MIAMI — A Miami-Dade County judge faced a Solomonic choice:
Should he donate $3 million in “excess funds” from the legal settlement in the collapse of a Surfside condominium tower to a memorial honoring the 98 people who died? Or, should he give that money to their families and other survivors of the tragedy?
On Friday, Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman chose the latter solution, saying it was “their money” and “their choice.”
