Police investigating allegation that WI Supreme Court Justice David Prosser choked a fellow justice

Two Wisconsin Agencies Now Investigating Alleged Judge-on-Judge Assault

Dane County, Wisconsin Sheriff Dave Mahoney released a statement today indicating that he has “agreed to investigate” whether Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser grabbed fellow Justice Ann Walsh Bradley by the neck. Additionally, the Wisconsin Judicial Commission released a brief statement stating that “(t)he Commission authorized an investigation of the incident at its meeting on Friday, June 24, 2011.” Shortly after news broke of this alleged incident on Saturday, right-wing bloggers leapt to Prosser’s defense, claiming that if Bradley were telling the truth, she would have reported the incident sooner. The Judicial Commission’s statement, however, confirms that this incident was reported well before it became public.

1. If weiner had to go, this violent judicial misfit damn sure better be on his way out.

It is not apples and oranges. He actually reached out and grabbed her. She should have tased him in a spot he will always remember.

2. If it was reported before, why was it not investigated??

I believe he may be suffering from some sexual problem and having trouble working it out............

3. Sexual harassment ??

It's always a power issue... Add that, plus anger management.

No way this shouldn't be front page news.

4. No, I meant just sexual problems that he is trying to work through

5. Heh...

So much for the trying part, eh?

6. There have been reports that this group does not get along

for a long time. Its a serious problem. I don't know how they're going to get to the bottom of this when its her word against his, short of having cameras on them all the time. I don't doubt that he would do something like this, but he's going to deny it.

It almost seems like they need a group therapist working with them or something. :shrug:

7. according to reports earlier there were witnesses

8. But I wonder if they fall along party lines.

I'm just afraid that he will try to discredit other justices he has a party conflict with.
