Judge Elizabeth Scherer of Florida's 17th Judicial Circuit submitted a letter of resignation to Gov. Ron DeSantis' office Wednesday afternoon, effective June 30.
The Florida judge who presided over the Parkland school shooter’s trial is leaving the bench, Court TV has learned.
"It has been a privilege to serve the people of the State of Florida as a member of the judiciary for over 10 years," Scherer said in the letter, which Court TV exclusively obtained. “During her service, Judge Scherer handled one of the most challenging cases in Broward County’s history. She did so in a professional and dignified manner. On behalf of the 17th Circuit, we wish Judge Scherer good health and prosperity in her future endeavors.”Scherer came under fire forhugging members of the prosecution team in the courtroom after the verdict.
Scherer told Court TV that her resignation is unrelated to the backlash over the Parkland case. She said she decided long before the Parkland trial began that she would resign at its conclusion.
