From the Miami Herald:
A Broward County circuit judge delivered a blistering, arm-waving, face-palming, tongue-lashing to a frail, out-of-breath woman — pushed into court in a wheelchair — who was facing misdemeanor charges following a family feud.
Three days later, the defendant died.
Judge Merrillee Ehrlich has resigned, although it is unclear when that resignation was provided and when it becomes effective. Watch this judge brutally berate a woman in a wheelchair. The woman died. The judge has quit. | Miami Herald
Vid clip at the length is under 3 minutes, but there are longer clips available. I would like to hope that Judge Erhlich was just having a particularly bad day, but I don't. There was no need to be abusive, and watching a clip last night, I began to feel intimidated even though I was sitting safely in my own home. That poor woman in the wheelchair was trapped and I think, beyond a point, terrified.
One embarrassment to the bench now gone. Good.
