THE 18th JUDICIAL NOMINATING COMMISSION FORWARDS SIX (6) NOMINEES TO GOVERNOR DESANTIS Governor DeSantis Will Appoint One As A Circuit Judge |
October 4, 2024 |
On September 11, 2024 - VolusiaExposed.Com attended, and video recorded, the vetting / interview process of Florida's 18th Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). The 18th JNC interviewed thirteen (13) qualified candidates in order to fill the judicial vacancy caused by the retirement of Circuit Judge Nancy Maloney. VolusiaExposed wishes to extend our thanks to all of the 18th JNC members , they were all very professional and approachable. The JNC narrowed the list of judicial applicants to six (6) qualified judicial nominees. These nominees' were forwarded to Governor DeSantis for his final selection and appointment. (see right of web page) ---> As per Florida's Constitution, the appointee must run for re-election during the next election cycle, should he / she receive a challenger for the judicial seat. |
Based on what was heard, and what was discussed during the interview process, all of the nominees are qualified to serve as Brevard / Seminole newest circuit court judge. We invite our readers to review the video interviews of the nominees, as well as the nominees' redacted applications (see below videos).
Given the politics of Brevard County, neither the JNC , or Governor DeSantis, will be choosing this newest Circuit Court judge. In reality, this back door political selection has already been made by the "King maker" of Brevard County - the one and only - Sheriff Wayne "Lying" Ivey. Sheriff Ivey - a known liar (more on this shortly) - has a rather long history of "interfering" / "influencing" local politics - including judicial decisions, appointments, and elections. (see below linked article - as a supportive example) August 3,2022 FloridaToday.Com Judge candidate says Ivey offered to help secure appointment if she dropped out of race Given that Judicial Nominee Laura Moody is Sheriff Ivey's current Chief Legal Counsel, Moody is likely to secure this gubernatorial appointment. Then again, Ivey and DeSantis may go for a "twofer" - by appointing County Judge Aaron Peacock to the Circuit Court bench - and then appointing Moody to Peacock's open County Court seat. Either way - politics says, this appointment will go to either Moody or Peacock. In our OPINION - all four - Moody, Peacock, Ivey and DeSantis have the ethics that God gave to rattlesnakes. (we apologize, in advance, to all rattlesnakes - see the below related article). When Florida sheriffs can legally lie - "however false, malicious, or badly motivated the words may be," - what does that say about the over-all credibility of our local justice system?
