Racine County Corruption has finished the
vetting process
of judicial candidates for
Racine County Circuit Court
branch 9.
The month long vetting
process included the following;
Attending
several public judicial forums,
Reviewing
court records,
Reviewing
court decisions,
Reviewing
court documents
Attending
court hearings and trials
Interviewing
plaintiffs and defendants
Sending
out judicial questionnaires
One
on one conversations with the judicial candidates
During the judicial vetting process
we also considered the dynamics
that each candidate will bring
into his court, to include the following:
Constitutional
law and protecting the citizen
The
candidate’s current position in life
Community
involvement
Life
experiences
Why
the candidate desires to be Judge,
Who
will be the fairest of the fairest and
The
current state of affairs in the Racine County Circuit Court system.
Let’s
begin and end with the man who currently holds the Branch 9 judicial seat, incumbent
Chief Judge Allen Torhorst.
Judge
Allen Torhorst announced last year in 2014 he would not be seeking judicial re-election
this year. That was before Allen Torhorst was anointed as Chief Judge of State Judicial Administrative
District, Branch 2, (not to be confused with the local Racine County Circuit Court
branches). As Chief Judge, Allen Torhorst presides over all the Judges in
State Judicial Administrative District, Branch 2. State
Judicial Administrative District Branch 2 includes the following courts;
Racine
County Circuit Court
Kenosha
County Circuit Court and
Walworth
County Circuit Court.
With
the position of Chief Judge, came the power and responsibilities of managing
and controlling 30 plus judges, court commissioners and court staff. See chart below.
Judge
Torhorst’s change of heart of retirement raised concerns in the RCC staff as to
why one would reconsider unretirement.
Considering
Judge Torhorst was already over 70 years old when he announced retirement last
year, we wondered what could have inspired him to sit on the bench for another 6 years.
So
the $100.00 dollar question became why did Allen Torhorst unretire and wish to continue to sit on the bench?
Why did Judge Torhorst decide
to unretire?
Was
it the lure of power?
Did
he have unfinished goals as a judge?
Perhaps the additional pay and pension increase as Chief Judge?
Or
was it something much more, let us say complicated?
The $100.00 dollar question was never answered.
Nor did Judge Torhorst bother to respond to our list of judicial questions forwarded to him for the vetting process.
With
the $100.00 dollar question remaining unanswered. RCC can only speculate to the
reason(s) why Allen Torhorst now wants to continue to be a Judge. After spending several hundred hours in the judicial vetting process, we were unable to determine thru research, observation and questioning why Allen Torhorst changed his mind on retirement. The reason for his change of heart has not been disclosed to us. Allen Torhorst appears to be a judicial candidate without passion, reasons or goals to continue as a judge.
STRIKE ONE !
Which now brings us to our second concern in the Racine County Circuit
Court system, the issue of; Veracity.
RCC
in the past has made aware to the Racine County Circuit Court system issues of
veracity before the court. The
court has time and time again failed to act on our complaints. There is a current case before the Racine
County Court system that veracity is again an issue before the court, Case # 2014CF1506. The
court continues to fail to act upon our notice. The lack of veracity before the Racine Court currently violates SCR 20:3:3 ( lack of candor before the Tribunal) and Federal U.S. Section 18 U.S.C. § 1503.
With
Judge Allen Torhorst acting as Chief Judge, who has the oversight power of all
the Racine Circuit Court Judges, the lack of veracity continues to remain an
issue in the Racine County Circuit Court system.
STRIKE TWO !
Our third concern of the Racine County Circuit Court system is the continuing appearance of status quo while under Torhorst's control.The Racine County Circuit Court system continues to remain a judicial district in need of cleansing under the Torhorst regime.
Several bias, prejudice and corrupt judges continue their schemes under Torhorst's rule.
The game of "pay to play " appears to be alive and well in the Racine County Circuit Court system.
Judge Torhorst stated "The judicial system is a branch of government. It must be adequately funded to be/remain responsive and independent." -source, Racine County Bar Association, 2015 public forum candidate information/questionnaire sheet.
Judge Torhorst didn't state where the funding would come from. With the scion billionarie before the court, avoiding the requirement of providing a DNA sample or registering as a pedifile or sexual offender, it became showtime...... "show me the money."
Folks, we can't call strike three.
That call continues to remain in the hands of the voters.
but if we could make the call;
STRIKE THREE-YOU'RE OUT OF HERE !
