HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- A judge who had a secondary role in recent Anna Nicole Smith proceedings was cited on charges of smoking marijuana in a city park, police said Monday.
Lawrence Korda was smoking marijuana while sitting under a tree at Stanley Goldman Park on Sunday, police said. Three officers who were doing training there caught Korda and field-tested the joint, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The judge was not arrested. He was given a misdemeanor citation to appear in court.A telephone message left by The Associated Press at the judge's chambers after hours Monday was not immediately returned.The fight over control of Smith's body began in Korda's courtroom.It ended up being heard by Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin, who drew national attention not only because the case involved an over-the-top celebrity, but because of his relentless one-liners and tearful announcement of the decision. Korda later heard brief arguments in a related case, seeking to determine the biological father of Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn.
