Sheila Alu Day - by now everyone knows that disgraced former Sheriff Ken Jenne (Satz's chum) has lost his pension for good.  Something like $135,000 a year for life, sacrificed for a lousy $150,000 in ill gotten gains (that we know about).  Well, it got us thinking.  Since the 17th Judicial Circuit seems to be the only judicial circuit in America that pays annual homage to a convicted felon (yup, Jenne), why not petition Chief Judge Victor Tobin to designate a "Day of Distinction" for somebody that actually deserves it?  Even in perverse, upside-down Broward, could anyone argue with awarding Sunrise City Commissioner and ASA Sheila Alu with the 17th Circuit's highest honor, considering she is the only Broward elected official to ever take a strong personal stand against public corruption? (besides the PD, of course) Not only did she go undercover at great personal risk to her person and career to stop Beverly Gallagher from stealing our children's future, she also corrected one of the gravest injustices to ever occur in our criminal justice system by securing a new trial for condemned prisoner Omar Loureiro, and ongoing investigations into the conduct of a former senior prosecutor and a sitting judge (not to mention her work in Sunrise, or her rumored involvement in some upcoming takedowns)...continue to full post
