The court system in Milwaukee may be adding hours to deal with a backlog of pending cases.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Chief Judge Mary Triggiano told a WISN that she is considering adding night court hearings in order to clear some of the 17 hundred criminal cases on the docket in Milwaukee County. The judge says it’s an ‘all hands on deck’ situation. But she says it could take a year-and-a-half to clear the current glut of cases.
