Recently, lawyers have been asking, where's Laura Watson? She hasn't been handling a docket for a few days, but her well earned hiatus hasn't been spent idling by the pool. Watson's been busy indeed, with her JQC trial set to startthis Monday, February 10th at 10:00 AM, in Room 347.
But trial prep wasn't the only order of the day. The ever plucky Watson filed suit in Federal Court today, against the JQC as a body, its Director and individual members (except the laypeople), and her prosecutors. That's right, a whole bunch of judges just got sued. Click the links for the VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT,INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, AND DAMAGES, the corresponding exhibits, and MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION.
Courageous stuff, and hot off the presses. Take some time to scroll through, and check out the other pugnacious filings in the case so far here. It's hard to say what will be happening to Monday's trial date in light of today's action, or the outcome of the entire affair, but it seems today's developments are unprecedented, even for bonkers Broward County.
Stay tuned ...
