Longtime Milwaukee federal judge Rudolph Randa, whose tough sentences and rulings on the Archdiocese of Milwaukee bankruptcy and the John Doe investigation of Gov. Scott Walker's campaign thrust him into the spotlight in recent years, has died.

.....................................




Randa once said that "as a member of the Catholic Church, if you abide by the rules of the Catholic Church, abortion is wrong."

In September 2014, a federal appeals court overturned Randa's ruling that blocked a secret probe into Gov. Scott Walker's campaign, sending the issue back to the Wisconsin courts. That spared prosecutors the prospect of paying damages to targets of the investigation, which was ultimately shut down by Wisconsin courts..........................
