Wisconsin news looks like they won a court case where one conviction (cp) only equals one crime committed so it big for Wisconsin since they go from lifetime to 15 years

I am from Wisconsin so have been watching this case for a couple years now. I am really surprised it went this way. Small victories.
Arrested on a second charge of inappropriate relationship with a student, this teacher is still innocent until proven guilty on either of the two charges, right? It will probably be easier to prosecute him since his bail is now $875,000.

Since I am unloading here is a great example of our judicial system.
The judge that sentenced me had been having an affair with a Prosecuting attorney, had children by this attorney, denied they were his children. And all of this happened while he was married to another woman.
This bible thumping narcissist hypocrite was also the chief justice of the court until the attorney filed a lawsuit against him for child support and he still denied the children were his until he had to submit to a DNA test.
All of this came out in the local newspaper. When it was all said and done the worst that happened to the judge, well he was removed as chief justice but stayed on as a judge in the court.
When I wanted my attorney to get the judge to recuse himself my attorney said he would not do that, he did not want to piss off the rest of the judges.
Today this judge is retired from the bench and has a private law practice. And that’s the rest of the story.
I have add this to my above comments.
The former Judge who I wrote about is now part of my former attorneys legal team.
It’s not specifically talking about persons on the registry, but The Guardian has reported on Florida’s prosecution of voters, the questionable and confusing registration process, and the intimidation this causes for all voters. I feel this deeply, and I’ve been too frightened to vote since DeSantis began this witch hunt, even though my adjudication was withheld. The end result of these arrests is disenfranchisement by fear and intimidation. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/19/florida-voter-registration-voter-fraud-formerly-incarcerated
[Note: Your Moderator, while aiming to remain non-partisan, notes that the Governor has publicly taken credit for voting-related arrests].

Worth reading
That is a great read, so true. I have always been amazed, that despite all the research, we have politictions who need to maintain and further their careers on the backs of those on the registry.
