There is another judge who could have prevented this nightmare.

A state Department of Corrections official, meanwhile, said a probation officer had asked a judge to declare Smith in violation of his probation on Dec. 30 [2003] because the unemployed mechanic had not paid all his fines and court costs.

Probation official Joe Papy said Circuit Judge Harry Rapkin declined to find Smith in violation, which could have returned Smith to jail.

That's the judge I want impeached. I forgot his name. Rapkin needs to be thrown off the bench immediately.

Sounds like a good freeping letter writing campaign, requesting disbarment is in order!

I think Florida should fire up old sparky for Smith and strap Judge Rapkin on his lap.
