Dane County DA requests special prosecutor for Supreme Court fracas

Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne is asking that a special prosecutor be appointed to decide whether any criminal charges should be filed
involving an alleged fracas in June between state Supreme Court justices David Prosser and Ann Walsh Bradley.

In a news release issued Monday morning, Ozanne said he has received reports from the Dane County Sheriff's Office regarding the alleged June 13
incident, in which Prosser is alleged to have choked Bradley in her office after Bradley told him to leave.

Ozanne said in an interview that he received the reports on Thursday, and that they did not make any recommendation on whether to charge anyone.

Ozanne said he was requesting that a special prosecutor be appointed because of his role in litigation that was connected to the alleged incident. At
the time of the incident, the Supreme Court was deciding an open meetings lawsuit brought by Ozanne that involved a law stripping most public workers
of most collective bargaining rights.
