Judge Pleads Guilty To DUI

It appears aldermen aren't the only ones having problems with DUIs. Cook County Judge Sheila McGinnis pleaded guilty yesterday to DUI charges stemming from a May 2008 incident in Tinley Park. McGinnis hit another vehicle stopped at a red light and refused a field sobriety test; no one was hurt in the crash. While she faced up to a year of jail, she was simply fined $1,000, put on 18-months probation, and was reelected in November.

It would be interesting to see what her record is for punishing any DUI's that come before her in court.
She got off easy, I wonder if she is that easy on offenders.

Helps if you're Daley's cousin.
