VIDEO: Hamilton County Juvenile Judge Tracie Hunter Dragged Off to Jail Literally
A jury convicted Hunter of unlawful interest in a public contract after she was accused of helping her brother keep his county job by mishandling a confidential document. With a courtroom packed with supporters and many more who stood outside of the proceedings Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Dinkelacker dispensed Hunters punishment. At least one of Hunters supporters was arrested at the courthouse after trying to intervene when deputies attempted to take Hunter into custody. Im telling you, Black people [in Cincinnati] are not going to take [Hunter going to jail] lightly, Kearney said. The judge refused to allow defense lawyers to poll the jury after announcing the verdict.
