YOU MAKE THE CALL!

*UPDATE APRIL 20th*: DeSantis signs law eliminating need for unanimous jury decisions

“Once a defendant in a capital case is found guilty by a unanimous jury, one juror should not be able to veto a capital sentence,” DeSantis said in a news release. “I’m proud to sign legislation that will prevent families from having to endure what the Parkland families have and ensure proper justice will be served in the state of Florida.”

____________________________________________

The Sun Sentinel Editorial Board called today for Jack Tuter to move Liz Scherer to the civil division, in an editorial entitled A Broward judge’s hug raises real bias questions.

From the editorial:

Broward Chief Judge Jack Tuter has a decision to make. Scherer was a prosecutor in the Broward state attorney’s office before becoming a judge 11 years ago. She should have forsaken any sympathies long ago. Tutor (sic) should reassign her, at least for now, to civil trials that don’t involve Broward state attorneys and public defenders.”

Previously, the Fourth DCA denied blanket efforts to have Scherer disqualified from criminal cases. The issue in Tundidor, of course, involves a specific hugged ASA from the Parkland case who also factors prominently in the Tundidor matter. But does the Sun Sentinel’s position, coupled with the DCA’s recent actions, change anything?

Should Tuter, now that Broward’s most read newspaper has weighed in, move Scherer? Should the actions of the DCA in Tundidor be cabined strictly to that single case, or should the chief judge now be concerned regarding all criminal cases? Or should Tuter continue to ignore the previously voiced concerns of various defense bars, the Public Defender, and now those of the Sentinel, and leave her in criminal?

YOU MAKE THE CALL!

      Who reads the Scum Sentinel or cares about what a woke editorial board has to say about anything ! Especially a judge, whether she gets down on all fours or takes cream in her coffee.
      The Scum Sentinel has pushed an agenda for years that favored corrupt scumbag Broward judges and is composed of a gaggle of hypocrites dedicated to pushing woke politicians and judges that have given our courts the dismal reputation it so richly deserves.

        SunSentinel Editorial Board
        can’t even correctly edit their
        own editorial spelling of Chief
        Judge Tuter / Tutor. WOW

        They also do not include in their
        editorial that the Fourth DCA
        has previously reviewed and
        denied a blanket effort to have
        Judge Scherer removed from
        all criminal cases. The SunSentinel
        WOW’s with errors and omissions

          ALMOST AS STUPID AS SOME OF THE CROOKED JUDGES THEY GIVE THEIR ENDORSEMENTS TO

        I blame the crooked appointment process. Both Tuter and Scherer were appointed by the JQC and not elected. Its the way you wind-up with an incompetent chief judge and a complete airhead bimbo like Liz sitting on the bench.

    Sun Sentinel readership has drastically declined over the last decade. No wonder why. The so called investigative reporters have done nothing but suck the butts of some of-the worst judges in Florida’s history. The list is seemingly endless. Now they want to change their tune ? Why don’t they do an article on how Tuter has screwed up this circuit to the point that it’s irrecoverable. Not to mention how it’s been manipulated to allow him to do it.
    I wouldn’t use the sun sentinel to line my cat’s box.

    Liz to Civil ??? That really is hysterical ! LOL
    She better stick to Botox and leave the complicated stuff to the experienced judges. She’d need a much bigger set of lips for that!
    Tuter is stuck between a rock and hard place on this one.

        The big boys weren’t going to put up with Ilona’s big mouth and her third person ego BS and made it very clear from the beginning when she was first transferred to Civil. They also complained about her African styled robe and was told to ditch it by Whiney or else. She bitched but in the end tossed it and swallowed her blimp-sized pride to keep her job.
        She also took Gardiner’s side of her scandalous fiasco but when it came down to brass tacks she hid like a deer in the headlights to save herself from the fallout.
        Holmes is possibly the worst judge with the biggest mouth to ever sit on the bench in Broward. And that’ really saying something considering the contenders for the title.

          She was home invaded by a bunch of pigs and she played politics behind the scenes instrad of standing up publicly for the cause.

        Spin it anyway you want. Scherer’s time on the bench looks like it’s evaporating faster than you can say bimbo on the bounce.

          Judge C. Lee in the old judge’s parking lot after midnight. What drew the cop’s attention was he had hit his emergency flashers in his Lincoln Continental while getting blown by a hooker.

            Let us get all the facts right. The incident occurred i n a 711 parking lot. What drew police attention to the car
            was the occupant repeatedly activating his brakelights while the car was not in motion. The incident caused a local politician at the time to proclaim ” Oh thank heaven for 711″.

    Certain people deserve the death penalty. Like Cruz. But the application of it is not judicial. Plus the DOC carrying out an execution is like a blind man trying to find a dime in the grass.
    So as much I as I want an eye for eye , the death penalty has proven 2 things it does not deter crime and some innocent people suffer execution.
    However a Cruz or similar assailants need to be put to sleep. No redeeming characteristics.
