Background: Past posts on this issue
- State Supreme Court Justice on Sexual Predators (CONFIRMATION)
- I first posted on August 3, that the Chief Justice made what I and others believe to be unethical comments to (I believe) the Milwaukee County Chief’s of Police Association regarding Ch. 980 committed sexually violent persons.
This was later confirmed by Kevin Fisher on WISN (audio included).
- Chief Justice Abrahamson & Sexual Predator Placement
- Franklin Alderman Steve Olson has been trying to get answers from the Chief Justice. Post includes Alderman Olson’s comments and website link as well as more audio from Kevin Fisher on WISN. Both men are being stonewalled.
- Updates on Milwaukee’s Sexual Predator fight
- On Aug. 19, still being stonewalled.
- Are Judges Unaccountable?
- Aug. 24 and Abrahamson’s office still refuses to answer questions from elected officials about the unethical comments she has made.
- Abrahamson still silent
- On Sept. 7, after several emails with no response, Alderman Olson resorted to old fashion snail mail, he wrote a letter to the Chief Justice to try to get a response that way. As of today, 10 days later, still no answer.
- I have filed an Open Records Request
- On September 19, I filed an Open Records Request to get any records, paper or electronic, regarding Abrahamson’s meeting with law enforcement officials during the time period when I know the speech took place. I also included a copy of the request for all to see.
- Chief Justice has nothing to say
- On October 6 I reported that Chief Justice Abrahamson answered my Open Records Request by simply stating that she has “no records responsive to the request”. I posted this the same day that she heard oral arguments on the Shawn Schulpius case that I believe deals precisely with the inappropriate comments she made. I also posted audio of the hearing.
- More on Chief Justice Abrahamson’s comments
- On October 7, Kevin Fisher was on WISN radio and gave an update on this story, including actions taken by Alderman Olson and myself. You can listen to the audio on this post.
