A day after former Judge Tracie Hunter's jail sentence was imposed, all three Hamilton County commissioners have condemned the action and said it "makes no sense" and casts doubt on the local justice system.
Judge Patrick Dinkelacker on Monday ordered Hunter to serve six months in jail, a sentence that was imposed more than four years ago after she was convicted of unlawful interest in a public contract.
"A grave injustice occurred Monday in the Hamilton County Courthouse as the sentence imposed upon former Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter leaves many questioning fairness of the local justice system," the commissioners said. "Incarcerating Judge Hunter makes no sense given the nature of the offense involved."
The commissioners said the ordeal shows the need for criminal justice reform in the courthouse.
"Our community gains nothing from incarceration given the punishing effects that this matter has had on Judge Hunter’s personal and professional life over the last five years. We, as a community, should seek restorative justice rather than retribution," the commissioners said.
