From Judge to Chief Prosecutor, one has to hope she will do something to clean up the misconduct in the office.
Hope she is confirmed. Perfect place for Judge Fajardo Orshan.
I like that pick. She'll be a breath of fresh air.
Will Orshan stick up for prosecutors who are bullied and banned by judges? Or cower?
Inspired choice!
Judge Fajardo is a great Judge! If chosen she will truly be missed in the 11th Judicial District of Miami-Dade County.
