After seniors, high-risk individuals, health-care workers, first responders, and school workers are protected
The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is asking Gov. Ron DeSantis not to forget private lawyers and their clients when the courts become a priority for the COVID-19 vaccine.
FACDL President Mitchell Stone urges DeSantis in a February 1 letter to prioritize “all those who participate in the criminal justice system, including all attorneys, judges and defendants.”
Stone posted the letter through the regular mail, and says it’s too early to expect a response.
The letter is also addressed to Department of Corrections Secretary Mark Inch and Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees.
