Sarasota Circuit Judge Harry Rapkin, the latest judge to have handled Smith's case, said Friday he was not at fault for not putting Smith in jail when the unemployed mechanic failed to pay court costs and fines in December.

There's no "debtor's prison" in Florida and Smith wouldn't have been held simply for not paying a bill, the judge said.

He should have been held for PAROLE VIOLATION!

They are too busy going after Rush Limbaugh to bother with minor details like parole violations.

The judge is at fault, and he protests too loudly.
The reason the culprit never appeared in front of the judge is that the judge refused to schedule Smith for a court appearance.
What a weak suck excuse of a judge and a human this judge is.
Does anyone know of judges are elected in Florida or if they are appointed?
I want to write Jeb Bush if they are appointed.
