In 1999, in a dissenting opinion, Justice Leander Shaw included 3 photos of the body of Allen Davis after his botched execution in the electric chair. This led directly to the abolition of electrocution in Florida.

This is a multi pronged assault. The real goal is to transfer billions of dollars in public education money into private pockets. A lot of the worst stuff in Fla is to stir up outrage to cover for that. Fla republicans are experts in the art of the Grift.

In Florida, that would mean Ron DeSantis appoints all judges. Judicial elections in Florida have led to diversity on the bench, and also the only chance PDs (and Ds) have had to become judge these past 20 years.

I have been thinking about Rev. Jackson a lot. His 1984 campaign was very important to me. People talked about “electability” then also, so a former V.P. got the nomination instead and lost 49 states. More lessons for us from 1984 then 1972 if you ask me.

For comparison, I’ve been an attorney for 37 years and worked for the State of Florida a lot on criminal cases. My fees were always capped at $150 an hour, there were caps on the amount that could be billed, and that work was required by the Constitution.

I was once in front of a good judge when the prosecutor sd: “Gotta have 30 years Judge.” Judge replied: “How old are you?” P replied “27.” Judge: “I thought so, you don’t even know what 30 yrs looks like.” Judge gave much less.

Third chair is responsible for client control. Keep them attentive and quiet, nudge them to stand when the jury comes in, give them paper to write notes to you. Don’t go up to the bench unless requested. Take good notes. Pay attention to the jury. Help with instructions.
