Or Judge Murphy: We Can't Have Both Which One Will Soon Be Leaving The Courtrooms Of Brevard County? The Florida Judicial Qualification Commission recently filed formal charges against Brevard Circuit Court Judge John C. Murphy for the fiasco that transpired in his courtroom on June 2, 2014. June 2, 2014 Many of our readers will remember the Murphy fiasco - whereas, Judge Murphy verbally threatened, and apparently engaged in a physical confrontation with a public defender, due to the public defender's refusal to waive his clients' U.S. Constitutional right to a "speedy trial". However, Judge Murphy was not done in his assault on the U.S. Constitution - after his physical altercation with the public defender. Without the public defender being present within the courtroom, Judge Murphy proceeded in obtaining speedy trial waivers from several criminal defendants. In short, further violating these citizens' U.S. Constitutional right to legal representation. (Sixth Amendment - U.S. Constitution) |

An Apology Anger Management Moved To The Civil Docket In our opinion, immediately after Judge Murphy's assault on the sixth amendment, and even before the 6th Amendment could pick itself off the court room floor, Judge Murphy, and Chief Judge John M. Harris started a "damage control" campaign. This damage control, in our opinion, was to give some cover to the seriousness of Judge Murphy's misconduct. Interestingly, Judge Murphy did not even issue his apology to the citizens of Brevard county, until after he was granted the ability to return to work. Judge Murphy also thanked Chief Judge Harris for his support. In his June 3, 2014 press release, Judge Harris assured the citizens of Brevard county that Judge Murphy's alleged misconduct was an "isolated event", and would not be tolerated. We (VolusiaExposed.Com) believe Judge Harris is sincere in his assurances that the events of June 2nd were "isolated", and would not be "tolerated" within the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. However, our belief in Judge Harris' assurances is not a positive thing, and here is why. |
