CJ JUAN RAMIREZ

By "Captain Liberty" and "Rumpole"

The 3rd DCA (Motto in criminal appeals: "PCA AFFIRMED!") has a new Chief Judge: Former Miami private practitioner and former Miami Circuit Court Judge Juan Ramirez.  Congratulations. Here's our request: less PCA's. If we're going to lose, tell us why. And now...on with the show.JS v. State: shows all the reasons why it is entirely useless to interview a witness in the hallway outside of court prior to trial. Joseph v. State: Judge Tinkler Mendez (who has previously made the hall of fame) now is in the hall of shame for denying a post conviction motion without attaching portions of the record. DOUBLE Ditto for Judge Pinero in Francois v. State. and Blake v. State. State v. Head re-affirms the long standing rule that polygraphs are inadmissible unless both parties agree...continue to full post
