Gone fishin' - our little fishing expedition may have hooked a big one. It's conjecture at this point, but there's no denying we've got a nibble.
It has to do with the public records request sent to BSO last week. The legal department got back to us today, but still couldn't provide an answer as to whether or not Lynn Feig-Rosenthal's property receipt from county jail will be released.
It turns out the jail property inventory form may contain information that's exempt from disclosure. They've consulted with the Attorney's General's Office for guidance, and will be conducting further research to see if all items can be released, or if redactions may be necessary to keep certain things confidential. BSO promised an answer by the close of business Wednesday.
All other questions were politely declined to be answered, including whether or not Feig-Rosenthal was booked in possession of a validly prescribed controlled substance which could cause impaired driving. So for now it's wait and see until Wednesday, unless the accused judge agrees to release all property information before things start to get ugly, just like when the mugshot was at issue. A call to attorney Brian Silber inquiring about a waiver was placed late today, so stay tuned ...
Swing and a miss! - Peter Weinstein took a turn at bat today for the home town heroes. He issued a widely covered statement Monday, a full six days after the third Broward judge was arrested for DUI. It turns out the 17th Circuit is a-ok, although the wisdom of sustaining yet another opportunity so late in the game to rehash credibility-busting judicial mishaps is being questioned by more than a few pundits. But hey, you can't knock a guy for trying. Check out the Sun Sentinel's coverage here, featuring the heading Trust Us, complete with a nifty montage of three judges' mugs.
