing how I go visit my elderly mom every other weekend in Palm Beach county where he is residing! Then again, nobody told me about the malicious attacks I would endure for five years when I came out and told the truth. The question for me is would I do it again?
I would do it all over again if I had to. After 18 years. I still wonder why no one on the defense Bar or the state attorney’s office did anything about her unethical behavior all those years?
ANA’S SECRET WEAPON
I GOT TAILED
I gave away my Glupskin!!!!
I’m representing Herb Glupkin this evening and he has asked me to tell that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of lawyers today by the film industry and on television in movie reruns.
LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
Love sucks and then some …

Time to break out the political consultants! Who do we have waiting in the wings?
THE DAYS OF THE LIKES OF ATURD AND STERN ARE OVER
Judy Stern makes potato latkes now, And not very well.
Aturd was the biggest go fetch it pup that greasy judges ever had until it dried up.
The Farmer’s have been judicial filth for decades. Like father, like son.
Why name an award after a guy that was dead years before most of us started practicing law? Nobody but a few golden oldies even remember who he was ?
For tradition sake. It’s important. It matters. Especially in a field that traces back to the Common Law. Does anyone remember who Oscar De La Renta was? Of course not. But they’re still calling it an Oscar in Hollywood because tradition ties together common values and artistic standards throughout history.
HE WAS A ONE TIMER JUDGE
