Watch this judge brutally berate a woman in a wheelchair. The woman died. The judge has quit.
A Broward County circuit judge delivered a blistering, arm-waving, face-palming, tongue-lashing to a frail, out-of-breath woman - pushed into court in a wheelchair - who was facing misdemeanor charges following a family feud. Three days later, the defendant died. Judge Merrillee Ehrlich has resigned, although it is unclear when that resignation was provided and when it becomes effective.

The courtroom rant last Sunday was so over the top that Broward's elected public defender, Howard Finkelstein, demanded that Judge Merrilee Ehrlich be banned from the criminal courthouse. "It is not appropriate for anyone to endure that kind of treatment,"

I Just Found Out Why Nobody Wants To Hire Me
Dear Liz, I finally got fed up with my job and started job hunting. Six weeks went by and I didn’t get one response. I was really surprised because I know my skills are current and it’s not that easy to find people with my experience. Finally I heard from a recruiter. He was really helpful. He said, “Are you getting much response from employers?” I said, “No, honestly I’m not.” He said, “I showed your resume to two of my clients.
