Judge in Darrell Brooks trial will run for state Supreme Court.

WAUKESHA, Wis–The judge that presided over the Darrell Brooks trial is running for the state Supreme Court. The husband of Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow tells a Milwaukee TV station that his wife will be announcing her candidacy soon.

Dorow gained national attention for the way she handled the Brooks case–especially after the Waukesha Christmas Parade attacker decided to defend himself at trial.

Dorow would be the second conservative candidate in the race for what will be an open seat on the high court. There are two liberal judges that have already announced their intentions to run. A statewide primary would be held in February.
