Your Honor, from the beginning of this case, I have watched you preside over your courtroom with dignity, fairness, intelligence and integrity. There were many times you could have lost your patience with the defense and their shenanigans, but never once did that happen. It was with great sadness today, that I learned that you had stepped down. I understand your reasoning, and the sacrifice you have made to insure that appellate issues in the future do not let the guilty out of prison. You, my good man, have so much to be proud of.
You will be sorely missed by all here at Websleuths, and residents in Florida, your Honor. You are much loved and revered, Sir.
