| Subject: Burn the statist bitch: Ohio juvenile court judge facing another trial Tue Jan 19, 2016 4:32 am | |
| CINCINNATI (AP) - A suspended juvenile court judge will go on trial a second time in southwest Ohio.
Jury selection is set to begin Tuesday in Hamilton County for Judge Tracie Hunter’s trial on charges including tampering with evidence, forgery and theft in office. A jury convicted her on one count and deadlocked on other charges in 2014.
A state appeals court Friday upheld her conviction for unlawful interest in a public contract, involving her brother’s job. Her attorney plans to take the case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
She was sentenced to six months in jail on the count, but her sentence has been on hold during her appeal.
Hunter, a Democrat, has called the prosecution a “political takedown” by the county Republican Party.
Her new trial likely will last several weeks.
