Fascinating behind-the-scenes account of what happened in the Supreme Court by Christian Schneider. This definitely fleshes out the conflicting allegations...
According to one witness, Bradley charged toward Prosser, shaking her clenched fist in his face. Another source says they were “literally nose to nose.” Prosser then put his hands up to push her away. As one source pointed out, if a man wants to push a woman who is facing him, he wouldn’t push her in the chest (unless he wants to face an entirely different criminal charge). Consequently, Prosser put his hands on Bradley’s shoulders to push her away, and in doing so, made contact with her neck.
At that moment, another justice approached Bradley from behind and pulled her away from Prosser, saying, “Stop it, Ann, this isn’t like you.” Bradley then shouted, “I was choked!” Another justice present replied, “You were not choked.” In a statement following the incident, Bradley maintained Prosser “put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold.”
On Monday night, Bradley called Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs to talk to him about the incident. On the morning of Wednesday, June 15, Tubbs joined the justices in a closed-door meeting, where he discussed “issues relating to workplace violence.”
During the meeting, Chief Justice Abrahamson actually reenacted the incident on Chief Tubbs — no doubt an amusing sight, as the diminutive Abrahamson mimicked choking the tall, portly police chief. During her demonstration, Abrahamson emphasized that Prosser had exerted “pressure” on Bradley’s throat.
“There was no pressure,” interrupted the justice who had initially broken up the incident between Bradley and Prosser. “That’s only because you broke us apart,” shot back Bradley. This exchange led several meeting attendees to believe Bradley was making up the charge, as they took her rejoinder as an admission that there was no pressure applied to her neck.
During the Wednesday meeting, Bradley urged the justices present to take a vote on whether Prosser should be forced into anger-management counseling. The threat was implicit — if they didn’t vote her way, she would be forced to “take the next step” against Prosser, which they took to mean filing a restraining order against him. The other justices balked, wondering whether they even had the authority to order Prosser into any type of counseling. Some thought it would be “demeaning” to Prosser to have to go to counseling when he had done nothing wrong. In the end, Bradley realized she didn’t have enough justices on her side and no vote was taken.
Ping!
Typical Liberal... when the facts don’t fit you make up sh**.
Absolutely incredible and yet...not. Insanity rules the Left.
A set-up from the start.
These people (the leberals on that court) are real creeps. She physically attacks the guy and when he pushes her away, she starts claiming she was choked. Just crazy.
Where’s James Cagney and the grapefruit?
No doubt in my mind that it was the lib who instigated the physical confrontation. That’s what libs do when things don’t go their way.
See: Wisconsin, Greece etc. etc.
Sounds to me as if Prosser might make the case that he was attempting to defend himself against an actual or potential assault, using a “measured” response. Perhaps he should have pulled out his Glock and put her out of her misery. I don’t believe in measured response to an aggressive act. I believe in an overwhelming response against an aggressor so that he/she is not able to do it - or more - again, ie, he/she is not released to fight again another day.
Lack of adult supervision.
Perfect image!
How does someone that emotionally and mentally disturbed get to be a state supreme court justice? Shocking, even these days. She should be sued for slander, although we know that a decent man like Prosser won’t go that route. Appalling behaviour for a person with such grave responsibilities. I truly hope for the sake of that state that she gets replaced soon
I hope Prosser NEVER admits to doing ANYTHING wrong.
He’ll need a bigger grapefruit.
The saving grace for Justice Prosser is that there were witnesses present who back up his version of events that it was the rat judge who advanced on him while she was in a rage.
When are they going to throw the bi!$$ in jail for making false statements?
Hellbitch alert
Bradley should be charged with attempted aggravated assault.
She should also be sanctioned for falsely accusing Prosser of choking her. Impeachment should be next and Gov. Walker can nominate her replacement.
Let those insane lefty monkeybutts scream about that.
Sorry folks. We, as a country, have totally lost our minds. Where will it end?
