    Good riddance.

    The turn-em-loose judge who released an alleged predator who randomly sucker-punches people left the bench Friday — just days after the bizarre ruling — and is moving to Florida.

    Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Matthew Sciarrino retired with more than a year-and-a-half left on his mayoral appointment, two days after setting free the deranged suspect accused of socking Dulche Pichardo of Crown Heights in the face and breaking the 57-year-old mother-of-three’s jaw.

    Prosecutors on Wednesday upgraded the charges against Franz Jeudy, 33, in the unprovoked March attack to bail-eligible second-degree assault and requested $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond.

    However, the veteran Republican judge rejected the request.

    Sciarrino also faced heat last year after he ignored a prosecutor’s request to keep a career criminal in jail and, instead, granted bail in an attempted murder case.

    The suspect, Ousmane Diallo , then allegedly wounded two people in a shooting after being freed on $500,000 bond, according to authorities.

    Pichardo’s son Raul Gomez told The Post Sciarrino can’t flee to Florida fast enough.

    “Good riddance, honestly,” he said.

    “Hopefully the next judge will be wiser and less ridiculous in his decisions. . . . Hopefully they appoint better judges, although I’m skeptical that will happen.

    “I think [Sciarrino] made a great decision” to retire, Gomez added.

    “He should be out of law. People like him have no business being in Brooklyn court – it’s absurd he got into such a high position.”

    The 24-year-old bartender also ripped the state’s soft-on-crime bail laws, adding his mom is in “shock that Jeudy is free.

    “She’s very upset because she thinks that there’s a possibility that he could do it again, especially given that he’s been doing it so many times,” said Gomez.

    Jeudy was arrested for two other random punches – one on a law enforcement officer in 2018 and the other on a security guard in 2019, sources said.

    He was charged with misdemeanor assault in both cases. The charges were later dismissed because Jeudy, who has an apparent history of schizophrenia, was found unfit to stand trial, prosecutors said.

    Sciarrino’s retirement and exodus south had been planned for months, according to friends and neighbors.

    A court spokesperson said he filed his retirement papers in January and insisted “has nothing to do with the bail decision in this case.”

    Sciarrino on Friday said he followed state law when releasing Jeudy, telling The Post, “you can’t set bail on someone” who “is a not flight risk.”

    He also described his nearly two-decade career behind the bench as “wonderful” and insisted the retirement decision had nothing do with past controversial rulings.

    Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Queens Democrat who backs tougher bail laws, said he’s happy Sciarrino is leaving New York.

    “Good riddance to this soft-on-crime judge!” he said. “We need judges with the backbone to put bad guys behind bars, not ones that let out the entire world and then flee to Florida, where the laws are tougher.”
