Brevard Circuit Court Judge Robin Lemonidis Recuses Herself From The Dana Loyd Prosecution VolusiaExposed.Com Questions Whether Judge Lemonidis Should Have Recused Herself Prior To Loyd's 2017 Trial? |
April 6, 2018 |
|
On March 26, 2018 VolusiaExposed.Com published an article that questioned whether the trial transcripts in the 2017 prosecution of Dana Loyd provided evidence that Loyd's trial attorney(s) and Judge Lemonidis had engaged in misconduct. Within seventy-two (72) hours of the publication of our March 26th article - Judge Lemonidis self-recused herself from the Dana Loyd case. Loyd is facing an alleged probation violation from her March 2017 conviction. (see Order Or Recusal ----------->) We (VolusiaExposed.Com) are of the OPINION that Loyd's March 2017 trial was nothing more than a sham trial - where judicial and attorney misconduct denied Loyd a fair and impartial trial. VolusiaExposed.Com's coverage of the Loyd prosecution started shortly after her August 2015 arrest under the charge of making a false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline. |

VolusiaExposed.Com has published over (20) twenty articles in which we voiced our concerns that local child advocate & website editor Dana Loyd was actually arrested to foward the silencing of her law enforcement critical web publication - BrevardsBestNews.Com (BBN). Almost from the very start of our coverage - we (VolusiaExposed.Com) formed the OPINION that Judge Lemonidis had a conflict of interest in presiding over the Loyd prosecution. In July 2016 - Loyd's attorney filed her own Motion To Disqualify Judge Due To Bias Or Prejudice. Judge Lemonidis denied the motion. We find it of interest that in July 2016 - Judge Lemonidis could not apparently see her own judicial bias in presiding over the Loyd prosecution - but in March 2018 - over a year since Loyd's sham trial - she can clearly see that she must recuse herself WITHOUT even a motion having been filed from either the defense's or prosecution's tables. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) forward the OPINION that Judge Lemonidis' recent self recusal is for the purpose of self presevation - and NOT in the interest of justice. From 2015 to early 2018 Judge Lemonidis wheeled her judicial biases insuring that Loyd would receive a sham trial - and a retaliatory & illegal sentence. With that task clearly accomplished - Judge Lemonidis is now apparently running for cover - under the apparent hope that one of her colleauges will complete this ever expanding miscarriage of justice against child advocate Dana Delaney Loyd. VolusiaExposed.Com has OPINED in our earlier articles that Judge Lemonidis has a well documented disdain for Loyd's journalistic efforts of exposing misconduct withing the Brevard County criminal justice system. During Loyd's criminal sentencing - Judge Lemonidis' references to "yellow journalist" & "fake news" clearly provides the evidence in support of our thesis that Loyd's arrest, prosecution and sentencing had nothing to do with an alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline - AND everything to do with her critical articles regarding the river of corruption that flows through our local criminal justice system. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) invite our readers to review Judge Lemonidis' one (1) page and undeclared rationale for her recent recusal. Next - we invite you to ponder whether this same rationale (bias / conflict of interest) existed during Loyd's 2017 sham trial? We forward the belief - that Judge Lemonidis' recusal came about (2) years too late - thereby denying Loyd a fair and impartial trial - as is defined & guaranteed within our country's constitution. |

Ten days before (March 19, 2018) Judge Lemonidis came to the realization (March 29, 2018 - see above Order of Recusal) that she had a undeclared bias that would preclude her from presiding over the Loyd violation of probation (VOP) matter - she advised a representative of this publication that our video camera would no longer be welcomed within her courtroom. This really didn't surprise us - because during the March 2017 trial - Judge Lemonidis had a court deputy confiscate our press notes - alleging that we were attempting to derail justice itself. The very next day - after Judge Lemonidis' judicial common sense was able to catch up with her judicial foot in her mouth - our press notes were quietly returned to us outside the preview of the courtroom. What is significant in the March 19, 2018 video is Judge Lemonidis' statement that she was banning VolusiaExposed.Com's camera based on information she had received from a "colleague". Who was this "colleague" - and more importantly will this "colleague" be the newly assigned judge in the Loyd VOP prosecution? |

It should be noted that Loyd's criminal prosecution was tied to an on-going child custody case (supported by court records and trial transcript) - whereas the mother of the child has alleged that her former husband sexually approached their minor daughter*. This civil custody case has been on-going for well over a decade - with several current local judges having involvement in the litigation. QUESTION - can any of those judicial "colleagues" be assigned the Loyd VOP prosecution without creating yet another judicial conflict of interest? (* The mother of the child alleges that her daughter reported the alleged abuse to her. VolusiaExposed.Com does not express an OPINION regarding the veracity of the mother's allegations against the father. We merely express an OPINION that Brevard County officials failed to properly investigate the mother's concerns - want to know more - read our earlier articles.) Currently Loyd has a VOP hearing scheduled for April 30, 2018. |
