    I invented the mold scam when voters vetoed the building of the new courthouse. We built it anyway. All it took was flushing a few rolls of toilet paper down the drains to create the sound motive for a new building that now leaks like a sieve.
    And I didn’t even get it named after me. Lol 😂

    Who cares no goes to work there anymore everything is remote. The only people that go there are citizens, security personnel, a few clerks that do nothing, and police officers securing the place.
    When is courthouse gonna become a courthouse again and just a vacant building. Everybody hides behind Covid or other security claims that are unfounded.
    File a document in person and nobody knows how to file it or label it. You to tell the clerk or actually the supervisor. Who gets mad because they want you to file on line.
    You go Brenda.

      Everyone prefers zoom for non-evidentiary hearings. Why waste all the time driving in to court for a a 5 minute status?

        Because lawyers like to get paid for driving and waiting. Zoom means they only get to bill for the time they’re working.

    A Florida judge has settled her lawsuit against a lawyer she sued for allegedly trying to blackmail her with nude photos chronicling her pregnancy.

    Lawyers for Judge Marni Bryson of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Florida settled her emotional-distress suit against lawyer William Scherer and his law firm, Conrad & Scherer, their lawyers told a judge during a Zoom hearing Monday. The settlement is confidential, Scherer told the ABA Journal in his only comment on the case.

    Law360 covered the Sept. 9 hearing and published a story on the settlement resolving all claims, reached within weeks of the trial scheduled for Sept. 23.

    Bryson had accused Scherer of sending another lawyer to her chambers to deliver the nude-photo threat during a post-divorce dispute between Bryson and her ex-husband. Scherer represented the ex-husband’s then-girlfriend, who was a “powerful lawyer/lobbyist,” according to a March 2021 story by the Florida Bulldog.

    According to Bryson, she was told that her nude photos and other damaging information would be released if she insisted on taking a deposition of the then-girlfriend. She sought punitive damages against the defendants.

    In an Aug. 13 motion for summary judgment, Scherer had alleged that Bryson presented no evidence of a threat, let alone any “outrageous” threat by an emissary, who was a lawyer who previously advised Bryson.

    Scherer’s motion said he met with the lawyer and suggested that Bryson had to know the kind of information that would come out if the then-girlfriend was deposed, so that Bryson could decide whether to proceed. The lawyer then recounted his conversation with Scherer to Bryson, the motion says.

    The alleged information possessed by the then-girlfriend included a nude photo of Bryson that the judge allegedly sent to the then-girlfriend’s ex-husband after they began a friendly relationship, the motion says. According to previous coverage by the Florida Bulldog, the nude photo allegedly showed Bryson’s pregnancy.

    On Aug. 19, Bryson filed a motion in limine seeking to keep alleged “bad acts” out of evidence in the upcoming trial on the ground that they are “irrelevant and immaterial.” Scherer and his firm “have attempted to distract from the central issues in this case by making a number of irrelevant allegations to smear Judge Bryson,” the motion says.

    The evidence that should be excluded includes “post-divorce bickering,” the people to whom Bryson sent photos, and “such irrelevant issues as who was sleeping with who,” the motion says.

    In a footnote, the motion says one of the photos produced by the defendants “is an image of a vagina that is not Judge Bryson’s,” and “there is no conceivable basis for this image becoming part of the trial.”

    Judge William L. Roby of the 19th Judicial Circuit in Florida denied the summary judgment motion Sept. 5 because it was filed too late. The Sept. 9 Zoom hearing was happening to consider Bryson’s motion to exclude evidence.

    Oliver M. Birman, a lawyer representing Bryson, chose not to comment to the Journal. Gail A. McQuilkin, a lawyer representing Scherer, did not immediately respond to the Journal’s emailed request for comment. Bryson did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

          Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want to see her vagina on a good day. Horrible judge and none of this surprises me at all. Maybe she should work at a massage parlor instead of sitting on the bench. This must be a huge embarrassment to her fellow judges.

            There was no relevance. There was no proof. No authentication. For crying out loud. The pictures could have been of nothing more than artfully folded and staged pieces of folded up ham. They were smart to settle.

              I bet she settled this stinker for $1.00 US. She’d have been crazy to blast this all over the state. C&S are top dog lawyers. If they said it was a vagina then it most definitely was 100% vagina.

    I know judges have a lot of time on their hands, at least around here, but exchanging pictures of their vaginas takes it to a whole new level. Very disturbing behavior.

    Look. I think everyone can agree—we all like vaginas—and penis’s (peni?). They are fun. They give us joy. But do we really need to photograph them. I think not. Most significant-should jurists be photographing their privates? And distributing them? I mean—should I be worried a Judge whose looking at his or her phone while a lawyer is arguing—is texting pictures of privates in court? Can anything be done?

    Nothin worse than two bimbos battling it out unless you’re into that kind of thing ! Lol
    But a judge comparing vaginas might be taking it a little too far.
    I wouldn’t want her as judge on any of my cases unless it involved a gynecologist. Maybe not even then,

      Is the stairwell still available or have stopped access to it unless an emergency. It was a notable place to smoke and get smoked or poke someone. Even a jury pool criminal. Where is Hollywood when you need them. Life is truer than fiction.
