HOWELL, MI  Ousted Livingston County District Judge Theresa Brennan will call the Livingston County Jail home for the next six months.

As ordered by visiting Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Paul Cusick, Brennan reported to the jail at 9 a.m., Friday, Jan. 24, to begin her sentence on a perjury conviction, the Livingston County Sheriff's Office confirmed.

Calling probation "wholly inadequate," Cusick sentenced Brennan, Jan. 17, to serve the jail term as well as 18 months probation and 200 hours community service.

She was given a week to report to the jail so she could get her affairs in order and so the jail could make necessary accommodations for having a former judge lodged in the facility.

Brennan is being housed in the jail like any other inmate and is not receiving special considerations at this time, Livingston County Undersheriff Jeffrey Warder said.

The jail has standard procedures in place that would modify her lodging arrangement should any issues arise given Brennan's former status as a judge, Warder said.

Teflon judges: They wield great power, but are tough to remove

Brennan pleaded guilty Dec. 3 to the felony perjury charge. Charges of misconduct in office and tampering with evidence were dropped as part of a plea agreement, the Michigan Attorney General's office said in a statement.

On Dec. 19, the state suspended her license to practice law.

The commission's complaint detailed how Brennan lied about her relationship with a Michigan State Police trooper, the lead detective in a double-murder case over which she presided.

The commission also accused Brennan of "failing to disclose her relationship with an attorney representing a litigant in a case over which she presided, failing to immediately recuse herself from hearing her own divorce case, tampering with evidence in her own divorce case and lying under oath," according to the Supreme Court's summary of the case.

The defendant in the murder trial, Jerome Kowalski, was sentenced to life in prison, but now faces a new trial this month.

An analysis by The Ann Arbor News/MLive explored how difficult it is to remove judges from office in Michigan. The review of a decade of JTC annual reports and 2018 voting records shows misbehaving judges are more likely to face a private scolding than removal.

Elections, too, are an unlikely avenue of ousting a sitting judge -- Brennan was re-elected twice despite multiple grievances filed against her.

These leftists just can't keep control of themselves.

Wonder if I can send care packages to a few of her fellow inmates.

For the win...........
