Scott Walker's John Doe Case Stopped AGAIN !!! - At Least They Can't Destroy The Evidence... I Think

[Gothmog]

3. The 7th Circuit will have another crack at this ruling

The 7th Cir. has reversed this judge before in another political case

The appeals panel consists of Judges Diane Wood, William Bauer and Frank Easterbrook. Wood is the court's chief judge and was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1995; Easterbrook was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985; and Bauer was appointed by President Gerald Ford in 1974. Both Easterbrook and Bauer are former chief judges.

The same three appellate judges seven years ago reversed Randa in another criminal case with strong political overtones.

In April 2007, the panel ruled that state purchasing supervisor Georgia Thompson was wrongly convicted of making sure a state travel contract went to a firm linked to Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle's re-election campaign.

In that case, in which Randa sentenced Thompson to 18 months in prison, Wood called the evidence used to convict Thompson "beyond thin." The panel acted with unusual speed, ordering Thompson's immediate release from prison.
