Accused Judge Was Clueless About Illegal's Plan to Escape ICE Arrest, Investigation Finds
 
An investigation into a judge accused of helping an illegal alien avoid an immigration agent determined that she actually had no idea about the escape plan.

Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph was not aware of an escape plan for an illegal migrant in her courtroom and only inadvertently helped him when allowing him to leave through a back door, according to findings released by the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct. The determination, which still recommended reprimand for the judge, largely puts to rest a saga that has stretched on for more than seven years.
 
“I find that Judge Joseph did not know about -- much less authorize -- the escape plan, and did not mislead court authorities following the incident,” hearing officer Denis McInerney wrote in a 117-page report.

The incident occurred in April 2018 when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent arrived at the Newton District Court -- where Joseph was serving on the bench -- to apprehend Jose Medina-Perez, an illegal alien from the Dominican Republic who had previously been deported on two different occasions and was barred from re-entering the United States for 20 years.

1.  Ignorance is supposed to be no excuse before the law, except in this case, I'm sure.

2.  If she only marginally helped, that is still aiding and abetting, except in this case, I'm sure.

Total B.S.  It isn't customary for judges to allow defendants to leave by the back door.  The judge knew what was going on.

This is also Wisconsin where the law has its own definitions.
