Description
Bringing relief to a constitutional crisis of lawyers too overburdened to adequately represent their clients, a Miami judge ruled 11th Circuit Public Defender Bennett Brummer may stop taking new third-degree felony cases beginning September 15. Stanford Blake, 11th circuit administrative judge of the criminal division, concluded in his September 3 order that "the evidence clearly establishes that PD-11 is in need of relief sufficient to ensure that the assistant public defenders are able to comply with the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct and carry out their constitutional duties."
