      Good work again, JAAB ! You’re the only place you can get the unfiltered truth in a club of backslapping idiots !
      Very glad Judge Liz Scherer has decided to move on. She’s been an embarrassment since taking the bench. Couldn’t you get Tuter to follow her lead and disappear too ?

    Effective June 30th? Sure as hell doesn’t look that way. Cancelling court same day multiple times. What a pathetic POS. A real professional who gives a shit about people (remember- these are people awaiting a fair trial and fair hearings) wouldn’t do this. I hope her future “employer” reads this blog and realizes how much of a useless and lazy piece of trash she is. Her unprofessionalism is unparalleled. She may be “too attractive” for the bench (according to some) but she isn’t close to being hot enough to make it on her looks and definitely isn’t smart enough to make it on her own doing anything worthwhile. Mediocre in all categories. Good riddance.

      None of them give a shit after they decide to scram. It’s a very old story from the Broward Bench. It’s part of the entitlement problem we’ve seen time and again. Then you have the ones that you can’t shake no matter what like Diaz, et al. They stick around like their butts are glued to flypaper collecting their checks like grimy little shysters during a famine.
      Broward has it all when it comes to its judges, most as tight as a rusted shut bottle cap.
      At least Liz has her daddy to run home to.

    This was never my forever job. But daddy outlasted me and my tolerance for being a judge so I had enough. I need to do horsey rides. The practice of law will no longer be in my future. Unless tv calls me to replace judge Judy

          She’s not a particularly good looking chick. Especially with that lip thing going on. As a matter of fact, she’s homely as hell with that died black jack and the pasty face makeup with the pumped lips 👄
          It’s not so much how she looks but how she sounds. It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard! Lol

      You need a course on gender bias and professionalism. You wouldn’t make any such commentary if the judge was male. The public reads these blogs and your ridiculous comments perpetuate negative stereotypes about lawyers. If you don’t have the courage to say these things openly in the hallway of the courthouse then don’t post your misogynistic anonymous graffiti on this blog.

Legal professionals who try every day to improve the profession who watched the abomination of a trial won’t.

    Tv judge 5-10 mill a year I’d retire too. Act nasty, look pretty, act arrogant, act knowledgeable, and no real stress, you’re dealing in small claims court with paid audience and litigants.
    What a gig she’ll probably film it here in ft Lauderdale. I wish I was her agent.
    She’s the envy of all lawyers. Making millions on the above qualities. Some she has and others she is lacking in you decide which ones.

    JUDGE ELIZABETH “HUGGIES” SCHERER RESIGNS
    It was her first murder case and it was her last murder case. Her only murder case that she presided over.

    Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who after being denied the chance to show the world how tough she was and sentence Nicholas Cruz to death, and then infamously hugged the prosecutors after the jury’s life recommendation, has RESIGNED.

    She was recently ordered by the Florida Supreme Court to recuse herself from a different case being handled by the same prosecutor she hugged. We covered that debacle here in our alliterative “Scherer Schmered” post THE BLOG: SCHERER SCHMEARED (justicebuilding.blogspot.com)

    We are engaging in rank speculation here, but what the hey.

    The Cruz case fell in Scherer’s division. Suddenly a new judge, who had never done a murder case was being assigned the biggest case in Broweird. She was going to preside over the largest death penalty prosecution in the nation, and she had the opportunity to lecture the defendant ,nee the world, about why the death penalty was appropriate. Visions of the 4th DCA, the Florida Supreme Court and perhaps the 11th circuit with an appointment from President DeSantis danced in her mind. All that had to happen was the system working as planned and the jury recommending death.

    Be careful what you ask for in life because you may get it.

    Now all that is left is a crumpled robe on the floor, her dreams shattered by the operation of the jury system, her bias exposed, the hug heard round the world.

    We hope you read this. Or, we hope someone points it out to you.

    You hurt a lot of people in your time on the bench. You were biased. You were never fair. You were disrespectful. You were inconsiderate. You failed to show mercy where mercy was warranted. You failed to provide bond hearings when people desperately needed them. You were selfish.

    But above all, you were cruel and callous.

    When you’re older, in the later years of your life, we hope you reflect, and finally realize how many people you hurt. And we hope you ask God for forgiveness. Hopefully, you are given an opportunity to atone for all the terrible things you did, and all the things you failed to do.

      Interestingly, right when I was about to come back here to leave my own comments, I noticed one comment which I was going to respond to is gone. Poof. (The one that was originally under this thread).

      So instead of coming to Nina’s defense (personally I haven’t had issues with her in court or ego), I now find myself wondering why Bill selectively deleted not one, but TWO comments about Nina.

      So, why does she get to be exempt from blog…and how?

      Maybe I was wrong, maybe her ego is as big as people say and she or or a friend actually called Bill to have it removed…and he did! I just can’t see anyone caring enough to do that.

      Now I am fully interested in how the blog works and who gets to pick and choose who says what and about who.

    You guys are like, really, really, mean. I mean, I literally had no idea that being a judge was boring and that I would have homework every day. I totally didn’t want to work in private practice and being a 9-5 ASA was sooo easy. So I figured, why not be a judge? But for real you guys, it’s a lot of work for no pay. Sometimes it was fun. Like whenever I got to say “I’m going to deny that motion,” but other times I actually had to write orders. That was no fun.

    Not that she is out of the spotlight she can get back with Grady!!!

    All kidding aside, does anybody really think that she would simply up and leave for greener pastures? She was forced out. Since the JQC looses jurisdiction when she resigns, she is out before the case gets opened. Assuming she didn’t do anything as stupid as Gardiner, she should walk away unscathed.

    Good riddance to one of the worst judges I have ever had the displeasure of practicing in front of.

        Tooty was shoved out, lost an election and was greased out thru the JNC. Look what we got for that. Obviously they didn’t have room for another non-producer originally so Liz was squeezed into the State attorney’s office, then JNC’d onto the bench as well. I can’t see any reason why they’d want Liz back unless she’s meant to work out of her car.

        Actually, the horse was jealous because she rode Grady more.

        If you really don’t know, Deputy Charles Grady is a rapist who Judge Scherer was having an affair with while married to a drug trafficker. Do a Google search for ‘the pervert cop and the prosecutor scherer grady’ for a better explanation.

        Her personal relationships alone should have been enough to disqualify her from being a judge. She is a career prosecutor, married to a drug trafficker, cheating on him with a police officer who happens to be a serial sex offender. Then she divorces her husband and marries another cop. So you have a projector that is a part time badge bunny and part time gangster groupie in her personal life. Funny how everybody in her immediate circle got away with everything. Rules don’t apply to the elite.

            Don’t blame it all on the men that helped her obtain her goals. She made her own decisions and is ultimately responsible for them. Being unlucky in love is a fallacy. We make our own beds. She made hers. If she was so stupid in choosing husbands, she should never have listened to the men telling her what to do in her professional life.
            She’s been coddled her whole life and f’d it up herself. So next time you want to blame it all on men, take the whole picture into consideration.

    Mother Teresa couldn’t have saved Liz from herself. With the kind of phony view Liz has of herself, this shakeup was totally predictable. It’s still kind of sad that Liz chose to slide off into oblivion after what could have been a constructive career if she had just not gotten so full of herself. Not that she ever had many good role models sitting on the bench that she could have learned from. We seem to have more political spuds sitting on the bench in Broward than we do legal scholars.

      Liz is scooting because of what I’d guess is an inquiry into her absenteeism. She’s full of crap to ascribe it to anything else.
      Notice how Tuter is remaining relatively silent on the issue. He even failed providing her the cover she expected and she’s not happy about it at all. Tuter is not going to put himself in the way of harm when a possible issue concerning the JQC is widely speculated upon is how I’d call it. Tuter once again shows his lack of character and ability and concern for anybody but himself.
      His lack of leadership is abundantly apparent. Like a slimey toad he crawls back into his hole like he does anytime a decision has to be made where he thinks he may get some residual fallout.

        People are kept waiting. People who have earned good jobs. People who have built practices on their own. By hard work. People who didn’t have everything handed to them. For crying out loud. When a person is handed absolutely everything in life. Because of the accident of birth. By sheer luck. Why on Earth act so mean and selfishly? Why not instead be nice. Be polite. Be on time. Be compassionate. Be a problem solver. Be gracious. Be kind. Be understanding. Be a good Judge. An important job that others work entire lifetimes to achieve as a capstone to a demanding career. Instead of being a spoilt child. Instead of tarnishing the reputation of all the excellent Judges in Florida. I see the comments about politics and accepting reality. But if a person is the beneficiary of all that. Why not be gracious and responsible.

      She ain’t that kind of heavyweight you moron. Never has been. Remember she came from the ranks of the SA. She couldn’t make squat in private practice. Furthermore, judges in Broward are overpaid as it is for the work they do, or in Liz’ case, the work she doesn’t do. That’s why every schmo with a license wants a go at the bench. It’s easy money for underachieving gophers.

      The one he has not is a joke, but hey, everybody’s doin’ it–gotta appear to be with it. It’ll just be understaffed and underfunded and set bogus parameters to protect most of the dirty lousy cheating dishonest misconduct the staff is so well trained in using, as well as lying and denying if questioned.

    A year before Scherer was appointed, her father, William Scherer, resigned from that commission to avoid a conflict of interest because he knew his daughter was interested in becoming a judge.

      Good article. Kinda puts it all into perspective now … broken marriages, drugs, dirty cops, daddy issues and a whopper of an insecurity problem combined with a horse fetish spells disaster! Lol
      Poor chick probably needs rehab, not to be sitting on the bench. very disturbing.
      I saw the drama adaptation of Equus on DVD.

        What’s the Judges for looking away all these years?

        She berates mentally ill people in court for being “disrespectful” it’s very disconcerting.

      the JQC is a crowd of eunuchs with no oversight of value or substance. It needs transparency by publishing complaints to a civilian review board that gets “instructed” in the Canons (like a jury is in a trial) as the basis for decisions.

    That pretty much says it all. She’s perfect for the bench in Broward then. And she still couldn’t keep her act together.
    As long as we keep getting these political pimp types, this place will always remain the same with justice being the last objective in an agenda of personal gain, power and corruption.

    Everybody who is saying that Scherer isn’t hot is full of shit. She is and everybody knows it. We all know that she isn’t stupid. She is far from the smartest person in the courthouse, but she sure as shit isn’t the dumbest. Looks and intelligence aren’t her problem. Her problem is that she is a self-absorbed, spoiled, arrogant, elitist, bitch.
