Joseph Lewis, Jr.
Scott Makar
Rachel Norby
Tim Osterhaus
Clay Roberts
Adam S. Tanenbaum

Additionally, Carlos G. Muniz for Floriduh Suppeme Court

Given the current situation of our population, I would vote “NO” to retaining ALL of these “judges.”

That might be one of many reasons. It’s not just judges at the circuit level however. Even those at the federal level have made it a point to deny a petition for the same reasons as the lower court.

It seems to me that those in the court system go out of their way to uphold convictions even after a Supreme Court decision, state or federal, stating otherwise.

Mind boggling, frustrating, disheartening.

Speak to a lawyer.

I was charged with exploitation and traveling with my adjudication being withheld. Anyone have any information or advice on how I can go about getting one of the charges vacated? Do I speak to a lawyer or is this something I can do for myself? Thanks.
