Judge mugged near Obama’s house Monday
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

November 7, 2008

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter apallasch@suntimes.com

The night before Election Day, a Cook County judge was mugged just blocks from Barack Obama’s home in the Kenwood neighborhood.

Judge Eileen Brewer, a highly rated Harvard Law grad like Obama, lives a few streets away from the president-elect. The robbery happened Monday night, hours before voters would elect Obama president and retain Brewer as a judge.

“He really beat me up,” Brewer said of her attacker.

She had just dropped off her son’s tutor and was on her front porch when he struck. The man weighed over 200 pounds, and she had a tough time fighting him off, she said. “No broken bones, just Advil injuries. He punched me in the stomach, on the arms, my back. He dragged me across the porch,” she said.

After fighting unsuccessfully to hang onto her purse, Brewer chased the mugger down the block, shouting.

“This happens in Hyde Park,” she said.

Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, who also lives in the neighborhood, was mugged on her block last year.

The neighborhood next to the University of Chicago is a pocket of affluence among higher-crime areas.

Brewer and Obama live just north of Hyde Park Boulevard, in the Kenwood neighborhood.

Actually, Chicago is pretty low on murder per capita rates. It ranks well below Detroit, DC, Baltimore, Philly, etc.
