JQC V SCHERER

Florida Supreme Court websiteJQC DOCS

As rumored in the comments section of JAABLOG, Liz Scherer joins the long list of Broward judges with JQC problems. The cause: her behavior during the Parkland case.

The recommendation is for a public reprimand.

Scherer, whose resignation becomes official June 30th, has already left the building, with senior judge Lisa Porter being paid to cover her docket until the end of the month.

Will the Supreme Court accept the stipulated agreement between Scherer and the JQC? Or will they up the penalty to send the strongest possible message to Florida’s judiciary handling the most serious cases? Will the Florida Bar get involved? Or will the entire matter be dismissed due to Scherer’s impending resignation?

WAIT AND SEE …

(The JQC retains jurisdiction for one year after a judicial resignation)

ALL DOCUMENTS JQC v. SCHERER

WPLG Channel 10 (May 10, 2023):

” … Chief Judge Jack Tuter praised Scherer in a statement to Local 10 News Wednesday afternoon.

“Judge Scherer approached me last year to advise she would soon be leaving the bench,” Tuter said. “During her service, Judge Scherer handled one of the most challenging cases in Broward County’s history. She did so in a professional and dignified manner … “ (emphasis added)

US News & World Report (May 13, 2022):

” … But Bill Gelin, a Fort Lauderdale defense attorney who writes for a blog on Broward courthouse news, said Tuter should have scrapped the random process and assigned a more-experienced judge or got the prosecutors and defense attorneys to agree on one.

“This is not a Scherer problem; this is a chief judge problem,” Gelin said …

      Judge Elizabeth Scherer may have made
      a mistake hugging some of the prosecutors
      and the Parkland victims’ family members
      after the sentencing when the court was
      adjourned. But earlier it was not a mistake
      to shut down Gordon Weekes who showed
      up at the televised sentencing and said
      in front of the Parkland families that
      “no one in this courtroom has endured
      what the defense has endured”.

        Let me get this straight. It was not a mistake to violate multiple Canons? Are you serious?

          No, the poster is serious. Hopefully not a Judge doing it. But who knows. It’s 17.

          According to the JQC, it is not. It’s apparently a matter of SOP over the Canons as the standard of business that happens so routinely, especially for the 17th, it supercedes them.

          Probably one of the Parkland crew. While I agree with the JQC, we can cut the family members some slack for what they’ve been through. To them, Judge Scherer is the Patron Saint of Justice even though that thought makes the rest of us nauseous.

          By winning by a huge margin like he did last time over a well funded White man. (Unlike Pryor and Forman).
          Because he did his job expertly and honored his oath even in an unpopular cause
          Because he did it in spite of a Judge who has now admitted her actions were ethical violations.

                  And that will give him a platform to clarify a statement that was taken out of context in the heat of the moment and was meant to pertain only to the lawyers trying the case (meaning State lawyers weren’t being ripped, only Defense) and allow him to go into great detail about how shitty Satz and Scherer’s behavior was and how the JQC agreed etc etc game over.

        Attempting to claim some fame,
        Gelin adds to his JQC post today
        a statement that he made to
        the US News and World Report
        then covering the Parkland massacre.
        In addition to his ego defect, Gelin’s
        quoted statement to them is also
        defective because any seasoned
        attorney knows that a wise defense
        would Not have agreed to a more
        experienced judge, and to have
        “scrapped” the judicial selection
        process over defense objection
        would be error on appeal.

          Gardiner was far worse, but the “team” kept it hid and not on public display, like so many of her other cronies. The only reason here, is that it was a very publicized and public hearing, so the garbage was on display.

            They think they’re above approach until the light of scrutiny exposes them and then they play the victim card. As long as they stay hidden down their holes it’s open season for actions such as played out with Gardiner and Scherer, but the moment they get tabbed it’s over. Tuter may provide the judicial cover for these moles and try to provide the narrative, but the truth always comes out and proves him to be nothing but a pawn in the scenario of corruption and the attempted coverup. There’s not a leader among them. Just government gophers stashing their nuts away until the game is up.

    So it’s out. The real straw that broke the camel’s back. All the attempts by Tuter to control the narrative have failed and he is exposed for what he actually is: The Scherer Mole that dug a little too deep and got snatched. It’s true. In Tuter’s attempts to elevate Liz Scherer to new heights, he’s played the biggest single part in bringing her to her career demise.
    Tuter worked for Liz Scherer’s dad until he was sloughed off to pull his own weight. He ran for judge failing miserably, coming in last and going down in defeat.
    To skin that cat a different way, he used his old boss’ influence to skim his way thru the JNC to get appointed a judge and then using the same tactics squirmed his way into becoming chief judge of a circuit notorious for nepotism, corruption and backroom dealing. Not too different from how Liz made her way to the bench.
    Then in an effort to elevate Liz to new heights of recognition and in payback allowed Liz to try a case that would have been challenging to even a veteran tried and tested judge, ignoring the possible and most probable consequences.
    Tuter is the real reason for Liz Scherer’s present predicament. He runs this judicial circuit in the same greasy political fashion grabbing any attention he can and honoring himself at every turn, like the preposterous naming of a courtroom after himself and the display of a ridiculous portrait of what can only be described as a second rate administrator with deep-seeded insecurities and an unquenchable desire for attention.
    He is an unfortunate clown playing to an audience he thinks admires him and is obviously self absorbed to the extent he would be willing to sacrifice the very judge he planned to exalt to new notoriety. He sure accomplished that. Just just not in the way he had hoped.
    The sooner Tuter is no longer chief judge, the better for Broward Citizens and I wont hesitate but to say the other judges of this circuit. He remains an incompetent embarrassment.

      The ‘circle the wagons’ mentality has always been the downfall of 17. It does damage to everyone instead of helping anyone. Of course it would take a real leader in the Chief chair to understand that. There’s never been such a thing here since Miette. Until that happens the really good jurists (which is most of them) will continue to be grouped in with the outragepus outliers who cause all the grief and ‘blog fodder.’

          Literally nothing. When he ran, he came in 4th place. So Scherer’s daddy gave him this appointment. Ever since, he’s done absolutely zero but run the integrity of this job into the ground. If I were a broward judge I’d be really upset with how he’s rendered the title of Judge meaningless in this county. It’s a joke. And embarrassing.

          Oh and he completely fucked up the new courthouse. Terrible job bidding it. Terrible job managing it. (When they realized that liability of a hallway was on two separate floors they should have fixed it). And terrible job overseeing design. Those courtrooms make no functional sense and everyone knows it. And for all that, he patted himself in the back with that ridiculous painting and that ridiculous courtroom naming.
          What a pathetic attempt by an old man to leave a legacy. Sorry dude, the minute you’re gone, that courtroom will be renamed for someone who did something. Someone who made a difference in this world/county/profession. Tuter has done fuckall. And it makes my shrivel up from embarrassment thinking about how he is such a loser that he doesn’t get that no one actually respects him. No one.

    POINT BLANK IM GOING TO SAY IT. IM A DEFANDANT THAT WAS PUT IN FRONT OF THAT NASTY JUDGE. SHE IS IN EVERY WAY SHAPE AND FORM JUST NASTY. SHE LACKS GRACE, DIGNITY, BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING LACKS THE RESPECT, THE RESPECT FOR THE OATH SHE TOOK WHEN SHE BECAME SUCH A DISGRACEFUL JUDGE. IT UTTERLY DISGUSTED ME, HOW I WAS SPOKEN TO WHEN I WENT BEFORE HER. LONG STORY SHORT I WILLO SAY IM NOT GUILTY TO THE CRIMES OF WHICH IM BEING ACCUSED, AND I WAS PRAYING FOR THIS DAY TO COME, AND VOILA. SHE WAS JUST NASTY, AND THAT IS STILL PUTTING IT NICE, I THOUGHT WHAT I SAW ON WAS JUST HER TV PERSONALITY FROM THE CRUZ TRIAL IT WAS MADE FOR TV, NO WAS I WRONG. AND WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I HAVE A FILE OF MY OWN INVESTIGATIONS THAT IM CONDUCTING AND WHEN I EXPOSE THE 17 FOR WHAT IT TRULY IS, THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION, REALLY SICKENS ME. JUSTICE (there is none at least not in Broward. its all about how much you have in your pockets) and TO ALL YOU PROSECUTORS ON HERE, ANSWER ME THIS; SINCE THIS IS “ANNONYMOUS” HOW THE HELL DO YOU OVER CHARGE AND/OR BOGUS CHARG DEFANDENTS IN CASES WHERE YOU YOURSELF ARE COMMITING THE SAME CRIMES YOUR PROSECUTING? HMMMM MAKES YOU WONDER? (and i have the evidence, black and white unlike the lies and exaggerations that involve the imaginary evidence in my case) MR. GELIN MAYBE SOMEDAY WE CAN TALK AND SPILL SOME OF THE JUICEST TEA FOR THE BLOG. I CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF THE CORRUPTION THAT IS RUNNING AROUND THE SAOS. THAT I SO HAPPENED TO STUMBLE UPONE 🙂 LMK THIS IS TV WORTHY…VERY CANT SAY I BLAME HER EX DOING DRUGS, CAN YOU IMAGINE DEALING WITH HER EVERYDAY. AND SHE KNOWS DAMN WELL SHE IS A BIAS ASS JUDGE, AS SHE BRAZENLY ADMITTED. I JUST WONDER HOW SHE GOT AWAY WITH IT FOR SO LONG… OOPS WAIT. TOOTY…DADDY… AHH ALL MAKES MORE SENSE.

    Lisa Porter is one of the dumbest and slowest former judges this circuit has ever had. Why would Tuter hire that sad sack of a human being back unless she begged him and really needs the dough ? Birds of a feather hire maybe ? Really Tooty, you can’t do better ?
    What do they have, a list of old idiot burnouts they call in whenever a judge gets canned or quits ?

      Judge Porter is a good Judge. Smart and even keeled. She should have been the Cruz Judge. The trial of a monster being tried for monstrous crimes wouldn’t have become a nationally televised bush league monstrosity if she had. She can’t be blamed for an excessively absent Judge either. She’s stepping up to help out. The issue remains that Judges could easily cover the Scherer dockets in addition to their own. The sheer number of early closing for the day courtrooms attest to that. However, the fact that Admin won’t act decisively or reponsibly isn’t Judge Porter’s fault either. So can it. The criticism here is misdirected at one of the best Judges to ever grace 17.

    Why has everything turned to race or gender/ sexual orientation? Neither one deals with the real issues in society.
    I think we should all walk around in skin suits to hide our race and gender/sexual orientation.
    Do the gay lawyers wear a lapel pin of the rainbow flag in court?
    What do heterosexuals wear a penis or vagina lapel pin?

    Is all this gay stuff being brought up because Judge Porter is being dragged back to the bench to take up the slack from the resignation of Liz Scherer ? I don’t like Porter, never did, but I don’t see why it should really make any difference. She’ll be just as crappy a judge as Judge Liz ever was. Worse. Porter was just as crappy a judge before she too resigned and took the dive off the deep end the last time. Nothing will change but she’ll be collecting a check again. Tuter couldn’t have made a worse decision to bring her back of all people. Just my call.

    I thought Liz’ last day was the 30th of this month. What are they paying Porter for finishing up the month for ? Double scabbing the taxpayers or what? I would appreciate an answer to my question and to whom I make my written complaint if this is so.

      The JNC can’t open her position up until her “retirement” is official. Meaning – unless Chief moves a Judge over on July 1 the taxpayers will be soaked paying a Sr for the entire time it takes to appoint a new Judge for her spot. The extra 30 days of time off Scherer “found” is outrageous given her JQC issues. It’s compounded now by the extra cost to taxpayers. Judge Tuter should either shut her division down and redistribute it to the other Judges who hardly work anyway (Scherer was rarely here herself so what’s the difference if there’s another ghost division) or assign a Judge to that division full time immediately and stop wasting money on a Sr for the next few months of JNC time.

    I agree 100% but get real the public trough is open. I have a friend who was a city council member. She could not believe all the pay the costs reimbursement the retirement plan and lifetime health insurance for her and spouse and while her children were eligible.
    Even though shocked, she willing accepted every penny and dime of those perks to this day.
    So a fellow trough feeder is not gonna cut off another trough feeder unless completely necessary.

      He really did his best on the pro-spin for Judge Scherer. She didn’t make it easy though. It makes him look silly. Look at that editorial yesterday? The County Commissioners have done the same for him. All the pro-spin. He’s a terrible Chief Judge. One mess after another. Then they name things after him like he’s some deity. It’s gross. I get it though. The courthouse is one abomination after another going back to Chief Ross. The Commissioners have no choice. The judiciary won’t elect an actual leader. Therefore it’s up to the Commissioners to prop up the sagging institution.

              Scherer never got it. Respect is earned. There’s deference to power. Sure. But personal respect cannot be bestowed by a Governor or a Daddy. That’s earned by being respectful to others, no matter their social class or standing. By being fair. By being compassionate, when warranted or when necessary (like when someone is obviously mentally ill and confused in a courtroom). By understanding everyone’s time is valuable, not only one’s own. By not being hypocritical by issuing warrants when people are late, after being late yourself. The same thing for not calling others unprofessional, when your own behavior is the height of unprofessionalism. By not skipping out early habitually or blowing off work entirely when so many others are impacted. By not constantly burdening one’s colleagues with coverage or your own trial cases. Scherer can now send out as many friend requests as she wants. She will always be remembered for egotism and unadulterated selfishness and entitlement, bastardizing a job she was never qualified for in the first place, proven by her own utter lack of respect for herself, the system, and all those that were compelled to sit through her 10 year childish tantrum. She got to jump the line because of her father, and she squandered the opportunity to prove she could stand on her own by refusing to buckle down and becoming a respected person who deserved an important position in society by working diligently and thoughtfully every single day, like anyone else. Collecting all the fake social media friends in the world or even becoming a vacuous television fake personality won’t erase history, or cure unhappiness. Ever. But hard work will. She has all the good wishes any person is entitled to going forward. But if she’s given another opportunity in any field, she should approach it in entirely different fashion than the one previously employed that has brought so much same and indignity and pain to the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida. For her sake, and most importantly for all others.

        Judging by her social media, she is attempting to rally up sympathy votes for something- maybe this is it. It’s so laughable- all of the sudden she loves her job and everyone in the courthouse- AFTER she resigned. Even better and my personal favorite was when she said she would miss seeing someone “everyday” in her courtroom as if she was actually at work everyday. She is so blatantly transparent.

The fact her bar profile lists the “patent office” is a lie. The patent email is bogus. But it’s pathological. Everything she involves herself has a dishonest spin. It’s dishonesty in all her dealings. The jail sentence she loves to advertise did nothing to reform her character all these years later. Agree the JQC would stop a felon from taking the bench regardless. She can’t run again. Get behind a real candidate.

And now Odom is just…worse than Bailey on his worst day. He’s unnecessarily rude and makes things unnecessarily difficult. And it doesn’t seem like he has a very good grasp on the law. At all. He behaves like a tyrant—he has a grin on his face when he exercises his bullshit authority in a way that hurts people. Like not letting a defendant go on vacation with his family…why?? He’s been accused of a crime, he hasn’t been convicted….why are you punishing people before they’re convicted? I don’t know; he just isn’t a person who can be trusted with power.

    Ps—no one better make any racial comments. You idiots take away the credibility of the argument against this man when you make it racial. So add to the conversation if you want to add instances of bad judicial temperament on his part. Otherwise, please don’t.

    Some people just aren’t cut out to be a judge. Broward seems to have a lot of judges that can’t figure out they’re just a cog in the wheel of justice, and not the most important part.
