An icon. 98 years old and was on the federal bench since 1970... one of the longest serving ever.
From Judge Moreno:
Judge King
died this morning. He was a great trial judge particularly in his first 4
decades of service. I tried several cases , including a murder trial in the
early 80s and can attest how fair he was pre trial and even at sentencing. He
was a great Chief Judge, got the buildings for Miami. Appointed by Nixon in
1970 he served as an active judge until he took senior status as soon as he was
eligible to help the court get a replacement in those busier days. He was no
longer
taking cases because of illness but served for 55 years. May he rest in peace.
