On December 11, 2017, VolusiaExposed.Com attended the vetting / interview process of Florida's 7th Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). The 7th JNC interviewed 22 qualified candidates in order to fill the position open due to the retirement of County Court Judge Shirley Green. VolusiaExposed wishes to extend our thanks to all the 7th JNC members , they were all very open, approachable and professional. The JNC narrowed the list of judicial candidates to six (6) qualified judicial nominees. These nominees' names will be forwarded to the Governor for his final selection and appointment. (see right of web page) ---> Based on what was heard, and what was discussed during the interview process, most* of the nominees are qualified to serve as a County Court judge. We invite our readers to review the video interviews of the nominees. *VolusiaExposed.Com has concerns regarding the nominee - Mr. Cromartie, which, we are told, will be sent to the governor's office along with any other concerns received by the JNC regarding these judicial nominees - see below for details |

12-11-2017 Interview Cromartie's Redacted Application |
| FULL DISCLOSURE: VolusiaExposed.Com has self-redacted some of the personal information contained in the above judicial applications. While the JNC advised the applicants to provide two copies of their application (one being a redacted copy) - some personal identifying information (home addresses, telephone numbers, DOBs, etc.) were identified by our staff - therefore, for safety and privacy reasons, we redacted this information. We make no assurances that we discovered and removed all redactable information - but it's better than how we received them. |

Back on February 24, 2016 - Mr. Cromartie interviewed with the JNC. During this interview the JNC expressed a concern that Mr. Cromartie had an apparent tolerance for false testimony by law enforcement officers. They (JNC) did not forward Mr. Cromartie name to the governor's office for consideration for judicial appointment. Last October (2017) - Mr. Cromartie also applied for Judge Kellie Miles' open circuit court seat. Judge Miles died last summer leaving a vacancy in the circuit court. VolusiaExposed.Com via an August 30, 2017 letter to JNC Commissioner Chris Greene reminded the JNC of their February 2016 concern regarding Mr. Cromartie. Our concerns are further outlined within our March 20, 2017 article. During Mr. Cromartie's October 5, 2017 interview - the JNC did question Mr. Cromartie regarding our concerns (see minute 5.00 of the 10-5-2017 interview). In preparation for the JNC's December 11, 2017 interviews - VolusiaExposed.Com sent JNC Commissioner Mr. Greene our November 27, 2017 letter in which we repeated our concerns regarding Mr. Cromartie - and in addition - we documented concerns attached to applicants J. Ryan Will and Steven de Laroche. The JNC addressed the concerns attached to Mr. Will and Mr. de Laroche - but did not - this time - address our concerns attached to Mr. Cromartie. Mr. Will and Mr. de Laroche did NOT make the nominee list that was forwarded to the governor's office for the judicial appointment. Mr. Cromartie did make the nominee list.(see above right) |
2-24-2016 Interview Judicial Nominating Commission Meeting February 24, 2016 David Cromartie
In February 2016 - Prosecutor David Cromartie interviewed in front of the local Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). The JNC was tasked with forwarding the (6) six best candidates to Governor Rick Scott - so he could appoint our next circuit court judge. The local JNC opted NOT to forward Cromartie's name to the governor's office. VolusiaExposed.Com suspects that the rationale for the JNC's decision not to forward his name - can be found within minutes 6:55 and 8:50 - 11:45 of the above video recording of his JNC interview. 10-05-2017 Interview |
