Jeb Bush Picks Familiar Face For New Court Position

Judge Charles Burton

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush has chosen a familiar face for a new circuit court position.

Bush named Chuck Burton to the position Wednesday. Burton stumbled onto the national stage as chairman of the Palm Beach County local canvassing board, squinting at butterfly ballots and hanging chads for weeks as the world watched.

Bush selected Burton over two other candidates nominated from the county: County Judge Debra Moses Stephens and lawyer Jerald Beer. Burton fills a new judicial post created by the Florida Legislature.

Circuit judges hear felony-level crimes such as rape or murder and civil cases in which the damages exceed $15,000.

1. The Showman!
his squinting was so ridiculous. He just got paid back for the show he put on to get * into office.

As a judge he should be an imbecile.
