Ex-Judge Robert Hall of Springfield, IL; ticket-fixer, congenital liar   For many, many years, Judge Robert Hall sat as a Sangamon County (Springfield) Associate Judge.
During his undistinguished career on the bench, Bobby was charged with egregious misconduct by the Illinois Juridical Commission.
Subsequently, Bobby was found guilty of fixing a traffic ticket on behalf of the daughter of his fellow jurist, Judge Christopher Perrin. After a conversation between Bobby the Fixer and Chris (Judge Perrin) the Fixer, Bobby dismissed a traffic ticket against Chris’s daughter.
Bobby unlawfully initialed a court document falsely claiming that the state’s attorney’s office had moved for dismissal of the case against Chris’s daughter when in fact the prosecutors never made such a motion. In fact, court records prove that no prosecutor was present when Bobby threw the case out.
Knowing he’d likely be removed from the bench, Bobby did what any coward would be expected to do; he resigned before the Supreme Court did it.
Due to the fact that Judicial Misfits in Illinois are held to a lower standard of conduct than we are, Bobby was never criminally charged for ticket-fixing or for falsifying a public record.
Do ya really think this was the first time that Bobby fixed a ticket for another judge, attorney friend and/or a family member? Of course not! This was the first time that someone ratted had the courage to rat him out.
Bobby’s resignation from the bench allows him to retire and collect an annual pension of somewhere around $140,000 a year. Who was the moron that said “crime doesn’t pay?”
