Florida Judge Elizabeth Scherer, known for presiding over the Parkland school shooting trial, announced Wednesday that she will resign on June 30.
Scherer, 46, did not provide a reason in her May 10 resignation letter to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican.
“I am writing to resign from my position as Circuit Judge for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit effective June 30, 2023. It has been a privilege to serve the people of the State of Florida as a member of the judiciary for over 10 years. Thank you for your consideration,” she wrote in her resignation letter obtained by WPLG Local10.
Scherer’s resignation comes one month after the Florida Supreme Court removed her from overseeing post-conviction motions due to the Justices’ opinion that she could not be fair to Randy Tundidor, who was convicted of murder in the 2019 killing of his landlord in Broward County….
