http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/...filiate.56.jpg  James Herard   BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE      Accused Dunkin' Donuts robber responds to judge by barking  James Herard may not have a soul, as he reportedly told Broward Sheriff's deputies, but he certainly has a strange sense of humor.  While standing before First Appearance Judge John Hurley Friday afternoon, the alleged gunman behind a string of armed robberies last week responded not in English or Ebonics, but with barks.  ''Ruff,'' was his answer when the Broward judge asked if he was James Herard.   ''Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff,'' he replied when Hurley asked if he understood the seriousness of the charges against him.  And ''ruff, ruff, ruff,'' was his reaction when Hurley told him he'd be held without bond on armed robbery and attempted murder charges.  Finally fed up, Hurley then told Herard that he considered his barks an acknowledgement of the judge's decision. It was apparently at least the second time Herard appeared before Hurley and spoke in barks.  Police say Herard, 19, was the gunman who shot five people during armed robberies of three South Florida Dunkin' Donuts last week, critically injuring one.  Herard has such a lengthy wrap sheet that the Public Defender's Office cannot represent him again, as there would be a conflict of interest should the court-appointed attorneys have to cross-examine former clients.  A recusal by the public defender means that the county may have to hire private attorneys on the suspects' behalf.   http://www.miamiherald.com/news/brea...ry/801202.html
