Broward Circuit Judge Matt Destry removed a photo from his Facebook page Timeline on Thursday after a complaint from a campaign opponent.
The photo depicted Destry standing between two lawyers — his re-election opponent Brian Greenwald and Greenwald’s campaign treasurer Matt Glassman.
The three men are smiling broadly.
The caption read, according to Greenwald,.. In the last frame, Judge Destry is pictured with Matt Glassman and Brian Greenwald, both of whom started out in his division as assistant public defenders.”
There are problems:
- The picture was taken six years ago at a Holiday party.
- The caption was incorrect, and
- The photo may violate the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct.
Both lawyers asked Destry today in writing to remove the photo, which for some bizarre reason, was posted on Wednesday. The judge complied with their request.
Why did Destry decide to post the photo Wednesday? Why did he put the misleading caption?
