All Rise!!! Judge Seidlin Says He's Ready for TV

Composite of Judge Siedlin and other TV judgesTMZ has learned Judge Larry Seidlin's dream is to become a judge on a TV courtroom show.

The endlessly entertaining Florida judge who is hearing the Anna Nicole case has had a TV show on the brain for months. Sources say Judge Seidlin has even made a demo tape of cases that were recorded in his courtroom.

Judge Seidlin, whose name is extremely similar to Judge Judy Sheindlin, graduated from night law school in New York. Seidlin was a taxi driver who worked his way through school. At 28, he was the youngest judge ever to be elected in Broward County. The 56-year-old judge is married with a young daughter.

3. The man can't stay focused long enough to get through a case in just a 30 minute or an hour tv show. After this case, he will be lucky to remain a judge.

4. Judges Judy and Wapner are/were kick-ass. So is Siedlin, IMHO. Also, notice he wasn't trying to get a show before this sad, unnecessary case (Daniel and Anna should both still be alive) ever came into his courtroom. And he's real focused on the fact that he's going to have paternity testing done immediately.

5. He keeps saying that he wants to 'move things along' yet goes on these stupid tangents on jogging, his life, etc.

I've never heard of such an unprofessional judge.

Well, wait a minute......there was that one judge who was caught using the penis pump during trials. Maybe he was worse.

8. this judge should have been removed from the beginning. He has his own agenda. RIP Anna, this man is prolonging the trail, etc for his own gain. May he rote in hell with her mother, Larry B who says he is the father, and his attoney who could not wait a day after the death of her son to become news whores, like it or not, she trusted Howard Stern, give his the baby, her body, and he will do good by her. No one, No one, can stop someone from doing drugs, if that were true, rehabs would be full, and no one would be addicted. Why write a will if a fool can come and decide what he/she wants, and ignor your wishes. News people, judge, courts, attorneys, ET, E, TMZ, all of you let her die. You sure weren't there for her when she was alive. Let it go. Send that poor excuse of a mother home to where ever she came from,Hell I believe, and all the money grubing media whores home. Give Dannylynn to Stern, monitored by the child protective services. Shame on all of you.....

10. WHAT THE HELL!!! I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY LET THIS MORAN GET WHAT HE WANTS!!! THIS SO CALLED JUDGE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO A APE ZOO!!!

POOR ANNA, TO THINK SHE HAS TO RELY ON THIS IDIOT TO MAKE A DECISION WHERE HER BODY WILL BE BURIED.

THIS COURTROOM FIASCO TODAY IS NOT ABOUT WHO IS DANNIELYNN'S DADDY!!! IT'S ABOUT ANNA BEING BURIED NEXT TO HER SON! HER GREEDY MOTHER SHOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. YOU OLD FOOL!!! NOW YOU COME AROUND WITH THOSE CROCODILE TEARS. MAYBE IF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YOUR DAUGHTER, SHE WOULD HAVE NOT TURNED TO PEOPLE LIKE HOWARD THAT YOU CLAIM WERE BAD FOR HER LIFE!!! YOU STUPID FOOL!!! I HOPE THAT BABY IS GIVEN THE CHANCE TO BE WITH A REAL FAMILY THAT WILL CARE FOR HER AND NOT THE MONEY SHE WILL HAVE!

GOD BLESS ALL THESE DUMB*** PEOPLE!.

11. Christ! Who the hell DOSE NOT want to profit off her death? Bunch of greedy fucks. But then again I guess Anna was.......................

Posted at 12:49PM on Feb 20th 2007 by I hate greedy people

12. This judge is a joke! Is there not ONE person who isn't trying to profit in some manner off the death of this tragic creature? The judge doesn't KNOW she was married to Marshall? And that he's dead?!?!?!?! OMG someone call for a mistrial on the basis of the judge is a complete MORON!

Posted at 12:50PM on Feb 20th 2007 by katniccass

13. Is there ANYONE connected w/ this case that ISN'T trying to profit from this tragic creature's death? This judge is a joke. He doesn't know about Marshall being Anna's husband? And that he's dead?!?!?! This is worse than OJ.

14. When I first looked at these court proceedings I thought of the OJ Simpson trial, in particular, Judge Ito - and now this - unbelievable - I think another judge, who doesn't revel in the limelight (is that possible) should be assigned to this case - perhaps not televising this would discourage this and focus attention on the matters on hand - most importantly - the welfare of that child - Who is caring for this baby in the meantime and I am assuming she has had a complete check up to determine if any medical attention is needed.

15. I hate this judge..

I'm a former judge and his conduct is so contrary to the Rules of evidence.

no rhyme or reason for his rulings. He is going to get voted out.

the accent is so grating.
