We’re going to address the charges head-on. She looks forward to having the full story told and clearing her name.

— Victor P. Henderson, attorney for Rhonda Crawford, the former law clerk who was fired from her position and later indicted after she allegedly impersonated a judge while running for an elected position as a judge in Cook County, Illinois, commenting on what his client intends to do in the wake of her landslide victory in yesterday’s election. Earlier this month, the Illinois Supreme Court barred Crawford from taking a seat on the court if she won the election while her criminal charges were still pending and suspended her ability to practice law.
