Jan Govan is brilliant compared to Greer, a former zoning commissioner who we can thank for all the T & A bars all over Pinellas. We can thank Greer for the density in Pinellas Cty. He knew zilch about probate and got lucky in 1993 cuz nobody was running so he slipped right in. He even admitted he didn’t know about probate. That’s why he was so easily manipulated and why he was reversed 2/3 on appeal. He didn’t get reversed on Terri cuz the agenda was way beyond J. Greer’s pay grade. He gets to be the face of her barbaric death though - until all the truth comes out.
all probably true and yet he still has job security.
AND on top of this Florida judges want to go to merit retention so a committee selects who is going to be a judge (actually their multiple choice candidates the governor has to pick from) AND THEN judges are up for only retention votes ala the appelate judges (WHO NEVER have lost a retention vote)
