This is way worse than the election. I am glad it is out of Florida. I am sorry, but what a cesspool pit of hell that State is.
I am beginning to think it is a cesspool. I can't believe a judge can sentence a person who has committed no crime who is innocent and needs loving care to die like that? God forgive me for saying this, but I hope he rots in hell with that other judge!
Don't take this the wrong way but BITE ME. The fact that Florida has a liberal judiciary does not make it a cesspool of hell. Grrrrr...
Do you think the corruption is all of FL or just its judiciary? And do you think the Scientologists out of Clearwater have an an overdue adverse effect on the low moral standards in FL?
I'll tell you, there is something really wrong with Florida; from the 2000 election to hurricane season to all these sexual predators on the loose, and now this.
Agreed. Also, when the defendant appeared in court for charges of killing that little girl, the judge said to the defendant, "good luck." There is something wrong in Florida.
Actually, Florida overwhelmingly elected both Jeb! and President Bush in the last election cycles. Florida is becoming more and more conservative. Every branch of our legislature is overwhelmingly conservative. We've got whacko judges but what state doesn't? We're trying to make up for all of walkin Lawton's liberal appointees as well as other democrat Governors of the past. Jeb can't make up for it in less than 2 full terms. Most of us here are good people who are as outraged as you are. Don't condemn the whole state for something we don't condone.
Interesting, isn't it, that the two most grotesque examples of judicial overreach and insanity in this young century - maybe in the last as well -- both come from Florida. I've spent a little time in both Northern (OK) and Southern FLA and there is something pretty creepy about So. Fla. Lots of plastc surgery, trying to be Beverly Hills, etc. And obviously something definitely insane about the whole state judiciary (the feds go without saying, no one should have seriously thought getting this into federal court would be any solution.) I'm a lawyer and I pray this will finally force the long overdue showdown between the out of control, rogue judiciary and the legislature(s.) But the legislature has to want to take their power back.
