todayMarch 11, 2020

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Two conservative state Supreme Court justices are defending Justice Dan Kelly against a liberal challenger’s accusations that he’s corrupt. Kelly, part of the court’s conservative majority, faces Jill Karofsky in an April 7 election. Karofsky has repeatedly accused Kelly in debates of being corrupt because he consistently rules in favor of conservative-leaning groups. Kelly has accused Karofsky of slandering him. Chief Justice Pat Roggensack and Deputy Chief Justice Annette Ziegler issued a joint statement Wednesday saying Karofsky’s attacks risk undermining the high court’s legitimacy. Karofsky spokesman Sam Roecker didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
