GlennGrothman, a (non-practicing) lawyer who happens to be far right leaning GOPer, is getting some pub for being a proponent of changing Wisconsin law to allow hearsay at preliminary hearings in criminal cases (which diminishes the rights of individuals--perhaps hearsay will be in at all trials in all instances next). <br /><br />According to jsonline over the weekend, there has been some ongoing debate over CAPCOs, which appear to have continued support in the Assembly (JeffFitzgerald's campaign has apparently been a recipient of significant donations by supporters of that legislation-and one suspects the Senate led by ScottFitzgerald) but are adamantly opposed by SenGrothman who has gotten some pub due to that opposition.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if there's enough support for CAPCOs without Grothman or if he gets logrolled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-49804955152530264032012-02-13T19:25:31.949-06:002012-02-13T19:25:31.949-06:00The evaluation of the placement of the GOP staff @...The evaluation of the placement of the GOP staff @ MBF offices and the interplay of the memo in light of all the visits by legislators is an interesting and thoughtful analysis that hopefully gets more attention (along with where the computer that was logged on by the Fitz staffer who wrote the memo was located--how long it was open was some interesting data analysis). <br /><br />Sounds like there needs to be a tunnel like to the Risser Justice Center from the capitol building to increase efficiency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
