Veteran Florida Judge Lawrence L. Korda has resigned from the bench, three months after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for smoking pot in a park. Korda, who had been on a voluntary paid leave since April, gained national attention when he briefly presided over the paternity fight for the late tabloid icon Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter. The Miami-Dade state attorney's office said it will drop the drug charge if Korda stays clean during six months of random drug tests.

Veteran Broward Circuit Judge Lawrence L. Korda has resigned from the bench, three months after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for smoking pot in a Hollywood, Fla., park.
“It has been my honor to serve the court and the state for over 30 years,” Korda, 59, wrote in his June 11 letter to Gov. Charlie Crist. The Florida judge was first elected to the bench in 1978.
