Back in August, Hillsborough County voters gave Judge Jared Smith the heave-ho less than a year after he made headlines for denying a teen access to an abortion, citing her grades.

He’s set to leave the bench in less than two weeks. But by then, he’ll have an even better job, thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

 

On Tuesday, DeSantis’ office released a list of three appointees to the new 6th District Court of Appeal.

Hmm, so the people rejected this judge and the appeal court over turned the judgement they gave and then desantis gives them a better job.
 

Strange days indeed.
