A DuPage County judge has been tapped to preside over a politically delicate battery case against Cook County Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Brim, who was arrested earlier this year at the downtown Daley Center court complex after allegedly shoving a sheriff’s deputy and throwing a set of keys near a security checkpoint.
Already two Cook County judges have recused themselves from the Chicago case, and Cook County Chief Judge Evans asked the Illinois Supreme Court for permission to appoint an out-of-county judge to the case — a request that was granted Nov. 15th. So during a brief hearing on the misdemeanor charge Wednesday in the Daley Center, Cook County Judge E. Kenneth Wright Jr., who presides over the court’s first municipal district where the misdemeanor case is being handled, told Brim, her attorney and an assistant state’s attorney that “Judge Liam Brennan from DuPage County is going to hear this case.”
