Florida Judge quits after a defendant dies in her custody. She berated the defendant after she was asking for medication. |
A Florida judge resigns after she caught flack berating a defendant who later would die after a chronic illness.
Broward County judge Merrilee Ehrlich resigned on Friday after she was recorded berating Sandra Faye Twiggs who was having trouble breathing and died three days later.
Twiggs had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and needed her medication.
Twiggs died a day after being released from the county lockup.
Ehrlich isn't the only judge who had ethical issues. Claudia Robinson was out forced to resign after she faced ethical issues based on favoritism.
Ehrlich was elected in 2008 was about to retire in June. She decided to retire early to collect her pension.
She was berating individuals in the courtroom for years. Ehrlich got away with this stuff for years. Why couldn't the public recall this slime?
