United States Seventh Circuit
BRACY v. SCHOMIG, 99-4318, 99-4319, 99-4320, 99-4345
The conviction of a prosecution-minded judge for taking bribes does not imply that the judge had any affection for criminal defendants or their lawyers such that the judge must have been acting against character when ruling in favor of the prosecution in cases where the judge was not bribed.
