Summary

Justice Pariente dissents, arguing that the trial judge should have recused herself under the binding precedent Domville because she was a Facebook "friend" of the attorney, and that Florida should adopt a strict rule requiring recusal in such circumstances. The dissent also critiques the majority's analogy between social‑media and traditional friendships and urges the Court to protect the appearance of judicial impartiality. The concurrence agrees with the majority’s result but urges judges to avoid Facebook altogether.
