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.
