Former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan is asking a federal court for a new trial or an acquittal following her felony conviction.
Dugan’s defense team filed the request yesterday, claiming she acted within the law and that jurors received inconsistent guidance during deliberations. A jury convicted Dugan of felony obstruction in December for helping a man in her courtroom evade an immigration arrest. Jurors cleared her of a separate misdemeanor charge tied to concealing someone from discovery and arrest. Dugan resigned from the bench earlier this month as the case continues through post-trial motions.
