      Scherer sentenced Cruz on 11/2. Did she say ‘see you next year’ to everybody as she left that afternoon?

          Welcome to Broward where judges don’t work worth squat and its just a ceremonial position that requires two days a week.

            Yes because all you Broward lawyers announce ready and don’t have your cases reached? More like when you are called to trial, you post about (1) how can the judge do a trial when there is COVID (2) how can the judge deny my 20th continuance (3) how can the judge try the case when I didn’t open my file yet (4) how can the judge try my four year old case when I have my client on a $20 per week payment plan for ten years (5) how can the judge try my homicide case when my trial partner is unavailable since Broward ASAs can’t try cases alone?

    After Judge Fein at 99 a Senior Judge, Speiser, has 91 days in trial.

    A Senior Judge is more productive than everyone but Judge Fein? In all of Broward?

    Hard to try cases when your checking out the docket for another boy to adopt. This guy runs the adoption program? Wtf?

    JFC – Remember the days back in the late 90s-early 2000s when APDs were given awards for the most trials in a year and they’d have 10+ in a bad year. Those numbers would be higher than most judges on the criminal bench now. Pretty pathetic.

      Zero accountability. Chief could make sure they’re each in court after 11:00 AM. But that’s going to cost votes. And no Chief job means no portraits.

      The PD awards all disappeared when Cathy and Howie took down all the plaques from the wall because it reminded them of a day when working hard with good results took away from the attention being focused solely on them. Then it was all about kissing their lazy butts and informing on anyone that criticized them for ruining the office. As a reminder: Neither Howie or Cathy ever took cases the entire time Howard was PD.
      That however never stopped either one of them from lambasting better and more experienced lawyers within the office. It wasn’t too long before all the experienced lawyers left the office rather than put up with the poor way the office was being administered. The truth remains the truth no matter how hard Howard tried to control the narrative.

        Same w Sao. Mike stopped paying attention after the Mancini election year so the place fell apart.

          That’s BS!! Satz didn’t destroy the SAO, Pryor did that all by himself with the help of Neva and Regina.

            How do you destroy something that was shit already? Both the SAO and PD offices in Broward have been down the drain for a good fifteen years or more.

    While pointing out there are so few trials happening definitely highlights that the majority of judges are working only part time, it also will now prompt the egomaniacs among them to deny continuances so they can brag about their trial count. So let’s shhhhh.

      Be honest. Judges mostly don’t like working afternoons. Lawyers on both sides hate trial stress (which is why lots of people become Judges, to avoid trial liabilities). It’s a perfect storm of inertia.
      Fixing it is easy. There needs to be judicial oversight. Judges need supervision. They need to be given trials if theirs wash out. There also should be sentencing ranges agreed to before trial. Like S Kappy did on pleas. That takes out most of the terrible stress for the lawyers on the little cases. The cases that make up the bulk of the dockets. Like it was before the 85% / no parole days. This way trials will tick back up to where they’re supposed to be in an adversarial system. And the Murph’s and Feins of the world can still do the heavy lifting with the big dog cases and lawyers that go on for longer periods.

      Thats why it’s smart these days to be a judge. Short hours, very decent salary for those short hours, full benefits, nice pension very reasonable health insurance coverage for life, plus not having to worry about dead beat clients paying you. How many lawyers have had to sell everything they worked all their lives for and still can’t afford to retire?

        Most lawyers I know are doing very well. There are some struggling; they aren’t good at business. But they are true Americans. They pour guts and passion into the work. They make it or break it on courage. They’d rather die than live off charity. Importantly, they’d never rip off their countryman if they were fortunate to become Judges by putting in “short hours” like a worm. They believe in themselves and in keeping America great.

          Most of them put in the long hours. At the courthouse. At home. They’re available. They aren’t riding horses.

    STATS SAY IT ALL

        I know a man named Banigan
        He has more rhymes than a serious bank
        So come on Banigan, uh, sing that song
        To the rhythm of the boogie the bang bang the bong

    It’s a new very understandable slogan. “Don’t say anything about reality.” Got it?

    RUN AGAINST ALL SITTING BROWARD JUDGES
    IF THE TRIAL STATS DON’T SHOW YOU WHOS BEEN SLACKING – DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL
    BROWARD NEEDS JUDGES THAT SHOW UP FOR WORK AND DONT LEAVE AFTER LUNCH
    THAT INCLUDES A CHIEF JUDGE THAT LETS THEM GET AWAY WITH IT

    I now realize why the courthouse judges leave after lunch. The structure has cracks in it! Makes sense to me as the day warms the concrete expands and becomes structurally unsound. Sorry all lower support staff

        Civil judges and maybe others, do both jury and non jury, as well as lots of special set hearings (1 or 2 weeks a month)

            I’m confident Henning is being given the old heave-ho in not so uncertain terms and for a number of reasons.

              I’d bet Tooty is trying to slide her on out in favor of another scab he’s got in his pocket. It’s the way things work around here.

    If Broward judges are not doing what they are paid by taxpayers to do, a complete attendance audit needs to be done and they need to be held accountable. Why are the newspapers not picking up on this is what I want to know.

      A complete conduct investigation needs to be done, and an independent review commission created outside the JQC, to do it.

        The Sentinel has always been in bed with the Hollywood scum bucket gang. Goes way back to the Gang of Four. It’s lost most of its mojo. Nobody reads the rag anymore and the movers and shakers have passed onto no man’s land after skimming as much as they could.
