The Florida judge who oversaw the Parkland shooter’s capital murder trial last November has received a public reprimand from her state’s highest court for improper conduct, including showing bias against the defense throughout the trial.
In a formal notice on Monday, the Florida Supreme Court said it has approved a disciplinary commission’s recommendation that Judge Elizabeth Scherer be reprimanded for her actions that “gave the appearance of partiality to the prosecution,” including clashing with public defenders during the trial and embracing prosecutors on the case in the courtroom after the trial’s conclusion.
