March 25, 2011
Florida: Today Governor Rick Scott announced the appointment of Anthony Tatti to the Fifth Circuit Court. Tatti will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Stephen Rushing.
Of the appointment, Governor Scott said, "As someone who has both defended and prosecuted the most serious of criminal cases, Tony has demonstrated both dedication to public service and respect for the rule of law. Tony’s experience on both sides of the courtroom give him a unique understanding of the impact of decisions from the bench. I am confident he will appropriately consider all cases before him in a principled and judicially conservative manner."[1]
Tatti has served as an assistant state attorney in the circuit since 1988. Before that, he spent three years as an assistant public defender.
The term Tatti was appointed to will expire in December of 2012. Because of this, he must run for the seat in the November 2012 election if he wishes to continue serving.[2]
