Our previous coverage of Sean Conway's bar issue and proposed settlement is here (He agreed to settle his bar case for calling Judge Aleman on the Broward Blog an "evil, unfair witch" for a public reprimand). The Florida Supreme Court didn't accept the settlement with the bar, asking if Conway's speech was protected by the First Amendment.

Where was Haddad to champion Conway's cause? Conway's brief was submitted by another lawyer -- whatever happened to the guy that called the case a piece of shit?
ReplyDeleteHis speech should be protected by the First Amendment. BTW, thanks for posting the brief.
