Clearwater, FL - Judge Patricia Muscarella found herself unexpectedly on trial yesterday in a Pinellas County courtroom.
In a hearing to consider a motion to dismiss election fraud cases brought by 2024 GOP primary Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Candidate Chris Gleason, against the incumbent Julie Marcus, Gleason turned the tables on the county's plans to be done with the cases which could bring to light alleged massive corruption in Pinellas County's SOE office.
The court had disallowed electronic devices, and there was no court reporter present.
In previous articles, The Miami Independent has detailed evidence discovered by Gleason and his colleagues showing the allegedly fraudulent creation of hundreds of thousands of 'vote by mail' ballots in Pinellas and Miami-Dade counties.

Judge Muscarella enabled PInellas County's legal request to seal ALL the evidence gleason provided in his election challenge.
Yesterday, the defense thought they had Gleason over a barrel and the court would dismiss the cases, with the evidence sealed forever.
They were wrong.
After Judge Muscarella appeared late to start the hearing, she immediately suggested the court would hear case 24-003995-CI (TO CONTEST ELECTION BASED ON FRAUD, OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT, ILLEGAL REQUESTING OF VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOTS, CONCEALMENT OF PUBLIC RECORDS, AND VIOLATION OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOTS) instead of 24-003717-CI (OR EMERGENCY INJUNCTION RELIEF TO ENFORCE FLORIDA PUBLIC RECORDS ACT DECLARATORY JUDGMENT TO CEASE ELECTION FRAUD AND REQUESET FOT IMMEDIATE HEARING).
In other words, the court wanted to dismiss the election fraud case based on no evidence, before hearing the case on how the evidence had been surpressed.
That's when the firewords started - Gleason said no.
Amidst a bunch of procedural back and forth, where Gleason held his own against the judge and the county attorneys Jared Kahn and Kelly Vicari, Gleason forced service on the judge of another complaint (seen below) to force Judge Muscarella's recusal and disqualification.
When Gleason produced the complaint to give to the judge, she replied, "I have to be served those."
"Can I serve them to you now?" Gleason asked.
"I don't know the law on that," Muscarella replied.
There was an audible gasp in the courtroom which was full of Gleason supporters.
In a previous hearing, Judge Muscarella allowed the county attorneys to inform her as to the law and how to proceed in the case.
"Perhaps you should ask opposing counsel for advice?" Gleason quipped.
Muscarella then accepted service directly from Gleason.
Attorney Kahn objected to all of this, and the Judge called a recess for a half hour while she disappeared to chambers.
During this period, Attorney Kahn approached pro se litigant Gleason and said, "I know you're playing quantum chess here, but we will give you no leeway on this." (paraphrase)
During the recess, the county attorneys were all smiles, but the smiles disappeared when the Judge returned and gave a copy of the served paperwork to all five of them to read.
It seems Gleason had done his homework and the Judge did not know how to proceed, so she continued both cases.
The smiles were gone from opposing counsel. It seems Gleason had lived to fight another day, and both cases were still in full force.
In addition, it is possible that Judge Muscarella will have to recuse as the complaint Gleason filed was filled with evidence of alleged judicial misconduct.
Truly a stunning day in the Pinellas courthouse.
