    Okay Harold here is your chance:

    Stop prosecuting victimless crimes (like possession of _______)

    Stop seeking excessive monetary bail

    Stop depriving your ASAs of discretion to do anything

    You can do it!

    Weekes sworn in by prison Judge Holmes. Bad move. The New SAO will also make him irrelevant. Finkelstein had Satz to make him famous. The stupidity of the SAO created a void. Pryor will do the right thing. Then the PD goes back to the same position as everywhere else. A non-entity.

      Thats just want do-nothing Weekes wants. To be a non-entity and collect a paycheck. Much like Finkelstein became his last term.

        You mean like Finklestein’s entire time as a PD. The guy never step foot in a courtroom. When asked why he didn’t try a murder case he said, “I am so well known it would be unfair.” All he did was send letters to people, as if anyone cared. I remember when he sent a letter to either the governor or the JNC trashing Nina DiPietro for some insignificant thing that happened when she was a PD. Result? She got the judgeship. So many thought he was a great guy. He was a lazy, backstabbing, POS. He would have insane temper tantrums, hold grudges, and his skin looked like an old baseball mitt friend tree

      Yes.

      A distinguished gentleman who served our nation as a Marine has greatly improved the judiciary.

      He defeated a JQC Judge.

      Judge Odom was sworn in by Judge Holmes.

      Judge Alley had her swearing by Judge Tuter placed on the 17th Facebook page yesterday.

      Judge Odom is here to lead Broward forward.

        It is so rewarding to see Odum defeat Bailey. Bailey, like Destry, was an asshole, period. His assholism got him fired. Goodbye douchbag.

    Due to the rise in coronavirus cases in Florida and south Florida in particular the Broward County officials have stated that the Courthouse will remain closed for at least another 4 to 5 months. And all employees of the courthouse must provide verification of receiving the coronavirus vaccine before returning to work. No Exceptions. This is for the safety and health of ALL employees.

      If he is- that is a smart decision Pryor has made. Zaccor is not only a good trial attorney, he is a fair prosecutor. The office is lucky if they got someone like him to come back

        I had multiple cases and trials with Steve. He is a straight up guy – Broward would be much easier to practice criminal if he were an example of the rest of this odious group. They need to get rid of of all of these moldy oldies. Lord knows how many names from the past Satz has buried in the back room still collecting salaries. Are these clowns gone too? Remember Debbie Young?

      WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS JUDGE?
      SHARE ON:
      AL CALLOWAY— SEPTEMBER 13, 2018

      Well, of course, being a judge you’d have to have made all the right moves.John B. Bowman did just that with a degree in Public Administration from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida, with honors, and a Juris Doctor at St.Thomas University in Miami. So Bowman got to be a lawyer and moved up to be a judge of the 17th Judicial Circuit Court and has served at the Broward County Courthouse since 2002.

      But, like Langston Hughes’ famous poem “Mother to Son,” life “ain’t been no crystal stair” all the way for Judge John B. Bowman. In a January 2011 issue of the New Times, reporter Stefan Kamph wrote a story about sexual abuse allegations against the judge filed by a former foster son. Charles Harper told the New Times that “When I was 11, he [Judge Bowman] took me into his home. It was just me and him in the house.”

      This kid was with the judge for five years, until he was 16 years old, during which time the relationship was, at best, complicated. Charles Harper, after all, was a troubled child who grew into a troubling teenager. Six months after his original New Times story, reporter Stefan Kamph published a follow up piece in June of 2011 reporting that the City of Plantation Police Department, where Charles Harper had filed his allegations, “has been keeping an investigation open since late January.”

      Curiously, from January of 2011to at least this past Friday, according to an investigator friend of mine, this case has gone nowhere. The investigator spoke with City of Plantation Police Department Attorney, Melissa Presser on Friday who said the “case is inactive.” Since 2011, this case has virtually disappeared as a trick that bests those of Houdini, the former great magician.

      In that same June 2011 article, Kamph wrote, “Clearing up this case should be a high priority for the Police Department involved and the entire Broward County court system. Bowman’s name retains an unpleasant tinge of speculation among many lawyers who need to deal with him every day.” This is past mid-2018 and beyond unpleasant questions about Judge Bowman’s alleged predatory behavior that need to be answered, is the thought of him adjudicating similar cases from the bench.

      This brings me to a legal situation that I’m familiar with because the attorney involved is well known in Broward County’s black neighborhoods. Judge John B. Bowman has been the judge that presides over this lawyer’s predatory case involving a male teacher and a female minor. Over the course of this lengthy predatory “relationship,” the female minor had a pregnancy and an abortion. Charges against the teacher were filed by the Plantation Police Department, and, incidentally, by the same police officer – who is now retired – that handled the allegations against Judge Bowman.

      The case involves the School Board of Broward County (before Robert W. Runcie became Superintendent) and the predator has been convicted and is doing 30 years in prison. However, it is the civil case that puzzles a couple of other lawyers I’ve talked with. They said, confidentially, that Judge Bowman should not be on cases that involve predatory behaviors unless and until he clears his name from allegations of sexual abuse.

      But when I read Kamph’s three New Times articles, several questions immediately came to mind about the media. Bob Norman’s February 2011 New Times piece titled “Judge Bowman’s Troublesome Foster Son Story Gets Media Blackout” hit the mark. Norman wrote, “It’s the biggest story at the Broward County Courthouse right now, but if you rely only on the SunSentinel or Miami Herald you haven’t heard a word about it.”

      Kamph’s final New Times reporting on the investigation of Judge John B. Bowman on August 30, 2012 indicated that cases “involving a sitting judge are reassigned by the governor’s office to a different state attorney’s office.” Governor Scott’s Executive Order Number 12-207 states that State Attorney Michael J. Satz advised the Governor “that allegations were made against Judge John Bowman for lewd and lascivious molestation. . .”

      Governor Scott appointed Peter Antonacci, State Attorney for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in West Palm Beach to investigate and prosecute if needed. However, as you now know, nothing happened. The brakes were applied and all engines stopped! Last year, Judge Bowman got a 2017 National Adoption Day proclamation from Governor Rick Scott.

      There’s a lot more depth to these issues, but you just can’t hit the bulls eye any clearer than Bob Norman’s preach: “When a sitting judge takes a troubled child from his courtroom into his home and tries to adopt him, it’s a story. When things go wrong and the judge turns the kid back over to the state, it’s a story. When the kid is later arrested outside the judge’s home for stalking, it’s a story. And when the kid alleges to police that the judge abused him, it’s a story. Why aren’t they telling any of it?”

      Oh, by the way, Judge Bowman’s late father, Barkley “Barc” Bowman was a reporter and editor for the Fort Lauderdale News and the Sun Sentinel newspapers.

        And Jeffrey Epstein killed himself … Wasn’t this the same Broward judge when confronted on this issue said he’d sue anyone reporting on this story into the ground?
        What can you say about it ! Only in Broward with its corrupt judiciary along with a complicit media do these things happen all the time.

        I see someone see’s how Corrupt Broward County is. I get arrested AFTER the Judge Told Plantation PD he was a sitting judge. If I was never arrested, This truth would have been kept as I am scared AS HELL to report against a Sitting Judge who lived in Plantation for at least 8 years. Funny how me and my brother was arrested that day. Of course all chargers were dropped for him. We were walking from a old friends house, Past Bowman’s house and he saw us. Plantation PD won’t help. Like Al said, Bowman’s father was a editor at SCUM Sentinel. I won’t get any attention from them. To be honest I gave up. Ive had enough of the legal system. They really need to fix the system. I only grew up in it for OVER 20 YEARS. From DCF to DOC great transfer…. Im sure I was over sentenced as well. Probably because Bowman put the word in. As always, the less fortunate always down below, and not helped. I bet the paper didn’t report I took a polygraph test for this incident and past. So much more to tell, only to scared to tell.

    Who has a hard on for Sheila Alu? She is the only one who will tell when they are corrupt. She wore a wire when she worked in Sunrise to set up her fellow commissioners. She told on Satz in Brady Gate. She told on Ana Gardiner. I wish she would have won. I hope she runs again.

    Why did Alex get fired? Alex uriella was a good guy. He did as he was told and would have continued to do so. Why Alex when Melissa Steinberg is still there, Katia Palmiotti, Stacy Horowitz. There still a ton of dead weight making big bucks in sex battery. Horowitz and Cobitz haven’t stepped foot in a courtroom since the Dinosaurs roamed. Why Alex?

        Honowitz couldn’t try her way out of a wet paper bag. She’s all dried up. I smeared her all over the courtroom. She can’t even swipe a tube of cheap crack filler makeup from Publix without getting popped. She’s a cheap imitation of a real litigator.

          Honowitz is one of the best trial lawyers that office has. I don’t understand the hate. She helps the SBU prosecutors, is a great trial lawyer that can mentor you g lawyers and help run SBU. She is the heart of that unit.

      Pryor fired Alex for a political favor plain and simple. Satz may have been a lot of things, but he wouldn’t fire someone because a campaign contributor had a vendetta against an employee . Mark these words Pryor will be in handcuffs before his term expires.

    Alex was fired because of republican trump lover Bradford Cohen. Apparently what republicans money says goes in the county where a dude with 5 years of experience was just elected for no other reason than he is a Democrat. Brad Cohen and Roger Stone run the state attorney and treat women like crap.

    Why is Brad Cohen getting his little wee wee sucked? Republican money? Are we getting another republican state attorney who pretends to be a democrat to win. Brad Cohen is an asshole just like Donald Trump. He talks trash and fucks people over to get ahead in life. What did Alex do other than his job?

    Just witnessed a case in Levy this morning. Levy granted motion to suppress ALL evidence in dui. Instead of nolle prossing state offers a reckless with all dui mins. WITH NO EVIDENCE. levy demands to speak with supervisor. Courtney DePersio. She doubles down. Said someone in traffic homicide told her they have enough to go forward. With no evidence. And why is she going to some other unit to decide what to do. It’s her call to make. Why is she supervising if she can’t make a call on her own regarding what’s right?

    Harold, what’s going on? Thought things would get better. Feels like more of the same. People just not doing the right thing, conviction at all costs.
