Time to Retire! Due Process Violations Rampant and his Temperament is not conducive to justice. He is impatient and takes a position before hearing the facts. He's coming back to Duval in 2024. We had fingers crossed he was retiring. He is known for Ex Parte Communications and his JA is just like him. Dreadful to try to coordinate scheduling. Report him to Chief Judge.

the state attorney and public defender handle all negotiations. This judge has denied extensions when the defense doesn't receive discovery until a day or 2 days before trial. He pushes cases through to sentencing with no regardless of reason.

James Daniel is rude,impatient violates Due Process, does not Follow FL Statutes, outwardly bias, allows perjury, refuses to sanction for perjury, ignores fraud upon the court, can't admit he's wrong, turns to bailiff and rolls his eyes when Witnesses are speaking.

A clearly unhappy person who has become the Whiner-in-Chief. He's cantankerous and unprofessional. It's a shame really. He used to be relatively decent. Such wasted potential.

A truly terrible human being. Has no business being on the bench. He has an awful demeanor, treats everyone like garbage, and whines like a petulant child. Without question, the worst judge in the 4th judicial circuit. There is not a close second.

It is incomprehensible how Judge James Daniel could sentence Marissa Alexander, a battered woman with two restraining orders against her batterer, and who fired a WARNING SHOT into a ceiling in self-defense, it is unbelievable that Judge Daniel cannot release this woman into her own custody without an electronic shackle and without astronomical monthly fines for her own home detention.

If Judge Daniel is too blind or too fearful to defy the racist infrastructure of Florida's judiciary and politics, perhaps he can be replaced with a judge truly responsive to ALL the women and men of Florida.
