No Charges in Bradley-Prosser Confrontation

It is still not entirely clear what happened, and while there will likely be no consequences from the event there probably should be.

"Neither Supreme Court Justice David Prosser nor fellow Justice Ann Walsh Bradley will face criminal charges for a June altercation that broke out as the judges were considering Gov. Scott Walker's union bargaining law, a special prosecutor has determined.

But the incident still could have far-reaching effects - possibly even opening the doors of the court to the public as justices debate how to decide cases.
...
Once news of the altercation between Prosser and Bradley surfaced, the Dane County Sheriff's Department launched an investigation. The office gave its findings to Ozanne this month but made no recommendations on whether anyone should be charged.

Ozanne, a Democrat, then asked Dane County Circuit Chief Judge William Foust to name a special prosecutor because Ozanne had brought the case the two justices were arguing about when the incident occurred.
