A former Cook County judge who stole large sums of money from an elderly friend who served as a Tuskegee Airman received a probationary sentence on Friday.
Patricia Martin, 66, received four years of probation after pleading guilty to theft of $100,000 to $500,000, according to court records. The judge also ordered her to pay $122,763.73 in restitution and comply with standard probation conditions that include random drug testing.
Martin once served as presiding judge of the Child Protection Division and retired in 2020.
Prosecutors initially accused her of stealing nearly $250,000 from then-95-year-old Oscar Wilkerson, a longtime friend whose finances she controlled under power of attorney. Using that authority, Martin closed some of Wilkerson’s bank accounts and withdrew more than $115,000, officials said. She used the money to buy crypto.

“Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is on the verge of dumping his final piece of real estate in crime-ridden, far-left–controlled Chicago, and he hasn’t looked back since moving Citadel’s global headquarters to Miami.”
Our judiciary is corrupt. The one judge didn’t give the other judge jail time as a matter of professional courtesy.
She felt she was entitled.
Anywhere.
This creature committed felony fraud. It belongs in prison.
“She felt she was entitled.”
She certainly did. Articles such as this makes my blood pressure go up!
“The thefts were uncovered after a senior living facility terminated Wilkerson’s residency because of unpaid bills. An attorney was brought in to examine his finances and filed a lawsuit against Martin in 2022. She failed to respond, resulting in a default judgment of about $1.1 million, according to court filings.
Because Martin previously served as a Cook County judge, her case was assigned to McHenry County Judge Tiffany Davis. Wilkerson died in 2023, one day before his 97th birthday. Martin was disbarred the same year.”
She used the stolen $$$ to buy crypto.
Black on Black crime.
Even a typical Lester Maddox style white segregationalist would NEVER think of stealing money from an honorable airman during WWII, white or black.
Just think. That man served our country, worked hard, and saved money to make sure he would be taken care of in his old age without any worries. The “entitled” witch stole his money, security, and peace of mind. She should have been sentenced to prison.
It’s OK she’s black and showed up in court and In a wheel chair proving that she was a victim of White oppression.
Wonder how the crypto trade worked out?
What two-tier justice system?
Did they make her give up her password?
Tell me some are not above the law. I wish caning was a part of punishment. Every case she decided needs to be reviewed. Probation, indeed.
And she was too stupid to at least make sure his retirement housing was kept up to date.
Get a rope!
