CHICAGO (AP) An Illinois judge could be facing discipline after he mocked an attorney in comments he apparently did not realize were being broadcast live on YouTube.
Kimberly Foxx, State’s Attorney for Cook County in Illinois has already released a statement condemning the judge’s behavior, which she said is unacceptable and runs counter to the values of criminal justice system.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge William Raines was heard making disparaging comments about Jennifer Bonjean, a high profile civil rights lawyer, calling her appearance in court nuts and insane.
