A Chicago-area judicial candidate now faces charges after she was fired
as a court staff attorney earlier this year for donning a robe and
hearing real cases on the bench.


The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said Friday in a statement
that Rhonda Crawford has been indicted on charges of felony official
misconduct and misdemeanor false impersonation.



Crawford is the Democratic candidate for an open county judgeship and was considered a shoo-in to win the Nov. 8 election.

Are there any other candidates in the most corrupt county in the nation?
As stated, she'll still win and will preside from her jail cell.

Is that in reference to the person not waiting to actually become a judge or the OP not waiting for you to post the story?

And be sworn in from a jail cell. Likely preside over hearings via CCTV from there too.

Right? Isn't there a court docket explaining which Judge would be presiding. Where was the judge that was supposed to be on the case?

Needs some Operation Greylord. But, that would never happen under Obama's DOJ.

This. Was there an insider that 'adjusted' the schedule to keep an actual judge from showing up?

The real judge was too hung over to show up and needed a fill-in.

According to Crawford's statement she sat in the judge chair with the real judge standing behind her and telling her exactly what to do.  Said she did not decide the cases, it was for training only.  She had already been elected as a judge but not taken the bench yet.

I'm not a lawyer obviously, but this actually sounds reasonable to me.
