More reasons to remove Greer. Jeb Bush needs to stop this murder.

"George Greer is a 63-year-old probate judge..."

I think this is supposed to read:

George Greer is a 63-year-old reprobate judge..."

[montag813]

This is just more fodder for my screenplay. The American people will be told the truth about this case, whether the MSM likes it or not.

[MplsSteve]

Un-freaking-believable!

So there is a greater coat of sleaze on this guy than the Schiavo case alone!

What an a-hole!

[ravinson]

Greer’s most notable accomplishment, during his first six year term as judge, was to cause needlessly a loss of a life, due to his negligence. During 1998, an estranged wife who presented evidence of her husband’s physical threats to do her great physical harm, sought an injunction to keep him away from her. Greer denied her request for injunction, claiming he was “following the law.” Days later, the husband stabbed the wife to death,

That's a pretty weak charge. Restraining orders aren't very effective at preventing a murder, and who knows what kind of evidence the wife presented to the judge. She was the one who was negligent in marrying a man with such a dark side.

Similiarly, if Terri Shiavo dies against her wishes it would be the result of her gross negligence in marrying Michael Shiavo and not communicating her wishes in the event of her incapacitation to her parents or in writing to anyone. Any negligence on the part of a judge trying to sort out these kinds of domestic disputes would pale in comparison.

"Greer graduated from FSU in 1964, and obtained his law degree from the University of Florida in Gainesville in 1966 (St. Pete Times, 3/18/05). After law school graduation, Greer returned to Clearwater, and began practicing zoning and land use real estate law on his own, from 1969 through 1992."

Hmmm, something is missing. Graduated law school in 1966 but yet no history of military service during a high draft period. What did Greer do to escape military service?

Great post!!

Surprise, surprise - - Greer is not merely the sick scumbag we see today, he's been a crook for at least 20 years!

Does everyone realize there is no statute of limitations on ethics violations?

What were the results of the FL Bar investigation?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I know if there was a mindset, he could be impeached.
Besides that, is there a body charged with oversight for the bench?

[snowsislander]

None of the material on possible violations prior to the Schiavo years impresses me as much more than mere inferences, and not very compelling ones.

The circumstances around the Schiavo case are clearly outrageous. The bit about the possible campaign violations in 2004 might also have some merit.

But the rest of that looks like there could be some old sour grapes admixed with some leaps of faith about Judge Greer's bad character. As I said, I don't find any of that compelling or even particularly plausible without more solidity than what could be cherry-picked coincidences over a long career.

Old boys politics. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

[Big Horn]

Despite the hearsay he has cheated ,robbed ,stolen, lied and killed I still don't like the man.

[dennisw]

very informative

[Nita Nupress]

This should get really interesting. If anyone puts together a "Judge Greer" ping list, please put me on it.

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks. Now I know why they call him the "Swamp Judge".
