CHICAGO — A Cook County judge elected in 2024 to her first six-year term has been reassigned after circulating an image of a fake toy called “My First Ankle Monitor” that included a rendering of a Black toddler wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.
“My husband’s idea of Christmas humor,” Judge Caroline Glennon-Goodman wrote in a text that she allegedly circulated to another member of the judiciary by mistake. The image was taken from a TikTok video.
Glennon-Goodman has been assigned a pretrial courtroom at 26th and California since April 2024, where she ruled on detention petitions and set conditions of release for people newly accused of crimes. She was a Cook County assistant public defender from 1997 until last year and handled murder cases for nearly two decades.
Chief Judge Timothy Evans reassigned Glennon-Goodman on Friday.
Injustice Watch first reported on the incident, saying Glennon-Goodman had told a confidant that “the message was intended for a close friend and was instead mistakenly sent to a fellow judge with the same first name.”
Glennon-Goodman was the second most lenient of the pretrial division’s nine judges when considering detention petitions. CWBChicago found last year that she rejected nearly half of all detention requests, while the pretrial division approved about 66% of such petitions overall.
Court workers have been told that a former Cook County state’s attorney, who won a judgeship during the same election cycle as Glennon-Goodman, will be taking her place in the pretrial division.
Black humor.
The senior Judge Timothy Evans, probably doesn’t like this new Judge anyway. Re-assignment should not have been necessary. Why not just counsel her in private?
I thought it was a funny joke, but then, I’m not a judge.
In this case, quite literally.
Is that a real toy or is it AI photoshopped?
Many “judges” aren’t judges.
“Wetback Cur” Merchan, Arthur Engmoron and Lewis A. Kaplan are good examples of the dogsqueeze that pretend to be judges.
Dark Vader approves!
She looks pretty stupid.
How to address a lawyer with half a brain?
“Your Honor”
I miss the old days when you could tell a joke to a friend and not be crucified for it.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
“Counse half a lor”
Kinda like members of Congress in that the kind of people who really want those positions are actually the last ones you’d really want to have them.
Far too stupid to be a judge. On the other hand, this is in Cook County, Illinois, one of the bluest areas in the country, so it’s not so surprising she’s a judge.
Correct.
Indeed.
>> She looks pretty stupid.
She looks kinda “linebacker” too. If you know what I mean.
