Yes, that is her.

A Broward County circuit judge delivered a blistering, arm-waving, face-palming, tongue-lashing to a frail, out-of-breath woman — pushed into court in a wheelchair — who was facing misdemeanor charges following a family feud.
Three days later, the defendant died.
...
Twiggs suffered from asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also called COPD. She ended up under arrest after squabbling with her 19-year-old daughter.
...
Porter told the Miami Herald that once Twiggs was released from jail and taken back home, she was starving, dizzy and borderline breathless. She had trouble getting her medications in the jail, Porter said.
... Twiggs tries to answer the question, which requires more than a "yes" or "no" because the 19-year-old doesn't live with Twiggs full-time. Mid-sentence, Ehrlich snaps at her: "Excuse me! Don't say anything beyond what I am asking you!" Clearly exasperated, Ehrlich asks Twiggs' lawyer, who is in a different location during the video hookup, to make Twiggs stop talking.
As Twiggs coughs and holds her head, Ehrlich speaks to deputies, who are off-screen: "Can someone there give her water as a kindness?" But the judge's anger continues to boil over. Twiggs tries to tell the judge that she needs medical treatment for her pulmonary problems.
The judge erupts: "Ma'am, I am not here to talk to you about your breathing treatments!"
Again, Ehrlich prevails upon Twiggs' lawyer to teach her better courtroom manners. "Will you say something in the microphone so that she can hear you and you can give her instructions about propriety in the court?" the judge says. "I'm not going to spend all day with her interrupting me," Ehrlich says.
"You've already said too much!"

Hmmmm... Maybe she was "coked" up.. A dimocrap, no doubt.
We need to reign on the kings in black dresses.
Upsetting to watch the video! Not a chance was given to an oxygen deprived victim, who was so distracted by her need for air, she could not think! She was living in Hell during that verbal beat down from the pit of Hell.
Really, removal or impeachment of this shrew of a judge is far an away too easy an out. It was both mental and physical abuse of a witness— one who did not know that she would not be allowed comfort or relief.
BTW, the public defender SUCKED!
Yes, that is her.
What do we expect from an über liberal democrat county?
Yeah, I also wondered about that.
Reminds me of several psychos that I met in different occupations.

That judge is the epitome of the RAT “Nasty Woman”.
Natch.
Judge was female, a male could never get away with such borderline psychotic assininity. Sorry ladies but it’s true.
Once again begging the same question:
Q. What do you call an attorney with an IQ of 50?
A. Your Honor.
Broward County Circuit Court Judge Merrilee Ehrlich
Me too. But this judge. I wonder if she was elected or appointed. All ballots for judges should be a question: "Should judge so-and-so be retained?" Where I live often no one runs against the incumbent.
She must have gone to the Roland Freisler School of Law.
PP-sycho face too, she a bad one.
One would hope that lady's family would get satisfaction.
She is woman. Hear her roar.

And she’s most likely there only because it was politically advantageous to appoint a woman.
The woman is a creep.
She was watching too much of Judge Judy.
