Cincinnati’s First Black Female Juvenile Court Judge Faces Jail Time After Sham Trial Exposes Racism

[AtomicUse]

Hunter, who earned her undergraduate degree from Miami University in 1988 and her Juris Doctorate from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1992, won election in 2010, stunning the Republican-led city by defeating GOP contender John Williams.

Williams and the GOP contested Hunter’s victory and a heated court battle and numerous appeals by the Hamilton County Board of Elections which refused to count more than 800 votes from majority Democrat and Black precincts, ensued.

Hunter then filed a federal lawsuit to have those voted counted.

While the court finally ordered those votes to be counted, election officials still certified Williams as the victor.

However, once the votes were counted, the election was overturned in Hunter’s favor.

The 18-month period proved pivotal because then-Gov. John Kasich appointed Williams to the bench and the state Supreme Court changed the rules giving Williams administrative authority over the court.

They cheated her out of office, then when she called thier bluff they tried to stall her out, and knew they we're about to get caught and literally changed the rules at the last minute. Then still railroaded her on court on fake charges using thier friends to get a conviction.

Got his mother in law to preside over an appeal of one of his opponents.
Keep thinking they play fair brehs.

Hunter’s conviction stems from an incident in which her brother, a Hamilton County courts employee, was accused of punching a juvenile inmate. Hunter was convicted of improperly obtaining the inmate’s health records and sharing them with her brother. There was no decision on the other charges, which included alleged tampering with dates on court records.

This is pretty easy to prove if she did do it. Anybody have the exact info on evidence produced against her? Didn't have time to read through the court case.

Shockingly, the jury was mostly comprised of wives of her political foes, and friends, attorneys and neighbors of the prosecutor.

Just ...wow

She appealed it citing there was no evidence and the Ohio judge said there was plenty of evidence.

She got railroaded, license stripped, bankrupted, and is a going to be convicted felon, because she exposed the dishonesty and discrimination in the local justice system.

Still, Hunter worked behind the bench to protect the rights of children including refusing to allow their names and faces to appear in news coverage.

Among other things, she instilled a system that focused on rehabilitation instead of incarceration.

Hunter mandated prosecutors turn over all critical evidence to defense lawyers.

Tracie Hunter, Cincinnati’s first African-American female Juvenile Court Judge in Hamilton County’s 110-year history, who’s also a church pastor in Cincinnati, is surrounded by member publishers of the Black Press of America during the National Newspaper Publishers Association 2019 Annual Convention’s Welcome Reception on June 26 in Cincinnati, OH.

She forced juvenile court to change its entire reporting system; outlawed the routine shackling of juveniles in her courtroom; exposed that juvenile case statistics were being inaccurately reported and falsified to the Ohio Supreme Court; hired African Americans in key positions; reduced default judgments; and spearheaded the change of state election laws which paved the way for ex-felons to vote.

“I also bought in people from outside of Cincinnati who affirmed that shielding these 12-year-old kids faces and preventing their names from being in the media helped to reduce any chance that they’d have a repeat run-in with law enforcement,” Hunter said.

“I’ve lost hope in the justice system which is why I became a judge in the first place,” Hunter said. “I’ve not lost faith in God even though they’ve tried to drive me out of this city even with what the Ku Klux Klan did,” she said, alluding to when the hooded racist group threatened 12-year-olds and their families in front of North College Hill Elementary School after Hunter ruled that their faces and names couldn’t be used in the media.

“There is so much racism, so much nepotism and so much cronyism here in Cincinnati but I just hold on to the belief that the truth shall set you free and I will continue to stand on the truth,” she said.

Here's someone that was enacting real, meaningful change. I really hope black leaders in the US get behind her and provide all the support this sister needs.

Edit: Is there a GoFundMe to assist with her legal costs? I'd like to contribute
