It looks like the judges worked through their deadlock... by turning to the AO's published guidance which permits for a revote and if that doesn't result in a majority, then the Chief Judge gets to choose. It's unclear whether the revote broke up the logjam or whether the Judge Altonaga had to make the selection, but either way, it's over.
Congratulations to Ryon McCabe, a really good guy. We had cases against each other when we were both new lawyers (he was an AUSA and I was an AFPD). He was also honorable and is a smart guy. He's been in private practice for some time now and McCabe Rabin. The FBI will do its background check, which usually takes a few months, and then he will sit in West Palm Beach.
Your welcome.

That tie only extends about an inch below his belt. True Trump Tie is at least 4-6 inches longer.
ReplyDeletethe court to nonprosecutors drop dead
ReplyDeletebased on what you wrote did the chief judge break the tie?
ReplyDeletePeople are saying the chief judge voted twice.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Robert's Rules, in a ballot vote, the Chair votes. But, the Chair cannot "break a tie" because the Chair cannot vote twice. If the Chair voted twice that is a problem.
ReplyDeleteSo itll be 11 prosecutors out of 16 Magistrates?
