Judge Orders Attorneys to Sit in the Corner

In a high-profile murder case that gets more theatrical with each hearing, a Miami-Dade County judge on Wednesday ordered defense attorney Ellis Rubin and his partner to sit in a corner of a courtroom and write letters of apology to the lead prosecutor for allegations of misconduct they have made against her.

As if the schoolhouse-style reprimand wasn't surreal enough, Circuit Court Judge Rosa Rodr�guez issued the order during a hearing in which prosecutors sought permission to have doctors cut into the shoulder of the defendant in the case to retrieve a bullet now pivotal in the case.
