Courts
Throwing La Crosse DA Gruenke scenarios about politics in law and the courts, plus Kendhammer murder appeal
An interesting and fun La Crosse Talk PM on Tuesday with La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke, where we threw him some scenarios that are happening or could happen in regards to the courts, law and relating that to politics.
La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
Some of it had to deal with the Donald Trump trial, another with a Wisconsin judge possibly needing to recuse himself, plus some local scenarios where that might happen — like a La Crosse judge flying a Black Lives Matters or Blue Lives Matters flag outside their home.
We also discussed juries in the Trump trial, the La Crosse Todd Kendhammer murder trial and the West Salem quarry triple homicide trial.
Sticking with Kendhammer, we talked about a Thursday decision coming from the Court of Appeals on the 2017 conviction that he killed his wife.
Gruenke is up for election in November, but he doesn’t have an opponent. That’s a trend throughout all 72 Wisconsin counties. Why? We also talked about that.
Lastly, I went back to traffic and dashcams conversation from last week. Should people have them? If your own dashcam catches you doing something illegal, what do you do?
