Judge Hannah Dugan's illegal immigrant escape case heads to jury for ruling

The obstruction charges against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan are in the hands of a federal jury after the four-day trial in the illegal immigrant escape case concluded in a federal court on Thursday.

The 12-person jury will decide whether to find Dugan guilty on two obstruction charges after she allegedly helped an illegal immigrant and his lawyer evade federal immigration officers by letting them exit her courtroom out of a non-public back door. The jury received the case shortly after 3 p.m. Eastern time, the same day the defense rested its case and both sides presented their closing arguments.
