Judge Wayne Culver of Sanford, FL; ethical troll

The state of Florida presented Wayne Eric Culver with a law license in 2001 after he graduated from Suffolk University School of Law.

The Judicial Qualifications Commission found Wayne guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to uphold the high standards of conduct expected of judges.
• Spewed forth intemperate and sarcastic comments during a hearing
• failed to provide even the minimum of due process required to the defendant
• Failed to conduct the legally required colloquy
• Failed to enter a signed judgment of guilt with the required findings as required by the Rules of Criminal Procedure
• Failed to advise the litigant of his right to appeal
• Unlawfully imposed three consecutive contempt sentences totaling 537 days in jail
• Wayne’s conduct was unnecessarily confrontational and escalated the disturbance and disruption instead of de-escalating and minimizing the disturbance of the court proceeding

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Wayne by gifting him with a complimentary 60-day suspension without pay from his judicial position.

FYI: It certainly appears that Wayne is of the opinion that “due process” is the means by which the grass in becomes moist in the a.m.

As we speak (ca. October 2022), Wayne practices his so-called brand of jurisprudence as a County Court Judge in Sanford, Florida.
