MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser stepped down from a drunken driving case this year after he apparently went outside court proceedings and contacted a state lab. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the court was notified that someone claiming to be Prosser contacted the Laboratory of Hygiene on February 19th and asked questions that could related to the case. Judges are supposed to decide cases based on facts presented, not information gathered independently. The day that contact became public, Prosser withdrew. Messages left Saturday at Prosser’s office and with a court spokesman seeking comment from Prosser weren’t immediately returned to The Associated Press. Prosser’s withdrawal leaves six judges on the case, which deals with an unsettled area of law on when analysts must testify in drunken driving cases.
