SANFORD – Circuit Judge John Galluzzo did the unexpected on Wednesday: He barged into a hearing being conducted by another judge, took control, told a dozen criminal defense attorneys that their clients would not get a chance to argue for bail and then left.

"Have a good afternoon," he told them. "I've made my ruling."

Defense attorneys were outraged. Their clients were being held without bond — some had already been in jail more than 24 hours — and would spend another night behind bars.
