Florida Judge attacks Public Defender

[morningfog]

63. Why would the attorney even think that the judge was going to act like an asshole

and start punching him?

Clearly, the judge was worked up, but I would not think that a judge asking to meet in the hallway would mean punches were to immediately fly. I would think the judge wanted to have a private, even if heated off-the-record conversation.

THe judge was way out of line, the initial aggressor, unprofessional and has exposed himself to criminal and professional liability.

I honestly don't care if he is legally charged, but I hope he does lose his judgeship. His behavior from start to finish was egregious and unprofessional and way too far over the line. He's got to go! Hotheaded assholes like that cannot be judges.
