I can only hope that Judge Dennis Murphy will come back has one of the poor unfortunate long suffering animals to find themselves in Yonisley Garcia, illegal slaughter house. Shame on you Judge Murphy your lack of understanding of human decency is apparent once again.

Such an unfair judge, if he does not like you he will rule against you . He has only his own divorce and alimony issues on his mind. Incompetent and arrogant . Heaven forbid you need him to allow for a DNA motion prepare yourself as he will deny it. Find a way to recruse if you can and make sure you file it with in ten days of his prejudice denial or incorrect ruling. If you unfortunately end up in his court room it's going to be a long road ahead of you with lots of bumps.

Judge Murphy is the best criminal judge In Miami-Dade County. He is extremely fair and knows the law.

I've been doing this since 1985, have done this work as a prosecutor, attorney in private practise and as an Assistant Public Defender, and I know whereof I speak.

Best criminal judge in Miami-Dade County. Fair, knows the law, not afraid to make unpopular decisions (but decisions that are nonetheless right). Does not buy into the political game that plagues the Miami-Dade judiciary. Above all things, he is polite and respectful to all who appear before him. He has ruled in my favor, he has ruled against me, but he has always treated me well. Being polite and professional to attorneys goes a long way, judges. Take a cue from Dennis Murphy.

He let Donte Stallworth slide. 30 days in jail for killing a pedestrian? He lied to the police and the police report indicates Stallworth said "he hit the man lying in the road," yet had time to flash his lights before hitting him. Donte is a liar and a scoundrel with big bucks.
