Judicial Misconduct Abound Within Brevard & Seminole Counties

Recent District Court Of Appeal Rulings Indicate
The Denial Of Due Process Within The Eighteen Circuit


Is The Eighteen Judicial Circuit An On-Going Criminal Enterprise?

"Judges Are The Weakest Link In Our System Of Justice, And They Are Also The Most Protected."
~ Alan Dershowitz
According to recent (2016-2017) 5th District Court of Appeal (DCA) rulings - Brevard Circuit Court Judge Robin Lemonidis failed to "afford procedural due process" or relied on "impermissiable considerations" regarding two criminal defendants (Michael Spear & John Mack Brown, Jr. - see right of page --->)

Unfortunately for the citizens of Brevard & Seminole counties - rogue judicial behavior appears to be quickly becoming the norm within the courtrooms of the 18th Judicial Circuit (Brevard and Seminole) - with particular attention given to Judge Lemonidis' courtroom.

In a November 22, 2014 article - the Orlando Sentinel reported that the 18th Judical Circuit had only 43 judges - equating to a mere 4% of the state's total judges. However, the 18th Judicial Circuit lead the state in judges formally charged with ethics violations.

According to a March 15, 2018 Orlando Sentinel article - Seminole Circuit Court Judge Jessica Recksiedler got herself caught between the proverbial rock and a hard spot when she initially refused to recuse herself in a double murder case. Judge Recksiedler refused to grant a death row inmate a new trial - even though newly tested DNA evidence suggested his innocence - AND someone else connected to the crime via the DNA evidence confessed to the crimes. We ask our readers - is that denying a condemned man his due process?

The March 15, 2018 Orlando Sentinel article also presented that Recksiedler had cited her denial for a new trial while applying for a position on the 5th DCA, even though the case was still pending. "Aguirre’s (condemned man) lawyers contend that Recksiedler’s advocacy of that denial for a job promotion proves that she is vested in the case for personal reasons and is unfit to preside as an impartial judge."

The Florida Supreme Court granted the condemned man a new trial - and Judge Recksiedler eventually recused herself from the case.

From our (VolusiaExposed.Com) recent experiences (2015-2018) with the 18th Judicial Circuit, AGAIN - with particular attention given to Judge Robin Lemonidis - judicial ethics seem to be severely lacking within this particular judicial circuit.

This publication has both witnessed and video recorded - what we believe to be several overt acts of judicial misconduct by Judge Robin Lemonidis. Such was probably the actual catalyst for Judge Lemonidis' March 19, 2018 ruling banning our video camera from her courtroom. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) hold the OPINION that these incidents are NOT just merely acts of judicial error - but rather - these acts are unaddressed acts of intentional judicial misconduct.

Our First Signs Of Problems Within The 18th Judicial Circuit


Initially, VolusiaExposed.Com had little to no knowledge, OR interest in exposing, corruption within the Brevard County justice system. Our focus was obviously - Volusia County. However, in our travels, we were introduced to Dana Delaney Loyd - the then chief editor of BrevardsBestNews.Com.

Loyd, a well known and respected child advocate was busy via her web publication exposing the corruption that existed within the Brevard County justice system. In our opinion, at a MINIMUM - her work exposed two corrupt police chiefs - which eventually lead to their removal from office - and the sexual misconduct of two police officers - some of this misconduct involved children and a female jail inmate.

We (VolusiaExposed.Com) would like for you to be able to read Loyd's articles that exposed these corrupt events - but in March 2017, during a sham criminal trial - manipulated by Circuit Judge Robin Lemonidis - Loyd was forced to remove her website - due to being under constant threat of a probation violation because of her Internet presence. If fact, in December 2017, the local probation office did file an alleged probation violation against Loyd in regards to her Internet presence - which seven months later is still being processed through the court system.

It's our OPINION that the probation violation report contains perjured and manufactured testimony against Loyd. We invite you to read our below articles for more information regarding Loyd's pending violation of probation case.

The 18th Judicial Circuit - Is It A Criminal Enterprise?


BCSO Deputy
Jason Brimm Chimes In


The evidence suggests that Deputy Jason Brimm posted the following comments on the Official Sheriff's Office Facebook Page shortly after Loyd's March 2017 conviction - "Aww, such a shame for the "Chief Editor" to a website dedicated to essentially slandering the Brevard County Sheriffs Department and neighboring cities and municipal agencies. This woman did nothing for years besides bringing a bad name for herself and her family and disrespecting dozens of others. Good riddance to this disgrace of a "journalist", hope you enjoy whatever sentence you get, you coward."

Given that Loyd's media articles have been illegally scrubbed from the Internet via Judge Lemonidis' illegal sentence (OUR OPINION OF THE FACTS) - we suggest you take the time to read Volusiaexposed.Com's December 2013 article highlighting Loyd's efforts in rooting out the sexual perverts within Brevard County's law enforcement ranks.

Exposing The Sexual Perverts Within Brevard County's Law Enforcement Agencies


In our OPINION Loyd's August 2015 arrest had little to nothing to do with an alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline - and EVERYTHING to do with her exposing the sexual perverts within Brevard County's law enforcement ranks. If you have some doubts - then we suggest that you take the time to read our below listed articles - and see if your doubts quickly evaporate. Also you may wish to review the Facebook comment placed on the BCSO's official Facebook site (see upper right of page) apparently made by BCSO Deputy Jason Brimm - shortly after Loyd's March 2017 conviction. Deputy Brimm was connected - and eventually demoted - because of his involvement within one of these sex scandals.

Judicial Collusion


While we (VolusiaExposed.Com) congratulate the 5th DCA in their most recent decisions regarding Judge Lemonidis' failures to adhere to U.S. Constitutional priniciples (Spear & Brown decisions) - we are also of the OPINION that the 5th DCA failed to check similar unconstitutional judicial misconduct by Judge Lemonidis regarding the Loyd criminal prosecution.

And yes - we (VolusiaExposed.Com) mean "JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT" - in NO WAY do we believe that Judge Lemonidis' actions during the Loyd trial were mere judicial mistakes. Our March 26, 2018 article outlines our belief that Judge Robin Lemonidis colluded with Loyd's trial attorneys to deny Loyd a fair and impartial trial - we submit our OPINION that the trial transcripts of secretive side bar meetings confirm our allegations. Within seventy-two hours of the publication of this article, which included the trial transcripts - Judge Lemonidis recused herself from the Loyd case.

VolusiaExposed.Com has received information that MAY support that Loyd's alleged victim was having pre-trial communications with Judge Lemonidis. We have seen no record - that would confirm that these alleged communications were disclosed to the defendant (Loyd), or her attorneys. More on this as it becomes available.

Judicial Collusion - Is Nothing New In Brevard County


Sadly, collusion between judges and attorneys - in order to deny criminal defendants their U.S. Constitutional rights - is nothing new in Brevard County / 18th Judicial Circuit. In 2014 - then Brevard County Judge John C. Murphy attempted to collude with an assistant public defender (APD) - to have the APD waive all of his defendants' sixth amendment right to a speedy trial. When the APD refused - Judge Murphy engaged the attorney in a physical confrontation. When the APD left the courtroom to seek medical attention - Judge Murphy proceeded with the defendant's hearings - without the defendants having legal representation - yet another violation of the sixth amendment. All of this was caught on courtroom video / audio - causing the Florida Supreme Court to remove Murphy from the bench.

Loyd's Appeal


As discussed in our December 22, 2017 article - Loyd appealed her March 2017 sham trial conviction (complete trial video coverage available) to Florida's 5th District Court of Appeal (DCA).

On December 12, 2017 - the Court (DCA) heard oral arguments from both Loyd's attorney and the State of Florida.
It's our opinion that Loyd's attorney won the legal argument - hands down. In fact - shortly after we departed the courtroom - directly outside the courtroom an unknown attorney approached the Loyd group and stated that he attends the 5th DCA regularly - and Loyd should be very optimistic of a positive outcome. Shortly thereafter the Assistant Attorney General congratulated Loyd's attorney for his legal arguments. In fact - pay particular attention to the last ten (10) seconds of the oral argument video and you will clearly hear a 5th DCA judge advise Loyd's attorney that his case was a "well argued case". Does a well argued case involving the impartiality of a trial judge ONLY equate to a cowardly PCA decision?

December 12, 2017 Oral Arguments - 5th District Court Of Appeal

You are invited to watch the entire thirty (30) minute oral argument in front of the 5th DCA and determine for yourself whether Dana Loyd was denied justice.

We suggest watching the video NOW - we have received word that Brevard County law enforcement authorities are attempting to shut down our Youtube account
On December 19, 2017 - the 5th DCA issued their written opinion. The Court issued what is called a "Per Curiam Affirmed" (PCA) opinion affirming Loyd's criminal conviction. --->

So what is a PCA decision? A PCA decision is a decision of the Court to affirm the lower court's decision (in this case Loyd's conviction) without issuing a written narrative in support of their opinion / decision. Basically, it's the coward's way out of having to make a judicial decision.

What's important about a PCA decision? The long and short of it - is that a PCA decision can NOT be appealed to the Florida Supreme Court (full disclosure - no one here at VolusiaExposed has a law degree - therefore our OPINIONS and OBSERVATION are not legal advice).

VolusiaExposed.Com forwards the following questions. Does the 5th DCA - within the courtroom video - appear to have concerns about "Williams' Rule Evidence" - Judge Lemonidis impartiality - and improper comments by the State Attorney during closing arguments? Were any of these concerns addressed in their (5th DCA) PCA decision? Do you believe that Loyd received a fair and impartial trial? Do you believe that Loyd received a fair judicial review by the 5th DCA. Did the PCA opinion factually deny Loyd her legal due process to a fair and impartial trial?

Judge Morgan Reinman
Dirty Little Secret Regarding The Loyd Case


Shortly after Judge Lemonidis recused herself from the Loyd case - Judge Morgan Reinman was assigned to take over the Loyd criminal case.

Our June 3, 2018 article explains in detail why Judge Reinman has a conflict of interest in presiding over the Loyd case.

Reinman presided over the child custody case that was the focus of Loyd's criminal charge of making an alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline. Even Judge Lemonidis connected the two cases during her June 29, 2017 re-sentencing of Loyd. (see video - right of page)


June 29, 2017
Re-sentencing Hearing
Judge Lemonidis Voices A Connection Between The Divorce / Child Custody Case & Loyd's Criminal Case (Minutes 10:00-10:50)
During a January 2016 ruling in the custody case, Judge Reinman mentions that Loyd is voicing concerns that the subject father was engaging in inappropriate contact with his minor daughter. This ruling also memorialized the Court's (Reinman) finding (see Court ruling within our June 3, 2018 article) that the subject father had NOT sexually engaged his daughter. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) forward the OPINION that Loyd's alleged false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline challenged the Court's finding that the subject father was not sexually engaging his daughter. Trial transcript records memorializes that the subject father felt harrassed by Loyd's allegations***. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) also forward the belief that the Court felt victimized by Loyd's allegations. We allege that these victimizations were further inclusive to several of Loyd's media articles - as published within BrevardsBestNews.Com.

As mentioned within the January 2016 ruling in the custody case - Reinman was concerned that the subject mother had not taken the steps necessary to deter third parties from disseminating the "unfounded allegations" against the subject father (SEE YELLOW HIGHTLIGHTED AREA OF COURT RULING - June 3, 2018 article). It is very obvious to us that one of the targeted third parties was Loyd's web publication - BrevardsBestNews.Com.

It is clear to us here at VolusiaExposed.Com that the Brevard County criminal justice system felt victimized by Loyd's publication - Deputy Brimm's above listed post to the official sheriff's office FaceBook page is a confirmation of this perceived harassment. In addition to Deputy Brimm's posted comments - it's our OPINION that such perceived victimization was vocalized by Judge Robin Lemonidis during her April 6, 2017 sentencing of Loyd. Lemonidis referred to Loyd as a "yellow journalist" and referred to her publication as "fake news". There are more examples of the Brevard justice system feeling victimized by Loyd - within our May 15, 2017 article.


Loyd's Pro Se Court Motion



VolusiaExposed.Com obtained a copy of a recent Pro Se motion apparently filed by Loyd.

This motion requests that the Court appoint her an attorney to review whether Loyd has a viable a post-conviction appeal based on ineffective counsel and probable judicial collusion.

The motion further places Judge Reinman on notice that she has an apparent conflict of interest - due to her past attachment and rulings in the subject divorce / custody case.

Loyd has a pending court date of July 9, 2018 @ 1:30pm in Judge Reinman's Veira courtroom regarding her alleged violation of probation charge.

So buckle up ...and stand by to stand by .... we predict there is much more to uncover regarding judicial and prosecutorial misconduct within Florida's 18th Judicial Circuit. Until then - we invite you to read our complete series of articles regarding Dana Loyd.
