Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis directed the U.S. and the Sunshine State flags to be flown at half-staff Wednesday at the Miami-Dade Courthouse and Miami City Hall, along with the State Capitol in Tallahassee.
DeSantis said the order is a mark of respect for former Third District Court of Appeal and Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mario P. Goderich, a pioneering Cuban American jurist who died at age 89.
