This dolt of a judge makes rulings against case law so to benefit state Defendants. She rolls the dice with her rulings thinking she won't be appealed at the 5th DCA. It's 50/50 that her ruling will be appealed, she's banking on it won't be. She does this so the Plaintiff (an individual) has to spend additional money for the appeal. Wasting money that can be used elsewhere for the case. The Plaintiff appealed her ruling to the 5th DCA and it was reversed because it was existing case law. This is a terrible judge.
