poor judge!

Looks like Broward County Judge John "Jay" Hurley may want to keep a bottle of antibacterial soap at his bench when he presides over first appearance court.
When a Lauderdale Lakes man in bond court Tuesday morning said he missed a hearing because he was sick, the judge asked for medical documentation and was handed a pharmacy bag.
"OK, hold on a second, you got prescribed condoms?" Hurley said. "I wouldn't say that's being sick. We are not going to use that for an excuse, let's go to plan B."
But a second look into the bag yielded proof enough that the man was sick.
"This is what we call too much information," Hurley said. "Good Lord," he said while looking at the prescription bottles.
"Well there's no doubt he received medical treatment on that day," said Hurley, who ultimately decided to refer the case to Circuit Judge Sandra Perlman.
"There's a lot of things that need to be figured out and I don't want to be the person who figures it out," he said while reading the label of a prescription bottle.
Hurley excused himself to wash his hands.
"It was a bag full of venereal diseases," Hurley said once he returned.
