Federal Judge Postpones Sentencing for Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan Over Obstruction Conviction

Judge Lynn Adelman has delayed the sentencing of former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan while the court reviews a motion to vacate her felony obstruction conviction.The defense argues that the precedent used for her conviction regarding an immigrant's arrest has been invalidated by a recent federal appeals court ruling.Dugan previously resigned her position following the December verdict, which stemmed from her actions helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade federal immigration agents at a courthouse.Prosecutors contend that the facts of the case remain distinct from the Virginia ruling and continue to support the original guilty verdict.
