The committee picking finalists for the job left open by the death of Scott Polodna, a state circuit judge in Osceola County, has made its choices, and they include a lawyer who prosecuted Casey Anthony and an Orange County judge.
They are Linda Drane-Burdick, a former executive with the State Attorney’s Office in Orlando and one of the prosecutors in the Casey Anthony case; Orange County Judge Tanya Wilson, who’s been on the bench since 2014; Orlando attorney Thomas Sommerville and Windermere lawyer Thomas Tukdarian.
Gov. Rick Scott will make the final decision on who will succeed Polodna, who died of lung cancer in December after ten years on the bench.
The committee picking the finalists, the Judicial Nominating Commission of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, narrowed the list from 15 applicants.
