So… The delaying tactics begin.

Looking up. Keep up the good fight. One small step at a time for greater victory!

Oy vey….Sounds like the Miami Beach police and the Miami Beach legal system are all fighting for custody of the same brain cell… I guess the judge didn’t get it on this day….

Damn, I wish you had that picture. It would be great to see it day on the right side of my screen.

Hope you win this one first time out, and good look.

They weren’t sick.
After catching wind of your appeal victory,
they wet their pants.

way to go Carlos

CONGRATULATIONS! Acknowledging that the system is flawed and biased is the first step. Making it work for you is the next step. Patience, diplomacy, and perseverance are key. NEVER GIVE UP Carlos!

Isn’t there a constitutional amendment where you get to face your accusers? man, florida doesn’t give a flying toss about the constitution, does it?

I’d score the first round to you.

Good job. Just remember, delaying tactics can work for you. I delayed several times in a case against me. Also, do you expect the judge to be any better than the cops. Like you said, they are all in bed together.

This is good exercise for my smile muscles…

Well done CM.

Maybe we need Cheapass Games to make a special Miami Beach version of their popular game “Give Me The Brain”.

A “Pyrrhic victory” is dependent upon the location of /your/ goalposts. You cannot move the other guy’s goalposts, but you /can/ move your own. You are aware of your limiting factors, Carlos – can your ‘posts be moved far enough to declare victory?

I’m not blowing smoke – I had a small-claims beef with a landlord, one where i knew I couldn’t win outright (i.e. walk away playing him nothing). What occurred to me is that I could lose /less/ than her did, by running up the lawyer’s time, and winning the most favorable verdict i could get. It worked – I ended up paying the legal minimum, which was far less than the LL was demanding, and wasted several hours of his lawyer’s time. By my estimate, the amount he “won” wouldn’t cover the lawyer’s bills, even assuming a retainer deal where the rate would be $25/hour.

Flexible, creative thinking, sir. Make the situation work for you wherever you can. HTH.

Good news. Grats. As always, gl.

Beautiful. Congrats, Carlos!

Did you have to tell him that the appeals court thought he was biased? Or did he read the opinion himself once you asked him to? Was he angry? I’d like to savor the tears this jerk had. More details, please.

A net positive — and lack of prosecution witnesses a good sign for the future.

Well, Fernandez can get something through his thick skull, apparently.

Good job, Carlos

Carlos, how can we legally get cameras into the court room? I know you can make audio recordings, but how can we get video legally?

Marty,

It’s just a matter of getting prior approval. The TV news does it all the time.

However, they only allow one camera in at a time. That one camera serves as a pool camera for the rest of the news organizations, if they want the footage.

Not sure how it works if you’re not with a news organization.

“Not sure how it works if you’re not with a news organization.”

What news organization are bloggers with?! I amost got arrested by a bailiff last month for taking photos during a hearing. The prosecutor then went on to ask the judge for the hearing to be heard in chambers in private so I wouldn’t write about the hearing.

Under the law, journalists have no more rights than non-journalists, but I’m sure the courts will ask for a legitimate reason to bring in a camera.

A blogger should be able to justify it as a newsworthy event, but I’m not sure how they deal with that.

I would like to bring in a videographer to my trial for my own documentary purposes.

“I would like to bring in a videographer to my trial for my own documentary purposes.”

exactly. Camera and or audio recording device is like kryptonite for prosecutors. They turn into bumbling fools. Keep us posted if you figure out how to get a camera in the court, I’ll do the same.
