Remember the two judges that were arrested for aiding and abetting illegal aliens evade ICE? Well, in a tiny spark of good judicial news, one of them, Hannah Dugan has been found guilty by a jury of her peers.
I guess it is an acquittal that cannot be overturned (?) so this is going to be appealed. This is on the heels of my Judges Gone Wild article.
"Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of a felony count of obstructing federal agents seeking to make an immigration arrest outside her courtroom, a precedent-setting case that has been closely watched nationally and drawn passionate protests.
"A jury of seven men and five women deliberated more than six hours before delivering a split verdict. They found the judge not guilty on a lesser misdemeanor charge of concealing a wanted person."

"MADISON, Wis. -- Defenders of a Wisconsin judge found guilty of felony obstruction for helping a Mexican immigrant evade federal officers raised alarms Friday about judicial independence and said they hope the conviction will be overturned on appeal."
