What’s Next for Farmer?

As Farmer awaits a disposition hearing, his future on the bench hangs in the balance. The suspension, effective at 11:59 p.m. on May 19, 2025, bars him from judicial duties without compensation. The FJQC’s final ruling could range from reinstatement with conditions to permanent removal, depending on the hearing’s outcome. For now, Broward County’s judiciary must navigate the fallout, with other judges likely stepping in to cover Farmer’s docket.

The case also serves as a cautionary tale for jurists nationwide. In a profession steeped in tradition, where black robes symbolize impartiality, Farmer’s foray into comedy underscores the risks of straying from decorum. As one Florida attorney, speaking anonymously, put it: “Judges aren’t stand-up comedians. They’re arbiters of justice. Farmer forgot that, and now he’s paying the price.”
