The SAO’s beleaguered Homicide Trial Unit is rumored to be getting a shot in the arm. Scuttlebutt has current FTU chief Peter Holden and current CCU boss Tony Loe heading to homicide, with an invitation out to Debbie Zimet to “unretire”. Long time head of juvenile Maria Schneider may move to FTU, with Regina Faulk taking over for Loe …
Still unconfirmed …
4th DCA quashes Holmes’ order in DP case …
(Background – SS: Fidel Lopez speedy trial demand)
They need changes.
Maybe Satzie isn’t senile after all.
Giant Wooden Cock is behind this. Good job, Giant Wooden Cock. Giant Wooden Cock for State Attorney in 2020.
Obviously they do read the comments
finally some good news
Now if only the Pd’s office could get their act together. There’s more supervisors doing nothing with no cases than a dog has fleas. Their homicide division is the worst kept joke in the courthouse.
You’ve got that right ! Lol
It would seem Loe and Holden are about to “unretire” too!!!
Holden is great, Loe is not bad (but he is not as great as he thinks he is.) they should pay Zaccor enough to go back.
CCU no longer has use for the grey haired voo doo dolls stuck full of thumbtacks?
Why cut out part of comment? Question was how many trials has Bandell had? But at least they (HTU) will be better now. Holden, Tate, Coleman can help train the newer people. Because no one think that Lanie Bandel is in the same league as the rest. Hawkins has probably already done more trials. anyway-good move in bringing back more experienced people so that Tate and Coleman can have a break.
Isn’t Judge Holmes, like, the worst?
Who would be the new person in juvie?
Mancini?
I can’t wait to hear the responses to the above
So this would mean possibly Peter Holden versus Erin Veit? Tony Loe versus Phyllis Cook? Maria Schneider versus Gabe Ermine? Hey Howie, bet you’re missing George, Bruce, Don, and Gary now! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gary? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
CCU no longer has use for the grey haired voo doo dolls stuck full of thumbtacks?
GIANT WOODEN COCK WAS NOT DEFEATED WHEN BANISHED TO MONROE COUNTY
GIANT WOODEN COCK STILLS CALLS THE SHOTS IN BROWARD
GIANT WOODEN COCK FOR STATE ATTORNEY 2020
Isn’t Holmes retiring in 2018? Anyone have any news on that? Seems I heard that a while back now. Anyone know?
Hence the how Low can you go nickname. He’s not to be trusted. Watch him like a hawk. Keep an eye on him and Mancini.
Wasn’t he “promoted” to save everyone a lawsuit or two because of the above?
keep an eye on them? Ew.
Wow. Years of mismanagement and exodus and now a loyal soldier like Holden gets the shaft. Loe left once so nobody cares. But Pete? Come on. He should quit and get some private experience/contacts over the next few years. Then he should run.
Pete loved being in HTU and I’m sure is thrilled to be going back. At the SAO you are forced to take promotions even if you’re happy where you are in order to get a raise; he was never eager to leave HTU. Glad he is going back, and wish him well, he is one of the few class acts left at the SAO.
Mr. Holden is the right man for the job. His knowledge and demeanor make him the perfect mentor to bring the newer attorneys up to speed. Mr. Holden deserves the thanks from the community for once again putting the needs of others over any other concerns.
I heard Mike is offering big money raises to improve Homicide.
How about the Pdo.
Anyone going there for PD can have an extra ladle of Italian food buffet at the Christmas party.
big raises and still no one wants to go
Everyone in the office is secretly hoping for a good candidate to emerge.
Egad! What in the heavens are green lawyers doing in HTU in the first place? They need mentoring? Seriously?
Because Satz is a pinchpenny who wouldn’t give trial lawyers raises and then they leave… but spent 80 grand on hiring a Twitter girl to help with his reelection campaign. Ask the public whether paying someone without a JD more than attorneys trying CCU, sex crimes, and homicides in order to shore up his reelection chances is the way they want their elected state attorney to use his funds. someone needs to tip off the sun sentinel
We’ll see how much of a pinchpenny he is come 2020.
If he can only raise the same lousy money as in the past he will be forced to dip into his own coffers since he knows he’s a hair’s width away from being voted out.
I bet he drops $500,000 of his own in to keep from transforming from being the guy that nobody wants to talk to that they have to talk to…… into the guy that nobody actually talks to.
I swear i had this same conversation earlier today….
Satz had to off-set the PBA endorsement Teresa Williams obtained by allowing lawyers in her firm to be procure confidential informants in cases they were handling IN AN EFFORT TO SHUT DOWN pbsotALK.COM

Looks like Michael Lynch just isn’t getting the message…Oh well
He usually doesn’t take his own calls, but I have found his JA to be very pleasant and efficient.
Ken Padowitz deserves the credit here for humiliating the State and forcing much needed changes for the protection of all Americans. Huzzah, Mr. Padowitz and please consider a run for the elected State Attorney position.
Nice post, Ken.
After the Murphy, Bloom and HTU business I don’t think they’ll be able to find a dumpster large enough for all of Satz’s once loyal minions to distribute his 2020 campaign lit.
What’s the Murphy thing?
So that means there will be people in homicide making in the 70s doing the same job as Tony making 150k? Yeah, sounds fair.
What happened with ASA Loe’s very brief foray into private practice a few years ago?
Belly flop
Found it was much easier to suck at the public tit, and the benefits are better. Plus it takes a businessman to stay in private practice. You have to be able to make decisions, not simply follow the old goat in front of you.
Loe is a follower, but for the brief moment where he thought he had what it took. He found out fast he didn’t.
Yeah but Tony will be getting convictions.
LOL THESE PEOPLE DON’T EVEN MAKE AS MUCH AS A COMMUNITY LIASION
DOES SHE EVEN HAVE A DEGREE
SATZ STINKS
RUN AGAINST SATZ
Giant Wooden Cock will not put politics in the pole position. Giant Wooden Cock will not promote sneaky informant weasly pricks. Giant Wooden Cock will not dick over prosecutors for exercising their discretion. Giant Wooden Cock for State Attorney in 2020.
How is Giant Wooden Cock going to get across the crazy long bridge connecting the SAO to the North Wing everyday for court?
Is a secretary going to tug it over in the morning?
(*)(*)
How did Padowitz get this thing to fit in the elevator for the trial?
He kept it up his ass that’s why he walks like a penguin
APPLY LIBERALLY NEXT TIME SO ITS NOT SO HUMILIATING
Is the new Judge being named soon?
yes
It’s about time. Cavanagh or Rossi would not have lost the last 2 murder cases that the SAO blew. They need some experience in that homicide unit.
Every time the SAO blows a murder case an angel loses its wings.
