OK Gov.Scott, reinstate the good Sheriff with back pay.

I don’t know about the governor’s authority, other than his ability to remove a Sheriff from office if he is facing a criminal accusation. If he is acquitted, it impresses me as very hard for one elected official to strip another elected official of his office.

If he is acquitted, it impresses me as very hard for one elected official to strip another elected official of his office. The Florida state constitution allows only the governor to remove an elected official if they are charged with official misconduct and make an interim appointment. If the charges are dropped or if the person is found not guilty, they have to petition the governor for reinstatement. Usually the reinstatement takes only a stroke of the governors pen, unless an the prosecutor appeals the not guilty verdict.

I saw this on the local news this afternoon. I have been keeping up with this since he first was removed.
I am not completely sure he did it for second amendment reasons but he was wise to use that defense. No way those Florida rednecks were going to convict him.

Huh? How can a not guilty verdict be appealed by a prosecutor? Wouldn’t that amount to double jeopardy?

Already reinstated and back on the job. Don’t know about pay.

The Democrat modus operandi is to harness the legal system for political purposes with bogus charges. Even when you win, you lose, because it takes years of legal wrangling and thousands of dollars of judicial extortion.

The jury voted for the Sheriff as did the electorate.
They may not be so kind to the prosecutor.

Who pays the salaries for all the judges, clerks, janitors, and others who are involved on the other side of a case like this?

When you get taken for a ride by the judicial system it costs you tens or hundreds of thousands, and even if you win you don’t get any of it back.
