The investigative panel of the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission has called for the state Supreme Court to publicly reprimand Osceola Circuit Judge John Beamer over his alleged failure to issue timely rulings.

Andrew Berman, an ethics expert and partner at Young, Berman, Karpf & Karpf in Miami who is not involved in the matter, stated that “justice delayed is justice denied.”
