When Judges Help Illegal Immigrants Escape Arrest and Deportation

An indictment is just one side of the story, a narrative of events laid out by prosecutors. As the old saying goes, “A prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.” With that said, if the events occurred as described in the affidavit of criminal complaint against circuit court judge Hannah Dugan are accurate, then she committed obstruction of justice and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, and it’s extremely difficult to envision an alternate interpretation of the known facts that would exculpate Judge Dugan.
