DUI Judge gets off with supervision

17th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Steven Nordquist who was arrested for DUI on June 30, 2006 received only a fine and 1 year of court supervision for pleading guilty.

I frankly do not care if that is the standard sentence for 1st time offenders in the 17th circuit; judges should be held to a higher standard.

Shame on Judge Jack Joyce for pandering to an associate. This case should have been moved to a different circuit to at the very least, remove any appearance of favoritisim.
