Judge Mardi Cohen Suspended For Bullying Her Opponent

The Florida Supreme Court ordered a 10-day suspension WITHOUT PAY for Broward County Judge Mardi Levey Cohen.

She was disciplined for accusing her 2022 election opponent Kaysia Earley, Esq. of fraud to smear her name and gain votes without evidence and reported a church where her opponent attended to the IRS to challenge its tax-exempt status. Judge Cohen tried to intimidate her opponent and supporters and sent the church a copy of the complaint with a false return address of “IRS EO Classification,” suggesting that the correspondence was from the IRS itself. The court also said it would publicly reprimand her as well. Cohen “won” the election by 324 votes.
