A retired Chicago judge was stripped of her law license after she was accused of stealing more than $240,000 from her decorated World War II veteran uncle to buy cryptocurrency.
Patricia Martin admitted to misappropriating funds trusted to her by her uncle, Oscar Wilkerson Jr., and his power of attorney while the honorable Tuskegee Airman was in the care of a nursing home, according to CBS Chicago.
Martin was disbarred on consent, according to court records filed in the Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday.
“She intentionally used for her own purposes more than $240,000 she had agreed to hold for an elderly relative who was residing in a nursing home, made false statements to the physician who held her relative’s power of attorney about the balances in his bank and investment accounts, and did not produce documents in response to an ARDC subpoena,” the court’s Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission said.
Martin had served as a Circuit Judge for the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois for 24 years before she retired in 2020.
She admitted to stealing Wilkerson’s life savings in June.
It just goes on and on, doesn’t it!
Black Lives Matter!
ROTFLMAO
This black thugette needs to lose her retirement as well and maybe some of her court decisions need to be reversed. If she sentenced me you can bet I’d be hiring a lawyer.
Its what Democrats do and now she can run for Mayor or Governor cause she has experiance
