Inquiry Concerning a Judge, No. 13-25 Re: Andrew J. Decker, Iii

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the JQC’s findings of misconduct by Judge Andrew J. Decker, modified the recommended sanction to a six‑month suspension, public reprimand, and costs, and held that the findings were supported by clear and convincing evidence; a concurrence agreed with the sanction but disagreed with the majority’s rejection of the Charge 8 violation (Pariente, J., dissenting).
