misconduct by the judge, but took no action. In a different case last year Judge Matthew Gary suffered a full reversal by the Third District Court of Appeal.
As in the Saunders case, in Seaton v. Seaton Gary also did not follow established law. After conducting his own
investigation and forensic analysis on a 20-year-old marriage certificate signature, Gary concluded that the
signature was not made by an extremely intoxicated person, as Patricia Seaton had claimed. The judge then
nullified a 17-year marriage so that Patricia would be deprived of all property, support and other rights associated
with a lawful marriage. The appellate court reversed Gary's decision, noting that the issues Gary had with Patricia's
credibility were irrelevant to determining whether the marriage was valid. Law Professor Blogs
